updates

last night we had some friends over and we rocked out on guitar hero iii for a couple of hours. lots of fun, and i am feeling more like a rockstar everyday.

kylie and jackson are both well. jackson continues to talk more and more everyday and he is getting all kinds of teeth. his upper gums have bumps all over them, where the teeth are about to break through. it shouldn't be much longer and he will have a head full. it is about time!!

kylie is currently sitting behind me reading a book. she is the sweetest, but continues to test her boundaries with her mom and i. emily and i pray for patience but consistency with our discipline with her. we feel it is important she gets the same message from her parents. we also believe it is important to "keep your head" even when she seems to be pushing every button. kids need to respect authority and learn to listen and obey their parents b/c they are their parents. this may sound like a naive thought from a man with no kids, but i have two (with one on the way) and i still hold to this. i know she will NEVER do it perfectly, so there is lots of forgiveness involved. sounds like another relationship i am involved in.....
to pull this off with any regularity we need the holy spirit to intervene. and i am not kidding. we want our kids to know jesus is guiding us, even in our frustration and sometimes anger. pray for that!!

today we may take in a louisville cardinal baseball game, depends on the weather. may you have blessed weekend and feel the presence of god today!
