#1 Never expect things to be easy.

#2 Leaving Katelynn or Abigail alone invites disaster.

#3 Never give up, never surrender.

#4 Even though life is what you make of it,there is only so much you can do with finite resources.

#5 You are only as sick as you let yourself believe.

#6 Just because you can do something, does not mean you should agree to do it. (Jed's new work motto) :-)

I do beleive in Fairies

When we went to Disneyland to visit Tia & Richie my parents bought Katelynn an entire tinkerbell costume. Note the wand in her hand. At first I thought that her mother would not be able to keep the costume on her. I was mistaken when Katelynn left the costume on all night, and loved it. She even left fairy dust, glitter, behind her wherever she walked. I still have some on the floor of my house if anyone is interested.


Chalk one up to Carrie and her ingenuity, after we received Katelynn's costume she went about figuring out what we would be. Her dress was made by my mother to match the rest of us as Peter Pan, Wendy, and Tinker Bell. Do you think Peter Pan looks great with facial hair?

Katie gets enough hair to cut


Katie's grandmother noticed that her hair had grown enough that it was time for an "even me up" trim. I, her father, did not notice that it was not even. So we went to our favorite hairstylist for katie's first haircut. Do you think Katie looks happy about this?

Finally, Another Graduate in the House

I did it, despite a ton of problems, setbacks, and other issues preventing me from finishing I have finally finished with school. I had thought about this moment for so long, what I would feel, what I would do, how I would act. My first thought...Gee I should go back and get my masters degree. I must be an insane man, should I not be happy for a moment.

Thanks to Carrie, who basically sacrificed her world with me in order to let me get finished, and I would like to thank my parents for the time they let us hang out with them so Carrie and Kate would not be alone.
