Watching the children grow up

Hello,

Here is a little more inspiration for you…

My Son, who was apparently born two months old because of his size. (At least that's what his clothes said on the tags.) is growing bigger and bigger. My youngest daughter is very adorable, and has thankfully lost interest long ago in her old hobby of holding something in her hands and coming up to you with the sweetest little adorable look and then whacking you between the eyes with it. I think it may have developed out of not being the little baby anymore and wanting more attention. I am not sure but it was so cute (before she whacked you). I received two black eyes from that hobby of hers but I sure loved her and I still do. (I didn’t really have black eyes but after the blues clues motorized stuffed animal whack I was surprised that I didn’t.) The real funny part of it is that there was no warning whatsoever. "Oh, hello my little sweet girl. Is that blue..." WHACK!

My oldest daughter is sure growing up fast. The other day she noted, "Daddy you have whiskers coming out of your nose like Tigger." I guess I am getting closer to the age of longer nose hair at that.

I hope that you have a wonderful day!

Sincerely,

Happiness is…

Hello,

Here is a little more inspiration for you…

I believe that happiness is the feeling that you are doing good in life. I hope that all of us can be happy. I used to think that I would be happy in life based upon a shortage of difficulties. I have realized that I must be happy in life based upon how I react to difficulties. I believe that everything in life can be hard and difficult and at the same time we can be happy inside. Sometimes people are mean to us and we think it is the way they treat us that makes us unhappy. Sometimes it is the way we react to those situations because of pride and anger that really is the thing that makes us unhappy. Let’s all do our best to do good in life so that we can be happy. I hope that you feel good inside as much as possible. Have a good day if possible and know that I do care about you! I want all of you to succeed in the challenges of life and have a good feeling as much as possible. In other words I really do love you all very much!

Work for the night is coming, Work thru the morning hours.
Work while the dew is sparkling, Work mid the springing flowers.
Work while the day grows brighter, Under the glowing sun.
Work, for the night is coming, When man's work all is done.

Work, for the night is coming, Work thru the sunny noon.
Fill brightest hours with labor, Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying minute, Something to keep in store.
Work, for the night is coming, When all man's work is o'er.

I hope that you have a wonderful day!

Funny Stories

Hello,

Here is a little more inspiration for you…

My wife and I were talking together when I noticed that my oldest daughter was missing part of her left eyebrow. "How did that happen?" I asked my wife. "Someone came to visit today and their little boy cut part of her eyebrow off with a pair of scissors." "How in the world did he do that?" I asked. My daughter answered in a very serious tone, "Vewy Cawfuwy."

I think that it is funny that My wife’s Sister used to baby-sit my siblings and I. (One time she stayed at our house and took care of us for an entire week.) Everyone in my wife’s family loves to joke me whenever the subject arises that her sister used to change my diapers. (Her sister did say, however, that I was too old at the time.)

The other day we were all sitting around the dinning room table. I said to my wife, "You have such beautiful eyes." "Thank you very much." replied my wife. We smiled at each other and then when I looked at my oldest daughter she opened her eyes wider, smiled and cocked her head to one side. My wife and I immediately knew what she wanted and we both grinned as I said, "and you have beautiful eyes too."

I hope that you have a wonderful day!

Funny and great Children

Hello,

Here is a little more inspiration for you…

I was sitting in the family room one morning and one of my children came up to me and said, "Do you want to see yourself?" My child then held up a little hand-held mirror. The mirror was not aimed at me but rather at a picture of me on the wall behind me. This picture was taken a long time ago (a few months after the creation of the world when I was 20 lbs lighter) I smiled and said, "Wow, I look good!"

I'm glad that I was able to celebrate a birthday and I would not mind looking like I did in that picture when I was full of strength and energy.

I hope that you have a wonderful day!

I love my wonderful Wife

Hello,

Here is a little more inspiration for you…

I decided to give track and field a try my senior year. I first met my future wife at a track meet. I tried to impress her with my jumping skills and she remembers not being very impressed. Both my sweetheart and I did the very best from our High School in the High Jump Event and my sweetheart almost broke a State record. I watched her jumping and was silently cheering her on long after all of her competitors and most of the people watching the event had left the field. (this was because the higher up she went after everyone else had finished, the more people didn't want to stay and watch my sweetheart jump so much higher than their daughter or teammates.) I was very, very impressed and watched her until after her final jump. Each time she was jumping toward the end my heart leaped as well. My sweetheart went on to do the high jump at a University and so she was both a College and a High School track star. I was always so intimidated by her! (I don't think I even had the confidence to go up to her after her final jump to congratulate her. I always thought that she was way out of my league.) I have always had a high opinion of my sweetheart and now my opinion of her is even higher after almost eight wonderful years of marriage. I really, really love my wonderful wife!

I hope that you have a wonderful day!
