I have been away from the blogsphere for a little while now, and honestly it has been hard to get back in. Maybe my life has been boring lately and I haven’t had much to write about. Or maybe I’ve just been too busy. Either way it doesn’t sound good to be busy being boring. I am fighting the urge to crawl into my shell, so I’ll share some random items that will so not enhance your day:

• I’m coaching Elijah’s 4 -5 year-old soccer team. I’m sure you have heard the term ‘herding cats’. Well this is more like herding professional wrestlers. When one falls down they all go down on top of each other.

• Kyra turns 13 in a month. That’s right a teenager. She is beautiful and I love her… A belated apology to my Mom and Dad.

• Anna is two and she is as disobedient as she is beautiful. What a deadly combination.

• Nolan, Elijah and I went to our first Monster Truck show. We are officially white-trash, and who really cares if you are driving a 1,500 hp truck.

• MH|Shoreline is getting ready to kick off our first evening services this fall, which is pretty exciting.

• Andrea has now run a 5k and a 10k this summer. It is not uncommon for me to hear comments like “How did a guy like that ever get a girl like that.”, or “He must have a lot of money”.

• I found out I need hearing aides, but they cost an arm and a leg. So I just nod my head a lot and agree with people.

I hope to write more as fall comes and our family gets more into a regular schedule. As if you didn’t read enough useless info in a day.
