A Superhero, Sad Clown and Puppy

Here’s a cute picture I dug up that’s worthy of a Saturday post. Chloe and Emily love it when I draw on their faces. This particular afternoon Emily wanted to be a superhero (although she kinda looks like she’s got HUGE glasses on) and Chloe wanted to be a puppy. When I asked them what [...]

Funny Cialis / Viagra ads

I’ve been getting the Cialis/Viagra emails in my inbox for a while now. I begun to think they’re one of the steps on the checklist to set up an Internet connection.
Cable modem set up? Check.
Wireless router? Check.
Email account? Check.
Viagra spam emails? Check.
Welcome to the Internet.

Anyway, these particular ads I’ve been getting really crack me up. [...]

Who Wouldn’t Want To Live In A House Like This?

Ever since I was little I’ve loved treehouses. My dad surprised my brother and I one summer by building us the most AMAZING treehouse while we were at camp. It was a good 25 feet in the air and had all the essentials: ladder, fort walls and a door at the top to lock out [...]

You’re So Vain, You Probably Think This Post Is About You

Well, actually it is.
I’ve gotten quite a few new subscribers in recent weeks which is awesome but I’m starting to feel lost. So many awesome people I haven’t met yet! If I could, I’d slap a name tag on you to help me remember who you are. Hey, that’s not a bad idea!

Please take a [...]

You Know You’re A Good Dad When…

[singlepic=44,320,240,,right]
As I was looking through pictures of me and my Dad to use for today’s post I came across this picture of him and my daughter Emily.  I started to think about how my relationship with my Dad has changed in the last few years.
I’ve always known him as the kind of Dad who is [...]

“Change Is Life” Wallpaper

Honestly, when I started working on this wallpaper this morning I didn’t even think about today being Friday the 13th. I wasn’t trying to be creepy! But this great quote by Leonard Sweet is a great reminder that change is an essential part of both our physical and spiritual lives. We need it to thrive [...]

God Will Take Care of You

I was listening to random music in my iTunes library and this song came up. I really needed to hear this today. It’s an old hymn made new by one of my favorite artists, Plumb. Hopefully this will encourage you as much as it did me. (flash player below for RSS readers)

God Will Take Care [...]

Pardon Me While I Vent (again)

I had another post written and ready to go this morning but it’s going to have to wait. I need to vent again.
As you know we’re having a rather difficult time trying to get our mortgage stuff together. Because I’m self-employed we’ve had to jump through quite a few hoops to prove that I’m a [...]
