Well this is it, the first post on our new blog. It became apparent to us that we are so loved and so popular that the only way to reach the needy masses of people that hung desperately on every twist and turn of our lives was to create a blog. That way we cantalk endlessly about ourselves (our favorite subject) and satisfy are fans. In all seriousness we found that loved ones where able to reach us through their blogs and it was a wonderful way to keep very close when life seems to pull us apart. At least thats the way it feels.

Let me first and foremost (unlike the Pope when adressing the U.N.) Thank the Lord Jesus Christ for...well...everything! This has been a year of ups and downs and it's only April. We have stayed very busy with Grayson in Tee Ball and Tanner in Little League (Tanner went 2 for 2 and had a great tag out at third on Monday Night). I have told people that it is sometimes hard to watch my kids play sports. Now I know it's all about fun and positive experience but darn it I am just so dang competitive. Pray for me. Tanner will be recieving his first communion on the 26th of April. My Brother Russ is engaged and will be getting married to his fiance Kelly in December of 2008. Grammy passed away and although Life goes on It still gets me like It was yesterday. I wrote a song that I sang at the funeral. It was a good way to say goodbye. We found out ITS A GIRL which is wonderful news but double edged. On the one hand we get what we where wishing for but as I have said before "be careful what you wish for...you just might get it." I recieved a phone call from Back East and will be sending some of my music there. The call was unexpected (It's amazing how God works). My expectations are low but I truly feel that God has a plan for it this time. Iwas telling my partner at work that we should start a band. Even if we only played one church service (wev'e been playing in Avenal at a local church when we work Sundays) and one seed was planted for God then it would be worth it.

Wendy is over the Gag at any smell stage of pregnancy. For a while I thought she was allergic to herself. Her Broom Hilda look has been shed and she glows with pregnancy. I always have said (she never believes me) that she is beautiful when she is pregnant. I thought he looked gorgeous the other night when we worked The casino night fundraiser at the school. But some Dumb *** Lady told her she must be having a girl because she had the Cava Fea which in Portugese lore means that your face becomes ugly during pregnancy with a girl because she is stealintg the mothers beauty. I guess the Portugese also have the Persona stupida idiota which is portugese lore for the dumb *** that actually tells a pregnant woman about that fable.
Portugese fairy tales aside, God has blessed us with another child and we can't wait for Sierra Bella! Yes Maryn Sierra Bella!
