I linked to this video in a comment on Jenn’s last post but she’s right, it needs its own piece of real estate.

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008Three-year-old Theology
Monday, April 14th, 2008Parts of a conversation with S3 last night while cuddling and putting off bedtime:
Jenn: What can you tell me about Jesus?
S3: Jesus will grow up and be a singer
Jenn: Jesus is already grown up.
S3: God can come to the concert. (thoughtful pause) I like Jesus.
A moment later…
S3: I like you the best and Dad the best and my girls the best!
Jenn: Did you know God loves Sam the best, and Mommy the best, and Daddy the best, and Ty (his friend) the best? God loves everyone the best!
S3: (very excited) God loves Ty the best??? Yes!!! (best said like Tiger Woods) That makes me happy!
Jenn: Tell me more about Jesus.
S3: He had a nose…and hair…and a body.
Jenn: What happened to Jesus?
S3: He died.
Jenn: Did he stay dead?
S3: No. He’s alive!…And he rode on a donkey.
Welcome to Parenthood 101 … You Suck!
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008Well, it has been quite an eventful 4+ days / nights for us. On Saturday, our son (our first child) was born. Labor was long and intensive for Reon, but we made it through and everyone has been doing well, for the most part.
I have way too many thoughts to write concerning the whole labor / delivery thing. WOW! Amazing, scary, exhausting, miraculous are all words that come to mind. However, this post is dedicated to the after birth phase…coming home for the first time as new parents.
So I was thinking, laughing and crying yesterday morning after our first night at home…an all-nighter due to feeding issues (which we are working through and are getting better). I was telling Reon that I’ve never felt about as incompetent as I did trying to get our crying son to sleep at 3:30 am when Reon is exhausted due to several nights of missed sleep and 14 hours of labor. Thus…this is where the name of the post came from. I realized how funny this whole learning process is and just how incompetent I am in trying to care for this infant who can’t speak my language.
I decided we are taking a course called ‘Welcome to Parenthood 101′ and that the first lesson was entitled ‘You Suck!’. I hope it comes across as funny, b/c I mean it as such. Nothing like a little 6 pound baby to make a grown man feel worthless. 
However, I realize in the midst of this is God’s grace. We are cared for. He gives us the ability to raise his children and makes them resistent enough to handle our blunders.
Overall, we are doing well. Mom is getting some sleep today, so that makes Dad feel better. BTW, I’m not feeling down on myself, so I hope this post comes across with the smile it should have. I’m amazed at God’s plan for his creation and only desire your prayers as we continue to work our way through this course entitled ‘Welcome to Parenthood 101′.
Anyone care to tell me what the second lesson is??? 
In Honor of “Lenny’s” Upcoming Arrival
Friday, March 7th, 2008I saw this over at Joe’s place a couple of weeks ago and have been waiting for just the right time to post it here. I’m thinking that jlove and reon are already pretty keen on the whole parenting thing (at least more so than many first-time parents), but these tips are just too funny to pass up.
Evidently there’s a whole book, but you can find most of the rest of the tips here.
Beware of those “spunky chaps”
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008I’m sure there of gads of women out there who wish they could have seen this before they “settled”. I’ll definitely be showing it to my daughters on their 21st.

The Man-Hug
Thursday, August 9th, 2007And now for something completely different… Even though I’m fairly introverted, I’ve always been comfortable giving hugs to other guys. The only iffy part has been knowing for sure that a hug was an appropriate response at the given time. Once that question was answered it was smooth sailing. So for those guys like me or even those who get clammy at the mere thought of the “man hug” I give you this instructional video. I’m sure it will be an educational experience.

Pachelbel is following you…
Wednesday, January 17th, 2007Ok, so this is WAY different than our normal dialogue, but it is just too hilarious not to share. So, after much debate, I have decided to post it.
No great significance here, just a funny video. I will warn you…about the last 20 seconds he throws in a few choice words. I don’t want to offend anyone, so just a friendly warning. Enjoy!
Funniest Thing I’ve Seen In a While…
Wednesday, December 6th, 2006I was catching up on some long overdue blogtime and came across a link to a site called Dadlabs.com on katiekind’s site. Oh. My. Gosh. I laughed out loud at some of their stuff. Especially this video in which they take on the Thirty Second Breast Pump Challenge. If you click around a little you’ll see that they have a humorous take on some issues that are sometimes taken a little too seriously. Thanks, katiekind for a great giggle!
