    Ruby's Birthday Video

    posted by mike on February 1st, 2008

    For anyone who doesn't get to go to Ruby's birthday party today, this is the video that we made for her. It's quite long (~18:00), and it was made with Windows Movie Maker. Although it has its obvious bad points, I'm actually quite impressed with the program. Enjoy!

    Ruby's First Birthday Party

    posted by lindsay on February 3rd, 2008

    Yesterday, we celebrated Ruby's first year of life. When trying to decide who to invite to the celebration, we realized that there were literally a couple of hundred people who have touched Ruby's life (and our life!!) in the past year. Since we couldn't fit that many people in Zach and Sarah's house, we tried to limit the number of people as best as we could. The number of people who wanted to celebrate with us was absolutely overwhelming, and we ended up changing the location to the church. We maxed out the bonus room, and many people enjoyed the day with us.

    Rock Band

    posted by mike on February 5th, 2008

    This is video from Christmas that I forgot to put up. Kyle is rocking out on guitar, while Lindsay tries to sing a song that she doesn't know and Kayce Swofford bangs away on the drums. It's pretty good stuff.

    Mitt's Out! Go Huck!!!

    posted by lindsay on February 7th, 2008

    I believe that Mike Huckabee is a man in whom we can trust.  I do believe that he is trying his best to live a life that is a positive witness for Jesus Christ.  I'm impressed with him in many ways, and I'm praying that we see a political miracle this year.  God can do great things.  We've seen it in our own life, and we've seen it in this country.

    The Never-Ending Chore

    posted by lindsay on February 12th, 2008

    Seriously! Only three people live in this house, I swear! However, laundry seems to materialize out of thin air!!! After tonight, I should be completely caught up, aside from the actual clothes that are on the backs of my husband, my daughter, and myself. Just watch, though...tomorrow afternoon, there will twelve loads waiting for me to get started washing, drying, folding, and putting away.

    Okay, maybe that's a slight exageration, but it just seems like it never ends.

    No more Vonage

    posted by mike on February 22nd, 2008
    After about an hour on the phone with Vonage support, I have cancelled our service.  So, our home phone number no longer works.  This is just a small way for us to cut back on monthly bills, now that Lindsay is not working.  If you need our cell phone numbers, please let us know.

    Update - Very Random and Hodge Podge! :)

    posted by lindsay on February 29th, 2008

    Well, here it goes: You are forewarned!

    Being home with Ruby during the day has been such an amazing blessing. I have lost track of how many times Mike has said: "Eating at home is so much better than eating out." or "This is so much better." or something of that nature. It truly is such an incredible difference. Our house stays clean and organized. Dinner is on the table every night. Ruby stays on a consistent schedule, and I am able to spend some very good time with her.
