Wii Messages - Updated

Why would you want to send emails from your video game system? As the only woman living with three techies, I now know the answer is obviously "Because you can". While I continue to be stumped by the vast array of new technology that seems to have no practical value, I am very blessed by this quirky innovation. The following are the emails that my sweet 8 year old Danny sent to me from the playroom.

1. Hi mom!I love you!
2. Cars im gonna win.
3. I love you and want icecreum.
4. I love you alet so here's a kiss.
5. I love you too much.Jast

Things We are Going to Do When the Kids Are Grown

Brad and I have a running joke about the fabulous things we want to do when the kids are grown and college is paid for. I think it's important to write these down in case I have no brain cells left to remember them. We may need a few years of rest first, but then we will:

1. Go to Hawaii
2. Cruise the Mediterranean
3. Live in the Caribbean
3. Learn to Sail (maybe in Hawaii or the Mediterranean or the Caribbean?)

More to come as we add to the list. We have a LOT of years left to add to it. And sometimes we all need something to look forward to.

Really Great Things About Geoff for His 14th Birthday

It is hard to make a list about your child. I don't want him to think that these are the only things I love about him. It might not even be the things I admire the most. This is just a random, non exhaustive list of some really great things about Geoff in honor of his 14th birthday that was last month.

1. He's tall. Don't you love that in a guy?
2. He is honestly a computer genius. Need a network? A website built? Software installed/uninstalled/updated? Video editted? Powerpoint/Sunday Plus/Easy worship slideshow built? An A-V system designed and set up? Just call Geoff. Check out the London Bridge Baptist Church student website, new on the Hot Links. Yep. Geoff's in charge of that. He's threatened to edit this post if he doesn't like it and he could do it.
3. He's taking school seriously, even Algebra 2 and Spanish. Whoo Hoo!
4. He is very understanding about his brother. Face it, Dan has issues.
5. He is a cheerful helper. He can get Danny off the bus and babysit. He really pitches in when I can't be home.
6. Those eyes are an amazing color! I think they are hazel, but there is a lot going on in them. O.K. I guess that one would embarass him.
7. He can have a conversation with an adult and use real words and eye contact. I love that!
8. People always have nice things to say about him.
9. He's a lot like his dad. Generous with his talents. Confident of his own opinion. Size 13 shoes.
