I like editing photos when I have some time to kill.
It relaxes me and helps me to exercise a creative part of me that I don’t get to use very often.
I got up a little early this morning and curled up with some coffee and my computer, and here’s what I came up with.
Everything that [...]
If you find your way to this blog frequently at all, you’ll probably notice that I’m always trying to solicit comments.
This isn’t because I’m trying to sell something or because I get anything from your comments.
Except one thing: a tiny piece of community.
I love the thought that I can post a thought, or something silly [...]
My dad cracks me up.
This is snippet from an email he sent me today with the subject ‘Just a Rainy Friday‘:
I guess you were wondering how old I was when I realized that mom wasn’t always right.
Well………It was about 1957.
Last week, we had to take Josiah for his second round of vaccinations.
This is quite a joyless process.
Yes, in a big picture sense, vaccinations are a huge blessing, and we are grateful to live in a country where we can get our son the health care he needs
But the process is no fun…
Since I had to take this week off, we decided to try and make the most of it!
We started by spending a few days with Steph’s folks up near Williamsburg. It was great to (for once) not be on a very short schedule, so we were able to spend time with some great folks!
We paid [...]
I just came across this “Ask Carolyn” letter on facebook.
Very, very true.
I took care of Josiah for about 6 hours one day when he was particularly fussy and I was ready to sleep for a week!
My hat’s off to all the mommies out there, especially my wife!
(I tried to link to the author’s page, but [...]
I stumbled across this photo when I was at Katie’s the other night. Apparently, even though I beg and plead for good pics, Katie’s the one who gets them…
That’s my big sis Jennifer with her husband, Moses.
They live — along with my five neices and nephews — clear on the other side of the country [...]
From John Piper:
1. Existing fetal homicide laws make a man guilty of manslaughter if he kills the baby in a mother’s womb (except in the case of abortion).
2. Fetal surgery is performed on babies in the womb to save them while another child the same age is being legally destroyed.
3. Babies can sometimes survive on [...]
We’re taking Josiah to get his first round of vaccinations today.
I’m afraid that the look on his face will be a lot like right after he gets a bath:
About 4 weeks ago, I wrote a first batch of lessons learned from having Josiah.
It got fairly lenghty, so I stopped at a couple of points, but lately I’ve been thinking about 2008, and what it involved and what we learned, and mostly 2008 was about the pregnancy process for us.
And gosh a good a [...]
Thinking about having a baby?
Josiah is now just about 4 weeks old, and as parents of a newborn, here are some things we learned/wish we had known in the past few months:
Babies Are Expensive
When we first seriously considered pregnancy, it seems like the concensus was that a baby costs about $5,000. I can’t think of [...]

What did you did this past Sunday?
The reason I ask, is because my story’s probably better.
You ready for this?
….we sat on our front porch for 3 1/2 hours.
Exciting huh?
Ok, so there’s a little more to it. Here goes:
After church, Steph and I ran to Michaels and to Lowes to get some paint and supplies for [...]
I was driving to work yesterday, and between my debating thoughts about whether to stop at Starbucks (and whether to buy an apple fritter if said stop at Starbucks were to happen), I got to thinking about time and changes. Well, to be fair, I think about everything in the world while I’m on my [...]
Go ‘head. Have your fun :0)
Up until yesterday, you could buy an application for your iPhone that costs $999.99.
What does it do?
Nothing.
Not a darn thing.
It simply puts that red icon in your iPhone’s desktop so that people will see it and know that you are so wealthy that you can afford to waste money just for prestige…
Apple pulled the app, [...]
