A December at home

J wanted a "mohawk" for his hair cut today. The sides aren't shaved too closely, but he loved the way it looked! It is winter, after all!


I'm sure the effect will be further enhanced tomorrow when my wife spikes the middle portion. Hopefully he'll be OK with another wee trim before heading back to school next month!


Z got some gloves as a Christmas gift from church. As you can see, he loves them. Maybe he loves them a little too much ...

I hope this holiday season finds you well and among people who love you. I'll have more family photos to post before ramping up my client work next month. I'm also renewing my efforts for full-time work, which will make life busier and more interesting, I'm sure!

Merry Christmas!

My Z turns 3

My wife made an awesome "monster truck" cake for our youngest son's 3rd birthday.


It's so fun to watch kids open up their presents. Z was thrilled about everything he was given.


This is a helmet/race car game thing. He loves wearing hats, so it was a no-brainer!


Here's our little rascal in my sister's car trying to escape.

We are hoping that both our boys will continue to look forward to December as a special month, because of their birthdays (Z's on Dec. 11 and J's on Dec. 26) and realizing God's gift of Jesus that is celebrated at Christmastime. Easier said than done, as for now they are focused on the receiving rather than the giving. But we'll work on that later.

What a weekend!

So busy lately, I'm actually looking forward to the coming week (even Monday).

On a sad note, a personal blog that I'd had for a long time has been deemed an "attack site" (actually, just the host). Guess that means it will be easy to quit using the site altogether. Simplifying is good.

Stay on the sunny side, but this made me chuckle
