Up to Summer Speed

Let's do some catch up on everything, well everything fun anyway. We saw birds.
I learned orioles like grape jelly out of oranges that are nailed down. I did some fun projects with my dad.

We saw the Burtons at the Lake:

I had a road trip with my mom. We went to the zoo and saw frogs. Wesaid goodbye to the Alexanders.

Alec hit a double but was only allowed to go to first. The Shaws showed their team spirit.

We got to do some fun stuff for VBS.

My wife got even hotter.

So it’s been awhile since I’ve posted and my Achilles is about 95% and I’m busy busy busy.
I’ve had a couple of Russian weddings this year so far and I’ve got to tell you, it’s like going on a total culture emersion vacation for eight hours or so. Really cheap way to see some overseas society.
What else…we had a men’s retreat at Rock Village Court for our church, Brookline Church of Christ and I think everybody thought it went good, even though Josh Moore didn’t get his fish as promised.
I find myself thinking more and more about Skyline chili-dogs and the joy found therein.










Uh, Spring is here.


Our dog is lazy which is good.
Everybody on my Mom’s side of the family is sick or in the hospital or something awful (Hi Aunt Linda!!!). That’s not good.
My kids can dance like nobody’s business. That’s very good.

I guess that’s all for today.

A bit out of sorts

Some days, everything seems a little off. At least the satelite tv works.

Saltillo, Mexico

Ahhhh, Saltillo! We couldn't have had better weather or nicer people to be with. Wonderful sights, smells, tastes, and lots of laughter. Pretty sweet trip! If you want to see the whole shebang click here.

Expo Show

By the way, the Wedding Expo show went great. I recieved a wonderful response and the day went by super-fast. Here's a couple of Erin's snapshots of the booth space. It was longer than we anticipated but we didn't complain.

Back to the farm

I met up with Richard and Marshall and Marsh's dad Jim in Arkansas over the weekend. It's still pretty much like it was last year. Take a look. Anyway, it was awesome and it was great to see my boys. Marsh has two dogs, Jay-dog and Chilli-dog and we saw about 20 turkey 9 deer and 2 armadillos. So….that’s it in a nutshell for now.
Oh wait, there’s more, on Sunday we went to a Cowboy Church. That’s what the sign said and everything. They’re building a new building with an arena in it and they were talking about how one of their big expenses was the dirt but that it was the “best dirt in Arkansas!” and was well worth it. Being the non-rodeo kinda fella that I am I just sat their trying to figure the logic of an arena (I was picturing the Metrodome) and fancy dirt (I was thinking they were needing it for parking lot). Anyway, the people were extremely warm and friendly and I thought it was a cool church.
Uh…the end.


Do you see Orion?

Welcome Miss Coco Limerick

Well here she is, Miss Coco Limerick, I think she's gonna go by the name Coco Chanel. She just doesn't look much like a Limmie or a Rick to me. Everybody's happy except our cats but they are not as upset as we thought they would be. I think they'll all be buddies soon.
