HOOK 'EM LONGHORNS!

I know you've all been waiting anxiously to find out the team name of Micah's pee-wee soccer team. The Longhorns it is. Enter my long list of questions before the season starts next Saturday:

• Should Micah wear #10 to be like The Texas Longhorns' Vince Young?
• Will George W come flashing the hook 'em horns sign?
• Will Matthew Mcconaughey come to the games and distract all the soccer moms?
• Will we get a 2000 pound mascot from some run down farm in Goochland!?
• Could I last 8 seconds on that bad boy?
• Do we get to choose jersey numbers? This is a huge deal in my family. No son of mine will ever wear lame numbers like 6, 13, 14, 17, 19, 26, 31, or the dreaded #1.
• Does every kid get a trophy? If so, I have a ton of worldview teaching to prepare for.
• Most importantly, how do I explain to Micah the concept of TIES in a sporting event? "Well Micah, ya see...sports are not about winning or losing. So we do neither. What's really important is that you score dad some of those orange slices and fruit roll ups. Run along, hook 'em Longhorn!"

This is gonna be great! I am tempted to rent a minivan just for the season! -Ed

Winter Wonderland!

This is what we woke up to today!


Here are some pictures from yesterday:A picture of our snowman, his name is Frosty:
Back at it again! Hopefully, we can take Caleb out later today!

Yay! Snow!

It's snowing and it is for real snow! It is truly a miracle! It never ever snows in Richmond. Ed is out with Micah right now in the middle of it to sled because who knows how long it will be here. Usually the sun comes out in an hour and melts it all away. But I think this is for real! I will definitely post pictures soon. Micah looks so cute in his redneck outfit. He doesn't have any snow boots or pants or socks or gloves or anything. So we just bundled him up with whatever we could find. At least he has a good coat and hat!
