Literally.

My son calls my dad 'Papa', and my mom 'B'. Papa I understand, but B? We don't really know where that came from, but I guess it works.

Thursday night my parents came over for a while to see the kids. Jordan and my dad were upstairs in the kids' room, and the rest of us were down in the living room. Jordan loves to watch movies and read books in his room. He has a DVD player and a VCR and he can only stop and start them for the most part. When I walked into the room I saw both of them hunched over the DVD player and TV. They looked awefully serious.

"You guys need some help?" I said.

"No hewp" Jordan replied...Of course he did. He is at the stage where he wants to do everything him self.

I didn't get an answer from my dad, he just looked puzzled. After watching him for a few more seconds he looked up at me and said, "I can't find my glasses, I know they are here somewhere." He had put them down at some point when he was tyring to hook up the DVD cords.

I immediately burst out into laughter! The sight of those two trying to fix a DVD player was funny enough, but my dad not finding his glasses...That was classic! Talk about the blind leading the blind. That boy's in trouble!

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.
