jack's 4th birthday, part 2

this sunday was not only the superbowl, but also part 2 of jackson's birthday party, complete with a second shark cake made by shannon. here are a couple views of the cake itself.



we let jack put the candles into the shark cake, and this is where they ended up.


and the shark cake itself was red, as in bloody, and here you can see the birthday boy digging in. it is so great to be able to celebrate the big days in your children's lives with family who loves you. we are blessed indeed.

What an awesome cake! Love where he chose to put those candles...a 4-yr. old's mind is certainly an amazing thing!

Seriously, though, it bears repeating...what mad skills you wife possesses in making such an awesome cake.

and i'm back...because i keep seeing you threaten your friendships with those who don't own terrible towels and even though we aren't bff's or anything...i just want you to know that i do have a terrible towel...actually that should be plural, towels.

i don't want to get kicked off the blog.

Our "baby" girl is going to be 3 this Sunday (02/08). She wants an applesauce cake with her picture on it. I have no idea what that means. Uh, what's it going to be like at 4?

ask shannon if she can make us a shark cake with a cross and flame coming out of it, or wait, how about jonah sticking halfway out the mouth with blood and stuff - for our 170th birthday celebration, of course!!! that would rock the congregation and seal shannon's place in our hearts for generations to come.

by the way, your kids are 2 cute!!!

julid (yes, i'm back now that all the squealers blather seems to be mostly over for now)

i'm giving away the swamp

so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...

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.

affirmed

i cannot express today the feeling i have. this picture that i found sort of expresses it but not really. for the last ten years i have poured myself into this vocation, daring to believe that God, the very God of all creation, has called me, even me, to this work. along the way many have affirmed me in this journey, but i have continued to work for the ultimate affirmation, ordination as an elder in the united methodist church. and now i have it. after two grueling (and i mean grueling in every possible sense, really) days i recieved the call today that the board voted to recommend me to the annual conference for ordination as an elder. and as i have already said, i cannot even begin to express the emotion i feel with words like relief, joy and satisfaction. there will be plenty of time for me to reflect on this and i will have more to say about it as i do that reflecting, but today is really a day for celebrating for me, and for thanking those who have journeyed with me and s...
