Terrible blogger.

You know, I really thought this blogging stuff would be a whole lot easier. However, if you look at my last post and this one, you'll see that I don't do it nearly as much as I'd like. It's a shame, too, b/c there are some really great blogs that I love to read. Maybe I just feel like they do such a better at job at the whole blogging thing that I shouldn't even bother trying to be in the same league as them.

Alas, here I am again trying to get back onto the blogger bandwagon.

We've made some major changes in our life since the last posting here. We live in a different city; I serve at a different church; and our family is about to increase in size. A few changes, right?

One of the biggest changes has been the schedule that I keep at my new position. Ideally I'm in at 8 and out at 5. That means in an ideal world I leave the house at 7:40 (have to go through 1.5 school zones) and that I'll be home by 5:20 (driving right into the blinding sunlight). Realistically, neither of those happen frequently enough. Because of this I have to make every moment with Amelia and Erin count, and, frankly, sometimes that's tough.

Two great parts of the day, though, are most certainly getting Amelia up and putting Amelia down for bed. She's always SO happy in the morning time, and if she wakes up early enough she and I get to have breakfast together. At night I'll give her a bath, and then we'll hang out in her room while she plays and reads after getting ready for bed. When it's time to go to sleep, she'll crawl into my arms, we'll read a book, and then she'll go down.

I can't say enough how amazing fatherhood is. Watching this little person grow into a toddler has been so wonderful, and every day brings all kinds of great and wonderful surprises.
