Day 0: Week with the Kids

Over the course of the next week, my wife is going to be on a mission trip out of the country.  I'll be supporting her by staying home and taking care of our wonderful children.  As a way to keep her updated on how we're doing (and to squelch her fears that I'll just let the kids run around wild, only eating candy, watching movies and staying up late), I've decided to blog about our adventure this week.


As you can tell by the title of this post, I'm writing this entry before she has gone on the trip.  This is partially so that she'll know about it before she leaves and be excited and partially so that I'll have sufficient motivation to see it through until the end.


I'll try to chronicle our days, giving a short summary of exciting events good or bad.  I'll even try to solicit input from the kids to make sure their voice is heard as well.  I'll keep a running tally significant things like number of snuggles, number of times I've heard 'Daddy?', or number of times I've heard 'Where's Mommy?'  I probably won't have too many pictures to post as the camera is going with Cathy, but I'll see what I can do.


I'll probably do most of the posting after hours, since while I've been writing this, I've been asked about 3 times by David if I'm done yet.  If anyone has any suggestions of fun low cost stuff to do, please leave a comment.  Wish me luck!

The challenge has been accepted

To my legions of followers world-wide (and at the time of this writing excluding my beloved wife), I've been challenged to write a new post on my blog. Challenge accepted.

However, with nothing sarcastic to say, this only leaves me with the normal everyday stuff that probably no one cares about. Like my continued pursuit to complete Call of Duty World at War on Veteran difficulty (I've only had the game for a year now) or trying to concentrate and get anything done at work with so many voices trying to tell me what is really important to do (for them anyway).

I have recently finished Kiss by my favorite author Ted Dekker. It wasn't bad, but it didn't have that surprising twisting ending that I've come to enjoy from Ted's other books. Now, I can't wait to read Green as I've really enjoyed the other books in the circle series.

Enough for now.
