Snowfall & all

Last night I was scooping snow and J decided to come out and join me. For the first minute or two he followed the paths I was scooping, but soon realized that making his own footprints were much more fun. How profound...and how scary. We made our first snowman of the year together and headed inside for some hot chocolate.



I realize that I've almost completely lost touch of innocence. Nights like last night that make me think I can learn to remember, but nights like Saturday night (see pictures below) make me question that theory. Some days(nights) I don't even know who I am. I've spent 7 years in a cloud and I'm not quite sure which road to take. Or do I have to choose? Can a person turn around or is it a one way street? Yikes.


Maybe it's the new baby boy on the way. Maybe it's the weather. Either way somethings gotta give. Maybe that thing is me.

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.
