Photo’s w/Sophie and Graden

All these photos were taken by our daughter Erica who was there for the entire birth process.  I’m so proud of her as she has become quite the photographer and even under the pressure of babies being born, she still took some great shots.

My Prayer

Thank you God for two beautiful babies.  Thank you for all their fingers and toes and thank you for their smiles (even though I think it is brought on by gas).  Thank you God for the way Graden opens one eye to make sure Dad is still holding him and thank you for the way [...]

Where Did We Mess Up?

This afternoon a 14-year-old 9th grader was shot in the head outside of the Biology classroom by a fellow 9th grade student.  Click HERE for NEWS LINK.

My Dad

Erica got in the car last week and told me and her mom that she must be prettier than last year. Jill asked, “Why do you say that?” Erica responded that she had already had 2 boys ask her out! I said, “What!” Kinda halfway joking but not really. She said, don’t worry I told [...]

The Dance

Erica went to her first school dance last night. It was at Grissiom High School and she changed her mind about 6 times before she finally decided to go. She rushed to get ready and then I took her with a stop by the grocery store so that we could get her some money. It [...]
