Reeling in the years

Yes, I did enjoy my birthday, thanks for asking. It was a simple day, which was exactly what I wanted. Woke up late with Anna making me breakfast in bed, toaster waffles in case you are wondering what a 9 year old would be safe making.

That was followed by quite a bit more lounging and [...]

Happy birthday Anna

Today was Anna’s 9th birthday. She is getting older and taller. I have taken to pushing down on her head daily and telling her to stop growing. I can’t believe she’s already nine. She is getting closer to the age when dad won’t be cool anymore. I dread that day, but know it is inevitable. [...]

Nothing to do with my surgery

Yes, I have a couple more posts to squeeze out of my hospital stay, no I don’t feel like writing them right now. I just wanted to pop in here and tell everyone that I had a great birthday Tuesday and to thank all the well wishers.

I love three day weekends

One three day weekend down and one to go. I have taken extra days for both these weekends for fun and education.

The education was a marriage retreat that Becky and I attended on Friday and Saturday. We worked our way through the Five Love Languages video series. It was actually quite a bit of [...]
