Parenting with love, humor and the gospel.
"Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger."

Jonathan Franzone My wife and I actually had some time out a while back. After dropping the kids off with my parents we headed to one of our favorite restaurants, Bonefish Grill, and had a very nice (and quiet) meal. Afterwards we headed over to the movie theatre and watched The Dark Knight (yeah it’s been that …
It’s been over four months since I had a migraine, so I guess I’ve started to forget what they were like. It’s almost as if I never had them; just a faint memory of a bad time in my life. Yesterday evening it struck again though. It was very unexpected. Right after dinner the kids, …
Yesterday I personally contributed to the destruction of an entire rain forest. Well… that may be a slight exaggeration. I did cut my back yard, though, which was pretty darn close to the same thing. You see a couple of weeks ago I broke the handle to our lawnmower. And when I say broke, I …

Sorry that I haven’t posted in a while. To tell you the truth I’ve actually been a little down. I figure it’s a combination of missing my family so much, being so dern cold and being in such a boring city. I suppose I could get out and do more adventure type stuff, but all …
Not really what you would consider a heat wave, but it has been noticeably warmer than it was. For instance today it is a nice, balmy 14°F (that’s above zero). It is a very nice relief to have this much of an increase in temperature. I can actually go outside without my hat and gloves …
