Funnies

This evening Gianna and I were talking about obesity and how one might become obese. I was rambling about various reasons that came to mind and I mentioned fast food. She interrupted to ask "What is fast food anyway?" I explained and then she said "Oh I thought it had something to do with fasting."

Aliou was flipping through the calendar and carefully studying each page. Finally he came to a blank white page at the end and asked me in all seriousness "Is this when we die?"

Athan told Aliou that he wished he was black. Aliou looked up from his play and suggested "Then go to Liberia!"

Never a dull moment.

Freezing Time

Can we please freeze time now?

But then I guess I said that when this guy.............

.......was the age of this girl.

Video. Testing 1, 2, 3.........

Here is my first attempt at adding some of our own video to the blog. Anna Mae (age 11) took this video of Clare's actual baptism from the front pew. Doesn't Clare look happy to be a child of God?

Baptism Day

SHE married HIM....!?

Some time back an internet ad caught Michael's attention. It read "SHE married HIM and they had eight kids?!" and it was inviting him to look up old highschool friends. Well I guess that was us in real life today at my 20 year class reunion.

We did meet in highschool and though we didn't date until my senior year I still like to think of us as highschool sweethearts. We'll be celebrating 15 years of joyous marriage on October 2nd.

By the way, Michael would like the above family picture to count as a Christmas photo (yes it can be painful to get everyone lined up and looking the same direction.) So if we don't get a good picture tomorrow after Clare's baptism then you can consider this blog entry our Christmas photo ;-) This one even has the van in the background.

Class of 88

Can you find me?
