Thanks!

That attempt did not work so well. I am posting from my cellular telephone to my blog and we’re going to see how it works. This is a test post. I look forward to its conclusion and to its accuracy.

i think i’ve pretty well decided that i like to blog about once every 2 months or so, that’s a good pace for me. what can i say, i’m a “blogger”

hard to keep up with the likes of my wife and all these other soccer/photo moms.

anyways, so tommy had his first day of school today, nutty nutty stuff. he was so tired that he had a major meltdown this afternoon, but we managed to recover. he’ll do great though and jayne got some fun pics from day 1, again see her blog.

i’m tired, goin to bed, but look for more soon…. maybe…

- Need to take my shop vac up on my roof to try and extricate a dead bird from our vent so our toilet drains and doesn’t bubble.

- The Narnia Lamp is done for, met a sad demise in an unfortunate accident.

so it’s been a while since the last post. my usual, write in spurts behavior.

our anniversary trip to British Columbia was awesome, great skiing, smooth travels, great food and above all, wonderful company. it really was refreshing to celebrate 10 years with my wonderful wife, who teaches me so much, challenges me with her big heart and keeps me connected to challenge to live the Kingdom right where we are.

so i’ve been pretty preoccupied over the past weeks getting ready for our Leadership Training Program out at Carolina Beach, NC this summer. our family will be out there for the startup of it all, which will be fun. it will be great to get to know some of the v-tech staff team and enjoy the beach with our kids and the crew that’s out there.

lots going through my brain of late, some of which i hope to get up here soon.

in some quick news:
- we had a recent scare with my dad and cancer, but he’s a-ok and all is looking good for him and the future, so that’s a relief.
- tommy is playing soccer which is fun, you can check out jayne’s blog for pics.
- we’re in finals week here, so things are winding down. great semester, always so good to look back on what the Lord has done over the past school year.
- i’m heading to Philly this weekend to help a friend load up a truck and move his family, should be a good trip.
- i’m re-motivated for our bathroom (thanks Nick) and hope to get that thing finished up this summer, but we’ve got a long ways to go.

welp the big white adventure was a success. we had a great time: great snow, great condo, great food, great company.

when it was all said and done we were ready to get home and especially to see our kiddos.

we’ve actually been back for a while, but i’ve been my normal self, irregularly posting stuff. at any rate jayne had a karaoke birthday party the other night which i’m sure she’ll be writing about soon. it was tons of fun and we had lots of great food.

more to come soon enough…

so when you’re so unbelievably cool as to own an iphone (they’ve sold like 10 bizillion of em, so there’s at least that many cool folks out there) you can do hip stuff like this. i’m excited to post some pics from the beautiful mountains of Big White where we’ll be skiing from time to time, so if you care, feel free to refresh my flickr feed from time to time to see what kind of fun is going on out there. jayne has a fun little project up her sleeve while we’re out there too, which should be cool.

have a good one!

i tell her all the time that we don’t have any pics of her b/c she’s always taking the pics…
well here she is, kinda, but it’s a fun pic nonetheless

and more…
