It was bound to happen sooner or later. For the first real time in the history of this household, a round of sickness is washing throughout the entire family. Joshua started the madness last week Wednesday, and it seems as though he tried to close the circle last night with another round.
The youngest two have [...]

We hail Thee as our Savior, Lord,
Our refuge and our great reward;
Without Thy grace we waste away
Like flow’rs that wither and decay.
How oddly appropriate given that Hannah was recently baptized, and I think also that I needed to hear these words recently for some reason.
Thank you, Henry.

I have two other, much more mundane posts in the draft hopper that are going to be posted later today when I get the time to do so, but both video games and my stuff breaking seemed at least a bit trivial in the wake of this afternoon’s slight scare that I’m not too worried [...]

For those not in the know, Amanda and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary this past Thursday the 18th.
We used up two days to celebrate, wihch is something we try to do with anything that’s a big deal in our lives in order to stretch it out and not make it feel as fleeting. On [...]

Amanda just received a phone call from our house builder, and we are meeting the construction manager next week to discuss the home site and go through any questions we might have.
This means they will be doing things like pouring concrete and other cool things like that very, very soon.
Weather permitting, we could be in [...]

The title is fitting as we have recently (and by recently, I mean last Saturday) signed a contract and placed a deposit to build us a new house. This would be an old topic if it were not for the fact that Amanda and I look at each other approximately a dozen times per [...]

Amanda e-mailed me earlier this afternoon to share with me the following:
ha ha ha….just so you know, we have one superman, and one supergal, complete with capes…
This, of course, demands a phone call to follow up on the situation. I discover from the eyewitness at the scene (their mother) that they are standing up [...]

Work is good.
It’s not exactly what I thought it would be based on the job description, but i would say that no one should take that as a bad thing. It’s definitely more work than I thought it was going to be at first blush, but keeping me busy is usually something that people need [...]

About that job I’ve been talking about?
Yeah, I got it.
Tuesday, 20 December, 2005 – 01:05
Well, I’ve certainly had my intuition challenged with this job I’ve been interviewing for.
The second interview, as I mentioned before, was all right - not the best I could have offered, but that was mostly determined by the subject material and my ability to defend myself in front of two complete strangers.
So I called in [...]

Every man should make it his mission in life to have a little daughter.
My little girl just came over to me as I was completing my previous entry, and my mood has lightened considerably. She seems to have a knack for that; coming to give me that little hug or to be smiling and [...]

Well, I didn’t just come back from the hospital, but have indeed been there a few times so far this afternoon and now finally have the time to sit down and make sure that people who should know do know.
Caleb Isaac was born this afternoon (I was so excited and unbalanced that I don’t remember [...]

Just a quickie to let people know what’s going on.
I know I haven’t said anything in quite some time, so I figured there might be one or two people who had wondered if I had disappeared or anything more serious.
I didn’t get the job with the International Center, which was a big time bummer, but [...]

I did have a job interview last Thursday at the International Center of the LC-MS, and I personally thought it went quite well.
At the moment, I’m simply waiting for a response. I have been told that they have other candidates coming in this week to interview for the same position, and that I can [...]

…however, it seems they had some kind of a hardware failure and they’re currently trying to recover from it, so I can’t look at any of my pictures, nor can I upload new ones, nor can I go ahead and pay for a charter membership.
Too bad.
I suppose I’m just going to have to study for [...]
Wednesday, 16 February, 2005 – 23:14
And I am so busy playing with my 40GB iPod that I haven’t had the time to do much else other than study and get homework done.
So, I will get back to this after Friday is over and the last paper has been completed and turned in.
That is all.

So last night, Ken and I decided that we were going to hit up a book signing by who is probably our own personal culinary hero between the two of us: Alton Brown.
Actually, I can’t claim that as much as Ken can, since when I first got my DirecTV set up and was throwing down [...]

Everywhere I look around campus, there are people who are in shirts-and-ties, and they’re doing so for a very specific reason, and it’s something that has started to nag at me and reach me in my winter doldrums.
They’re dressing up for their interviews.
Everyone that I identify with is receiving their assignment in May, except for [...]

We are in class right now watching materials on counseling women who’ve been through abortions, and right now all I want to do is go home and hug my little boy and girl and that’s it.
But I have to be gone all day long, and won’t even see my son awake today.
Bah.

The sun just came out for the first time in at least half a week.
I’m not sure if I want to go outside - I don’t know what might happen to me.
Thursday, 4 November, 2004 – 11:54
…but I’m currently so swamped with projects that I’m unsure as to when I’m going to find the time.
