Get Well

If you’re not feeling well, Asher has a song for you.

This afternoon we were in the office and I was playing my guitar. He started to freestyle a song and I asked if he wanted to record it. So, I turned on garageband and got to work. It was pretty fun because I recorded the guitar track first and then gave him some headphones so he could record his track.

I don’t claim to be a musician, but he’s got some promise.

For those wondering (myself included) I think his inspiration came from either: me (I’m trying not to get sick, though I feel something a-brewin), his great-grandmother who is in the hospital, his grandmother who just had hip surgery, or his new favorite book, “Germs.” Whatever his muse, I feel better every time I hear it… hope you will too!

Snow Day

We had a lot of snow today. My friend lindsey agreed to switch off babysitting so we could each have some “childless christmas shopping”, so I snuck out early. However, I only went to one store before the heavens opened & i had to rush home. As it was, I did manage to skid through a red light (i promise i was not going faster than 20mph!)..thankfully it was not a crowded intersection & i did not cause any wrecks. I was thankful we still have not removed the florida tags on the van. Hope the people honking at me saw them.

I intended to use the “extra” time to do some chores & catch up on laundry before picking the kids up, but looking all that fresh snow & big fat flakes falling down…I figured we should take advantage of it before it got ugly (& it did get ugly). I think I lasted about 15-20min. before my toes threatened to leave my body (note to self: rain boots do not = snow boots). However, I realized that the kids could probably play w/o me in our new backyard. This was our first time ever being separated like this. Again, I intended to deal with that laundry…but as you can see….I did not. oh & yeah, sorry about it being almost 7min. long. I’m new at this.

Good Video

So, when I initially received the link to this video I thought, “great, another cheesy Christian video about something.”  8 minutes later I was still wiping tear off my face.

I truly love seeing the transforming power of Jesus.


 

Jenn, Oh No!

Jenn, see what happens when you stop playing the flute… the robots take over…

Drew, I know how you treat robots… I bet if you saw this guy playing on the street corner you wouldn’t even drop a quarter in his hat. Poor robot.
