MY FAM-

I had to give a talk in church about a week ago. I was assigned to speak on gratitude. I have to say that it was one of the more difficult speaking assignments I have undertaken. Not that the topic itself was overly complicated, it was just that every time I would begin to earnestly ponder upon gratitude, I would be overcome by thoughts of my family. I have such a beautiful family! For some reason even though I feel like I have definitely not lived up to my side of the bargain as of yet, the Lord saw fit to bless me with an outstanding wife. Her capacity to love and show love baffles me every day. Her potential is far beyond my own, I only hope she is capable of dragging me along towards the Celestial Kingdom. And my four children - we often talk about those who have been saved for these last of days - Well, I am humbled that the Lord would entrust me with four of those very elect. Anyway, this Thanksgiving I am more than Grateful for my many blessings - especially my family.

Some Pics from My Sisters House

He is practicing the hang your spit out over your sisters face and then suck it back in trick. I must say he is pretty good at it too. And, by know way do I know about this stunt from personal use or experience, I have just heard of it being used. :D
I am not sure what it is about Hayydn, and I mean no disrespect to my girls because I think the world of each of them, but I can't help but swell up with pride when I look at my son. He is just so freakin' cool! I know he is going to be a pretty studly guy. And, I don't mean that in the traditional sense of studly, I mean he is going to be an outsanding young man! I can't help getting excited about experiences to come. But alas, he is only 4 months old and perhaps I am projecting a bit much. We will have to wait and see. He is pretty cute though!

The Last Game

Kind of sad! This is a photo of my girls chearing at Terel's last football game. I guess we just have to wait for Hayydn. (Even though mom says he is not allowed to play football - Dad is going to have to put his foot down!) :) We are already training, i.e. he watches a lot of football with dad. At just under 4 months old, you can't underestimate the value of watching lots and lots of football. :)
