Month: September 2008

We tried desperately to take some family pictures today… No luck. We didn’t get one good family pictures, we got several good ones of Carson, a few of Parker, and none of Kayce and I with the boys. Carson did very well. And Parker is three, what more can I say. It must be tough being the center of everyone’s world all the time. Anyway, take a look at the photo gallery to see a few of the better shots. Oh, and hello FALL! I’m hoping that this will be the end of my yard. I’m done mowing for the year. Well, maybe once more, but then that’s all!!!

Well, I was up early this morning… No, really! I went to bed early last night, well, I should say, I went to bed on time last night so I could wake up and actually get to work on time. I’ve been really un disciplined with my sleeping, and so I’ve been really bad about getting up in the morning. I’ve decided I’m going to start going to bed on time, and trying to get up and get a few miles in before I have to go to work. This morning I skipped the work out and just got up on time. One step at a time, I guess.
So, we’ve got this large dead tree on the corner of our house. It is really close to the house, and is going to fall if the wind gets up. I’ve been trying to get someone to cut it down, but no one will give me the price I want to hear. So far it’s been $500.00 or so. Granted, its a big tree and there is a huge amount of liability if it hit the house, or our neighbor’s house, but come on! Oh well, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet (whatever that means). This year has turned out to be the year of big expensive things that I didn’t want to have to buy… A new Roof, and two trees being removed… Fun times.

Sorry about the lack of posts lately…  I’ve been fairly well covered up with work and family stuff.  Big news, Carson is crawling like crazy, and will probably be walking within the month.  He pulls up on anything (or anybody) that happens to be around.  He was actually walking behind one of Parker’s little chairs, pushing it around the room.  It was really early, or I would probably have a video of it.  We are going to Riverfest in a few minutes.  Parker is going to meet Uniquia from the Backyardigans, he’s really excited.  We’ll put the pictures up when we get back.  Other than that…  Kayce is busy at school, but is loving her class this year.  Parker and Carson are having a good time at Nina’s house with the other children she is watching this year.  I’m having a busy few weeks, and what is shaping up to be a busy fall as we get ready to swap our Sunday morning worship schedule around.  There are alot of logistical challenges, and technical issues we are working through, but I’m sure all will go smoothly tomorrow.  Whatever happens, I’m certain God is going to show up in a big way.  I’m going to be directing the cameras at First Baptist for the rest of this month for the contemporary service, Doxa.  With all the new schedule changes, we are really short on volunteers, but we are making do.  I spent a couple of days this week programming lights.  We have some intelligent lights hanging in the worship center, and we just got the control desk back for them, so we can use them for the contemporary service.  I’ve doing alot of lighting this past few weeks.  Variety is one of the perks of my job.  I get to do all sorts of things, so I definitely never get bored.  Well, we are off to riverfest.  Hopefully it won’t be another month between posts!
