I told the story a day or two ago about Alex saying that Ian was not his brother anymore, so I would like to balance it with this little anecdote… Ian was practicing his piano after lunch as I headed back up to the office. I stopped at the top of the stairs to leave…
Family
More Than Jesus
“If it’s about something less than him, we can fragment on anything.” Last night I was listening to a podcast we listen to regularly, and this week’s episode just resonated with me more than I can say. The show covers all sorts of things… it’s just a weekly conversation between two guys trying to live…
Donovan Michael Bowers
I don’t have any photos yet, but should have some soon… just wanted to announce here that not only did my sister have her fourth child yesterday… IT’S A BOY!!! That’s just nuts! They have three other girls, so I just assumed we’d have another niece! 🙂 All did not go as they had hoped,…
My Face Hurts, and Spooky Dreams
This past weekend, we went over to Buffalo to celebrate with a friend (who is also now our nieces’ grandpa…) his 20 years of working with the same church where Jen’s dad was for some 30 plus years. There were lots of blasts from the past. It was quite nice. The only not nice thing…
Peace and Quiet?
So, yesterday afternoon, we drove the kids over to Grandma & Grandpa’s (well, almost all the way there…. we met in the middle…) and now we have a couple days with no kids! That’s great on a couple accounts… 1) Grandma LOVES to have her grandkids… especially stay overnight, and 2) we get to have…
God Is In Our Family, Too
Just a quickie here… I was reading a story to Kirstie tonight, and we got to a part where I was reading about something that God made. The narrator of the story was saying something about God (I forget what) and Kirsten interrupts to tell me, “God’s in our family, too!” Ha! That was awesome….
2006
I must begin this look back at 2006 with a short commentary on what we just stayed up to witness as a family on our TV. The Ball Drop. Every year it’s the same thing… ridiculous people saying ridiculous things (for hours!) while surrounded by a million other ridiculously dressed people waiting for the clock…
Year’s End
Well, we have 30 minutes of this year left, and I just wanted to write a quick post to the ol’ blog… for no particular reason. I hope to post a few more things once the family is in bed and the house is quiet. We’re just having a fairly “quiet” New Year’s celebration here…
More Hospital Visits
(Sorry, this is kind of old news by now, but it has been very busy in the office so far this week, catching up from a week missed. I meant to post it the day it happened, but never got to it. Hopefully the many-days-old version is fairly accurate still…) 🙂 Just Can’t Get Enough…Saturday…
Where We Stand
Well, there is way more than I can or should write right now. It’s 3am, and we spent today doing laundry, dishes, more laundry, changing the sheets on every bed, still more laundry, listening to the Bills game (it was blacked out here…), folding laundry, watching Santa Clause 2 (the Tim Allen movie) and then…
