i love creating opportunities to have our girls help us in this MPD* journey.
a little later than we’d like, but we’re finally getting our Christmas cards out today. here’s a video of the girls helping us stuff envelopes this morning.

i saw this today. and i consider myself pretty “connected” to the social media scene. but there’s still a lot i haven’t been a part of, or simply don’t “get”.
and then i started thinking how i’ve kinda been neglecting my social media “skillz” because of how busy we are with MPD* and family. and then i started to wonder, “can we really afford to let our social media presence take a back burner if it’s turning out to be such an important aspect of the culture we live in?”
what are people saying about YOU?

this is pretty much the scene a couple times a week when i’m leaving for work. but this morning it was especially hard to go since i’ll be leaving for 10 days.
we’re heading out to New Staff Training with Campus Crusade for Christ in Orlando, Fl. just like with our trip to Little Rock this past june we’ve been waiting and anticipating for this week for a long time.
we’re so excited about what God is about to do, for all we’re going to learn, and the new friends we’ll be making.
and we also know that people have invested in us and are looking forward to hearing great things from us.
here we go!
Recording a video seems to be easier for me than sitting down and eloquently typing my thoughts; it is quicker, too. So, here is my first installment of “Wednesday’s Wisdom for Parents.” Have a great day!
what the video doesn’t show is that the reason anna’s tooth was loose in the first place was because dad knocked her in the face the other day with a fan when i was moving it. (accidently of course.)
that was last saturday, and on sunday she was thanking me for hitting her with the fan. she’s excited to lose a tooth. although excited that she was excited, i didn’t say i was glad that i accidently knocked her in the face with a fan.
in our recent podcast (itunes link) we stated that divorce sucks, on the other end of the spectrum; weddings ROCK! i came across the video below via @youcanknowgod on twitter (great twitter name btw).
i love the fact that this couple took the time to be so fun, creative and original to begin their wedding. but more importantly to begin their marriage. my prayer for them is that they would continue to put that much time, effort, creativity and fun in their marriage in the days, months, and years to come. in fact this video even made me cry because i was so overwhelmed with joy for them.
