My son is SIX YEARS OLD today!

Vacation Wrap!
August 14th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in » My Life, Pictures
I should probably break this post down into several, but I’ve hardly been a prolific blogger recently. So… here’s the photos from our nine-day day vacation to Lakeshore Resort, along the edge of Lake Taneycomo.
As you can see, we tackled quite a variety of activities while we were there… swimming, amusement park rides, boating, trout fishing (yes, you’ll see I caught more than just trout!), swimming, Silver Dollar City, and more.
It was a great trip, and I’m ready to go back!

Lightning!
July 21st, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in » Pictures, Song of the Day
We had a few isolated thunderstorms passing through the area tonight, putting on a spectacular lightning show. I had to break out the camera and try to get a few photos.
Here’s the best of the bunch…
I couldn’t help but think of the verse and chorus from Chris Tomlin’s song, “Indescribable”:
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go?
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow?
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light?
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night.None can fathom!
Indescribable! Uncontainable!
You placed the stars in the sky, and you know them by name!
You are amazing God!
All powerful! Untameable!
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim,
You are amazing God!
Geocaching Log: July 12, 2008

Saturday was spent on a geocaching outing to Maryville, where we picked up three caches in the area we hadn’t had a chance to get to yet. We were pleased to visit a new cache placed late last week… and be first to find!
Anyway, here’s a few photos. The first three are from “Abe’s Parkside Find”; the latter from “MAKE TRACKS”.
Photos from the 4th…

One moment where mom has her back turned…

Friday Photos — Sunday Snapshots
June 20th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in » Pictures
This week’s Friday photos are actually Sunday snapshots, following church a couple weeks back. Nancy had dressed the kids well for some group photos, so we spent a bit of time trying to get a few good ones.
Getting three kids to sit still certainly isn’t easy, so we never did get a great one of all three together. We did get a few individual shots that we thought were decent. Check ‘em out below…
First, Jenna, hamming it up a bit…
Here’s a candid shot of Allison, just doing her own thing (that’s mulch you see in her hand… she loves playing in it for some reason).
I actually caught Jeffrey sitting still long enough to catch this shot…
Last one… Jeffrey and Jenna are pretty good pals.
Jeffrey’s Big Fish
June 17th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in » My Life, Pictures
Jeffrey had a great time fishing Saturday, as you can see from the photos below. He caught two nice bass from Grandpa’s pond, both running in the 3 pound range.
This is the first fish… caught with a little help from Grandpa.
The second of the two (which may have been slightly larger)… well, that was all Jeffrey. He cast the line himself, reeled in the lure (a plastic worm) by himself, set the hook himself, and landed the fish… by himself. All Grandpa had to do was get the net, and all Daddy had to do was grab the camera!
It was a pretty cool deal… I’m SO proud of my little fisherman! He outdid Daddy for sure… and I didn’t mind one bit.
Anyway, here’s the photos of his second fish…
Friday Photos — Little Wet Ducks

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any Friday photos. Thought I’d get back on track this morning…
Anyway, here’s a couple photos of my girls, splashing around in their kiddie pool… loving every moment.
Pray for Jeffrey…
June 5th, 2008 | 4 Comments | Posted in » My Life, Pictures, Prayer Requests
Later today, Nancy and I will be taking our son, Jeffrey, to the hospital for some outpatient surgery. He’s fought problems with a clogged tear duct since he was about a year old, and despite previous surgery to correct the problem, we’ve got to go down that same road again. Hopefully this time the procedure will take like it’s supposed to, and we won’t have further problems down the road.
As surgery goes, it’s a minor procedure, taking about five minutes for doctors to insert a stint into the duct to open it up. It does, however, involve anesthesia to knock him out while they do the procedure, and that’s always something that’s difficult.
Please pray for Jeffrey today, as this definitely won’t be an experience he’ll enjoy. While he’ll have a MUCH better understanding of what’s going on as compared to last time, we don’t anticipate it being much fun for anyone. You might also pray for Grandma and the girls, as they’ll be hanging out together while we’re at the hospital.
Thanks!
