Great Video.

Kleenex Alert

Being I have never served in the military, I can only imagine what that would be like to come home from being overseas or just gone for a long period of time. Thanks to all the men and women serving in any from of our Military. We are free because of you and others like you, who are willing to sacrifice.

I received this in my inbox yesterday from my youngest.

HI I love you do you love me I bet you do, do you I hope you do and by the way I love to sing do you like to sing I bet you do cus I do lu lu lu lu thats me singing here it gos again lu lu lu lu by I love you.

I thought it was so cute, as you can tell we tend to have a bit of an identity crisis. But that is okay, I love getting messages like this. Tonight my oldest surprised me with “Dad, could we please turn the tv off for dinner?” I had it on while I was cooking so I did not miss the weather, we usually have it off to eat, so we can talk about how each others day went. I love to do Hi’s and Lo’s with the girls, even when I forget on hectic nights the girls still remember to do them. I think communication is so important in these early years. With time it will be critical that they feel comfortable coming to us with anything, right? Just a glimpse in my evening. Thanks for visiting and Go Pens and Steelers!

It is a beautiful site outside, all the snow is sticking quite well to the freezing rain we received this morning. Thought I would share our view from our back porch.

I found this over at Toby’s Blog. Now that is Awesome! Go Steelers!!

This was something that Brenda heard on Focus on the Family yesterday during her ride into work. An excerpt for a speech by Scott Klusendorf.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention Brenda!

As most of you know, I am a stay at home dad. A day that Brenda goes back to work is usually a day of laundry and getting the house back in order from a weekend. Today was actually day after an extended weekend of lots of running so the house is a wreck. But Thanks to our new President I have really only got one thing accomplished, that’s dinner. I managed to make a homemade sauce and cook some pasta for rigatoni. On a serious note I have stayed absolutely glued to the television. It was something I wanted to see, a moment  that I will never forget. What a great historic even in American history. I do want to extend prayers to Senator Kennedy and his family.

Great video I found on YouTube:

A guaranteed laugh! Leave it to MercyME and Happy S.L.O.B. Day!!

I could not resist….My wife sent me this. Thanks Brenda!!

I stumbled upon this in a forum for Walleye fishing, what this has to do with fishing I don’t know but I thought it was funny!

I have not contributed to Brody Harper’s Positive Post Tuesday in a while. So here it goes:

What a wonderful worship service the youth at Valencia Presbyterian Church did this past Sunday. Being Brenda and I sing in the Praise Team every Sunday unless we are sick, camping, or for Brenda, out of town working, it was refreshing being on the opposite side of the pulpit to worship. Pastor Jean did a great job organizing and leading the group and our music director played guitar. Two of our high school Seniors did a magnificent job with there sermons. Oh how very blessed our church is to have these talented and dedicated young people. Here is picture of them practicing before the worship service started:

Go Steelers!

How did this happen? If you have not seen Wordle, this service looks at your blog and randomly places the words in a tag cloud, giving more prominence to words that are used more frequently. Well I have a beef with this particular wordle, not that it is Wordle fault. I am only to blame. If you look close, there is one small word of Brown’s, that being the Cleveland Browns. Notice though, that there are no words reflecting the Pittsburgh Steelers, that being the Pittsburgh Steelers! How did this happen? I guess I don’t mention the Steelers when I blog. I will be working on that. Anyways, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in the play offs this year, but the Pittsburgh Steelers had a bye week this weekend. So I hope they are rested up for the game coming this weekend Pittsburgh Steelers vs. San Diego Chargers.

Go Steelers!!!!
