Bathtime Fun

Ben loves spikey hair! I bought him gel and got his hair cut pretty short, but it is so thick and heavy as soon as it dries it falls back to normal. SO now spikey hairdos are great for after baths. Will discovered Ben's hair will do this look if you brush it straight back.

This is a lot of fun and just thought I would share! Merry Christmas!

A Dream Come True!!!!

I am currently in Indiana, home for Christmas and having a great vacation relaxing. My sister and her husband are also here from Maryland and it's nice to see them again too. While Ben was taking his nap yesterday afternoon we were playing dominos and my mom happened to mention that my brother Spencer was bound to be home soon because his girlfriend had tickets to go see Celine Dion in concert that night. My sister and I are both huge Celine fans! My sister exclaimed "WHAT??!!! She's in town??" So we got online and there were still tickets available so three hours later we drove downtown and got FLOOR seats (thank you to my family's generosity for my ticket) As my dad put it It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to go. I can count the number of concerts I have been to on one hand, and if I could only go to one it would be Celine Dion. The fact that it was a surprise and spontaneous decision to go added to the excitement. Our seats were awesome, the concert was AWESOME!!! She sang for 90 minutes with 2 encores. The song selection was a wonderful mix of songs from her new CD Taking Chances and old favorites as well. She had at least 6 costume changes, the stage was awesome, everything moved (the center, the band). I'm still on a high 12 hours later, I had really good dreams last night!! (Oh yeah, both of our husbands were glad that they got out of going as our dates)

Here we are.

When I first joined this little blogger community (that almost sounds derogatory) I never imagined I would trip over or be tripped over by so many old friends. Now that I have discovered that I am being randomly discovered or, rediscovered as the case may be, I think I need to include a quick note as to what is status quo in my life.

I have recently finished my Masters degree in Mental health Counseling, and am currently working for Healthy Families Counseling and Support, a non profit counseling agency in the greater Kansas City area. I am married to Stephanie, a gorgeous blond (of course the adjective seems superfluous, as I have never met a blond who is not gorgeous) who is an excellent pianist and teaches piano, as well as often performing as the church organist. Which is a calling that seems to follow her no matter where we go. We have a mischievous (like his dad) four-year-old boy whom we have named Benjamin.

For the next month to a year you will be able to find most of this little entry on the side bar thingy.

My New Calling

My new calling was announced in Sacrament meeting. I am the new ward organist :) I've had the past 2 years off so I don't mind. And since Priesthood and Relief Society was combined today the Bishop asked me to play the piano for the opening hymn. By the end of church I was approached by 3 different families regarding piano lessons so I guess the word is out now. It will be nice to teach out of my home again.
As a side note we got our first dusting of snow overnight. Ben was crying about it though because there was not enough to build a snowman or snowballs.

Happy Birthday William!

Happy 31st Birthday Will! We love you lots!! Benjamin was so excited that he wouldn't let Daddy sleep in much this morning :) He has the day off from work to relax and enjoy.
