Terrific Twos

Two years ago today my son Jordan was born. Tonight, we are set to party at Chucky Cheese. I think I am more excited than he is.

The past two years have went by so fast. When I really sit down and think about exactly how fast it's gone, and then start doing some math in my head (average life expectancy is 77.9 . I'm 23. Two years went by like two minutes. How fast are the rest going to go? Can I slow time down?) and as you can see I freak out. Not to go all Aerosmith on everyone, but I really don't want to miss a thing. I think I need to invest in a really nice digital camcorder, so even if I become old and lose my marbles I'll be able to watch what went on in hi-def.

Needless to say, my son is seriously amazing. I thank God every day that he came into my life. I'm going to post some pictures tomorrow of our night at Chucky Cheese. Stay tuned!

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
