Ka-Ching!

This is a new program like Groupon and LivingSocial. The difference with SocialDish is that not only will you get great deals, but it has potential to earn you money, too. Click the logo or click here http://www.socialdish.com/s/KL1KId to check it out. Some guys from my church started it, so I trust it to be legit.  It's starting in the DFW metroplex this month but is going nation-wide next month.

Gettin' Our Spring-on

Zeke The Streak and his sidekick Crazy Daisy strike again!

This is what I immediately saw when I walked outside this morning.  Daisy quickly informed me she and Zeke had to take off their jammies and panties so they could play with the water.  How ya gonna make mud pies without water from the waterhose?

Any bets on how long until this little guy joins in the clothes-less fun?

Follow The Yellow Brick Road

Elijah enjoyed his first trip (of many) to Kansas this weekend! He was a total rock star on the drive. That's saying a lot because we spent a whole bunch of time on the road. He got to meet all kinds of family and even a few friends.

All that family stuff really tuckers a guy out.



  





Conquering Fears

Ezekiel has been wanting to crawl through some tunnels under the road by our house for probably 2 years now. I said there may be spiders and snakes in there and he would have to go with his father. They even started to once but it was too little for Daddy and Zekers was scared. [archived photo--circa2009]
This week he and Daisy decided to go to 'the inner world' on their own--several times. Seriously, way braver than me. Maybe a matter of ignorance is bliss?
This is Zeke's version of our adventure to God: (See previous post of how Zeke likes to sum up his day in prayer.) "I was brave to go through the tunnel today--even though there could have been venom spiders in there that could have killed me. But, NO! There wasn't any."

President's Day Summed Up

For those of you who are lucky enough to be off on President's Day, let me remind you why. Here is a run-down of part of Zeke's prayer last night: "Thanks for Washington and Lincoln Log Abraham. Washington freed the sleeves. I mean slaves. We learned that in school." OK, so maybe the details are a bit off; tomayto, tomahto.
On a different note, one sunny afternoon Daisy and I decided to let our babies get some fresh air. (I decided and Daisy followed.)
Baby Eli is one month old already! The Daniels Trio at the park. Elijah is never lacking in sibling love.

Snow Day!

They Grow Up Fast

I knew my big kids would seem so grown up once the baby came, but I'm not ready for this. Zekers was on his phone and I asked him who he was talking to. "My girlfriend," was the answer. I asked what her name was. He said he forgot and would have to call her back. After a successful phone call he told me her name was ShaNeesa and they had a date tonight. Then he said his other girlfriend was calling. Her name was Daphne. They both wanted to come over tonight. I said I hoped they didn't get into a cat fight. He informed me they didn't have cats, but they both had dogs. Not one to be left out, Daisy said her friends had dogs, too.

A few days later I was feeding Elijah and Zeke held a toy above his head, explaining it was like a light at a dance place; Eli could invite his baby girlfriends and dance with them.
