  • Weirdness Abounds

    Our poor kids.

    We are so weird.

    I'm hoping that N& N don't get too discombobulated from the fact that we live in two houses (one with a microwave, and one without), have two sets of friends, sleep weird hours, and drive in the middle of the night and/or morning...I'm HOPING that they just learn to be adaptable and flexible in any and all situations.

    At least...that's what I'm hoping.

    And please--don't get me wrong--I have no beef with our situation. In fact, I wouldn't trade it for the world. Somehow the fact that I am living in San Diego 5 days this week and in Burbank the other two AND that it is the opposite of what generally happens doesn't bother me in the slightest.  I'm having a wonderful, challenging, and fulfilling time doing what I'm doing, and I'm extremely grateful for it. Noah has been getting a little weird about going to the Nursery during our choir practices and such. I've been letting him sit in to watch our dress rehearsals (with a long list of conditions, of course...he has to sit in ONE chair and stay there, he has to be quiet the entire time, and so on...) and it's been OK. He just has recently starting balling his big Noah tears whenever we take him over there, so either he's learning the good ole "Cry-to-get-my-way" trick, or he's genuinely saddened by being apart from us all. I don't know yet which it is, but alas, I'm a sucker for my little one.

    There is a lot of stuff going on in the world right now--lots to talk about.
    An F-18 jet crashed into two houses in La Jolla yesterday, killing 3 people. The pilot ejected safely...
    Tribune-something-or-other (the company that is responsible for the L.A. Times and the New York Times, along with several other media outlets including KTLA Channel 5) filed for Bankruptcy today...and the "big three" car companies are still vying for a bailout from the government. And I haven't had any work as composer/arranger in Burbank for several weeks (except for one arrangement that I need to finish for a friend).
    These are wild times.
    I'm taking it one day at a time.

    And I'm sooooooooooo thankful for Midway.
    What a great place!

  • I love Big Noah Tears.

    Just wait... once Nathaniel starts getting older and starts getting invited to stuff on the weekends and wants to be around his Burbank friends, he'll rebel. Get ready.

  • I think it's cool what you guys do, because you do it together as a family.  You know how many people in your situation would just decide that dad should go do his thing and mom and the kids should stay home because it'd be easier and more convenient?  Kudos to you guys!  But I also pray that the Lord will make it clear to you as a family when to change your routine.

  • You guys are GREAT parents!!! I know the traveling is hard on you but the boys do get to sleep most of the trip right? You have a wonderful family and do things as such. I totaly agree with Klappyanne when she said that it is a good thing that Christy doesn't just stay home because it is easier. God will honor you for being faithful and you are setting a wonderful example for the boys about the importence of worship and commentment to the Lord. We are all praying for you and just know that we love your whole family and am truely greatful that you are willing to go threw all of that just to serve here with us. So not to worry about the boys to much because God holds them in the palm of His hand right along with you and Christy.

    P.S.  its me Val...it would not let me repy unless I signed in under a different name...?????

  • The above have said what I feel, so well....DITTO!!
