another day at the office

jack has been really interested recently in going to work with me. when i leave for work in the mornings and afternoons he often says he's going to go to work, too. so i've been promising that if he really wants to go to work i would take him, but that he would have to get dressed up and bring his computer with him and really do some work.

so after a breakfast meeting yesterday morning, i picked him up at home and took him with me to my office. here is a picture of him next to 'his' parking spot.

i told him he could sit in daddy's chair for awhile and he really liked that idea. so i took a few pictures of him pretending to work.

he brought his 'computer' with him, in which he listened to dinosaur names and noises. he read books. he colored. he watched an educational video. he said hello to the senior pastor, the youth pastor and the secretary. he conned candy from some of them. he went to the bathroom. twice. he wrote on his face. and he got in trouble for jumping off the desk chairs. all in a day's work. as we were leaving he wanted his picture taken next to this bush thing that appears to be in bloom. it certainly didn't feel like spring yesterday, but i guess it is on its way...



the other day we drove by his babysitter's house and he told me that a'ndrea lives there. he said, "there's a'ndrea's house. she is my girlfriend. i like girls now. not when i was a baby, but i do now."
uh-oh.
this is going to be fun...
grace and peace,
greg.

he is going to be quite the stud :) and i think there might be an ounce of trouble in there as well :) my suggestion? if he is going to like girls already...teach how to do it right. you know, carry their books. shower them with sincere compliments. pull there hair. things like that :)but then again he is 3 yrs old....

Hey, that sounds like my job, too. My kids come to work with me everyday... they con me for candy and jump off anything that stands still long enough! They answer phones, too!

Anywho, that last picture is just too cute for words. love it!!!

And so it begins. By the way, he has always liked girls. Remember the "foot" episode? This should get interesting.

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day. 

happiness is dry underwear

we started potty training jack on thursday. we followed a program called POTTY TRAIN IN ONE DAY, which, by the way, i think is kind of crazy. i mean, if someone were to offer you a book called, "ACHIEVE WORLD PEACE IN ONE DAY" i don't think you would take it seriously. and yet here we are, trying to accomplish an equally daunting task in one 24-hour period. it is intense. the day is shrouded in a lie because as soon as your happily diapered child wakes up you tell him that it is a big party. we had balloons and streamers and noisemakers and silly string - all the trappings of a legitimate party. but it is most certainly not a party. it is a hellishly exhausting day. as soon as jack got out of bed, we gave him a present: an anatomically correct doll that wets himself. jack named him quincy. several times quincy successfully peed in the potty and even had an accident or two in his "big boy underwear." he also dropped a deuce that looked and smelled sus

the crucifixion of Robert Lewis

  "the crucifixion of Robert Lewis" mixed media collage with leaves, acrylic paint, and found objects by gregory a milinovich october 2023 this october i was invited to participate in a three day trip which was called a "pilgrimage of pain and hope."  while that may not sound super exciting to many of you, it actually really intrigued me.  i am the kind of person that wants to feel big feelings, and i am drawn to the deep places, so  i was interested in traveling to the scranton area, where the trip was planned, to see what it might look like to be a pilgrim that was wide-eyed and listening to the pain and the hope in the stories of others.   this trip included hearing the stories of immigrants to the northeastern pennsylvania area, and the work in the coal mines that many of them did.  it included hearing from folks who are working for housing justice and equity in downtown scranton.  it included hearing from those indigenous people who first inhabited that land.
