Posts about my family

Nice

Breckenridge

We had a nice time in Breckenridge this past weekend. It was where my wife wanted to go.  We left Abe with one of the sets of grandparents and enjoyed a peaceful, relaxing time.  We both really missed Abe and it was good to get back.

The Breckenridge area is quite beautiful and the weather was great.  Highs were in the 60s or 70s and lows were in the 40s.  We spent some time walking on trails in the mountains and my wife spent a surprisingly small amount of money.

We visited the Barney Ford Museum and the Country Boy Mine and both were very interesting.  We also saw a play at the Backstage Theater.  It had probably been years since I sat through an entire production as audience member.

I've added a link on the sidebar to pictures .

I am blessed

I have always struggled with what I believe.  I don't know and continue to ask questions.

I have found things within religion, spirituality, and faith that I know I believe to be true and good and beautiful and right.  I have also found things within these by which I cannot abide.

I know I have a beautiful son and a wonderful wife.  I know I have a family that loves me and a circle of friends who are talented and kind.

Because of these things I feel truly blessed. 

Welcome Tynan

Tynan Joshua

My new nephew, Tynan Joshua, was born yesterday at approximately 11:30 CDT.  He weighed 8lbs 10ozs and has more hair than I do.

We went to visit them in the hospital last night and everyone is doing very well.  I think Abe really enjoyed meeting his new cousin.

Another one on the way

Babyat10weeks
 
The doctor confirmed today that my wife is 10 weeks along.  On the way back from the clinic Abe said, "I heard the baby's heartbeat!"  The tentative due date is set for November 23, 2006.  One day after my niece's birthday.
 
We are very excited and were happy to hear the heartbeat.  Neither of us were expecting a sonogram so that was an added bonus.
