I don’t normally choose a word theme for the year. A few weeks ago while reading my twitter feed I read a tweet that proclaimed that 2010 was the year of something. I don’t even remember what it was. I just remember I immediately thought “2010 is the year of compassion.” In my Romans study [...]
1) What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before? had a son and ran a marathon 2) Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? yes. My goal last year was to have a healthy baby and read more books. I haven’t written out my [...]
Here’s some of the great thins that happened in 2009 1. Roman Meeting my boy was the best part of the year. Getting to assist with the L&D was an opportunity that I never thought I’d have. I can say that I was the first person to know “It’s a boy!” 2. 1/2 Marathon With [...]
Today was an odd day. Daniel, myself and the kids were certainly dragging this morning after a fun day on Sunday eating at Salt Lick and walking the Austin Trail of Lights. As I was strategizing to attack my To Do list I called my mother-in-law, Felicia. She told me that her brother (and our [...]
I hope you can look back on your 2008 with satisfaction and look forward to 2009 with excitement. Get out there and do something you’ve never done before.

“Hi, I’m Chicken Little, and I’m here selling helmets.” ~ President Bush I know, he didn’t actually say that, but it might as well have been what was on his tele-prompter. The drama that is playing out on our national stage is ridiculous and maddening. I have never “written my congressman” but this week I [...]
Today Annabelle went to Mother’s Day Out for the first time. I think I was the most excited out of the three of us. Five hours a day twice a week we’ll be kid-o-free and Ace will have a super time with new friends. She’s the only young lady in the class of four, but [...]
I love watching the Olympics. I love the stories of the athletes, I love the competition, I love seeing other countries and cultures, I love the Jamaican bobsled team. The Opening Ceremonies are ‘tonight’ (Beijing is +23 hours from here, so they are in the middle of the first day of competition). We’ll be [...]
2001 – 2008 TiVo died this past weekend. It’s a little difficult to breathe, let alone watch TV. I’ve known TiVo longer than I have known my wife. He was like a member of the family. Like that jolly uncle that gives you bear hugs, movie recommendations and takes out all of the commercials of [...]
