What a day

We had a great Christmas. Clark was so great on Christmas day. He thanked everyone without ever being asked. When he opened a Candy Land board game from his great aunt he said, "WOW, this is wonderful." We were laughing all day over that. I also have some cute pictures of him with his new astronaut costume. He looks great.

Charlotte was easy going as well. She stayed up late and wasn't too bad the next day. Her favorite gift is her new teether giraffe named Sophie. She is from France and Charlotte absolutely loves her. Apparently, this specific teether is very popular in France and boy do we know why.

Today I build Clark's new Playmobil hospital that Ya Ya and Gandy bought him for Christmas. Man did it take some time. It's really cool. You can see the small details in the photos I've uploaded. I didn't see anywhere on the box where it says "This box contains 1,500 teeny tiny pieces". Now that its done Clark is having a ton of fun with it. We have a Playmobil family that we put into precarious situations then go rescue them. They either get airlifted or picked up via ambulance (also a Christmas gift).

More news to come.

I am sitting here on...

Christmas Eve

Well...it's Christmas Eve and I'm at work. I used most of my vacation days when Charlotte was born. Kinda stinks now but I wouldn't change getting the time off with her. Anyway, it's beautiful outside and I can't wait to leave. We are very excited to experience Christmas with Clark and Charlotte tomorrow. We have been talking about Jesus with Clark in the hopes that he may at least associate the holiday with a bigger cause than gifts. However, at 3 1/2 it just may not happen. Plus, I can't wait to play with some of his toys with him myself. Oh the holidays.

She loves U2

Charlotte loves to watch and listen to music, specifically U2. Here she is this morning watching a U2 DVD with Clark and me.

Merry Christmas.

VOTE!!

I just updated the poll so get over there and VOTE!

I'm laughing out loud

It's midnight on Friday night. I'm in our study (no idea why it's called that since that has never happened in here and probably never will) which is right next to Clark's room. I can hear my little buddy in there snoring like he's a forty-year-old man with sleep apnea. I can hear him in the living room sometimes. NO lie. He snores that loud. It's the most funny thing to hear this little sweet 3 and a half year old (tomorrow) boy making sounds like a lion on the Serengeti.

Clark

Yesterday morning Clark was getting dressed and I said, "Clark you are so handsome." He replied, "Dad, would you say I rock?" After laughing I said, "Why yes son you do rock."

It doesn't get any better than that.

Well...

Does anyone read this blog?

Christmas is coming

I'm proud of my beautiful wife. She has been working this evening on baking Christmas gifts for our neighbors. She made them cinnamon rolls FROM SCRATCH. Man this house smells good too! Whew. I haven't been able to have one yet but I am dying to get my paws on one or three!

I took some pictures for you to see. Too bad you can't smell what I am smelling. WOW.

Clark

Clark woke me up yesterday saying...and I quote...

"Dad, yellow is the new khaki."

Clark's video D E B U T

Click here to go to Freeville.net and watch Clark's first concert video. A video has been posted of him from his choir program last month. He is an awesome singer! We'll you can't really hear him because there are so many other kids, but he sure looks like he's having fun.

Enjoy.

Power!

We are back home. We now have power again. We were without power for only about 30 hours. It was not too bad. But, we are now back in business. The trees all around us are crushed and ruined. We also have some trees in our back yard that are pretty messed up. But, that's a pretty small price to pay in an ice storm. We are grateful for this damage and nothing more. God is good.

The new U23D Website

This is my brothers U2 movie website. The movie opens in January. Jason was one of two editors on the movie and the trailer so be sure to watch it. It's really fantastic.

Words of wisdom

When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if it's not, mmmmmmm, boy.

Lastly...

...When you're riding in a time machine way far into the future, don't stick your elbow out the window, or it'll turn into a fossil.

Downtown In December

This picture was taken on the Friday after Thanksgiving. We were at The Oklahoman Christmas Tree lighting in Bricktown. It was cold but a ton of fun. Clark got to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas.

How sweet is my precious wife? How cute is my son Clark? How darling is my daughter? Man am I the luckiest person alive? If you ever hear me complain about my family you have my permission to slug me. How could I ever feel even the slightest bit ungrateful for all of them? God has given me so many blessings sometimes I feel undeserving. My true hope this holiday is that each of you can experience the joy and pleasure of a happy healthy family. God has given that to me and man is it nice.

Political Comments

This video shows why I like Mitt Romney. Plus, I love his work on the 2002 Olympics. I know he seems "slick". But I think Mitt is the real deal. I think his family is the most important thing in his life. Since family is what is most important in my life we have something in common. Go Mitt!
