It’s Official!
by Mike on Apr.02, 2009, under General
Well, today it finally happened. After being married for just over a year, I finally got to adopt Aiden and James. The legal system can drag its feet at times, but it can also REALLY MOVE when things are right. Such was the case today.
Hey there, Delilah!
by Mike on Feb.22, 2009, under General
Yesterday Johanna and I went out and bought a car. A beater. A 1995 Ford Windstar, to be exact. For a while I have been predicting that we wouldn’t last very long in the BMW with this many bodies to haul around…and waddayaknow, I was right on the money. But the concern was finding something that was affordable. Yesterday, someone posted an ad on KSL Classifieds, and we got the car for $750. Not bad, actually.
Oh, and the title of this post? Johanna suggested we name the car Delilah, and I was happy to oblige. So there you go – a nostalgiaic name for our newest car. Pictures soon to come.
Oh, and one more thing. If y’all could say a prayer that the beater keeps running, I would appreciate it. Johanna just mentioned Murphy’s Law and the new car in the same sentance…and I am now scared for it’s well being.
Home sick from Church
by Mike on Feb.01, 2009, under General
So today I am home from church, sick. This morning I could barely move or talk, and as the day has worn on I have been feeling a bit better, but bored out of my mind. So I decided to retouch some of the photos that we had taken in the fall, to get ready for printing. By retouch, I mean take Aiden’s eyes from one photo, James’ face from another, and piece together something where it looks like our kids know how to stand still for the smallest of moments.

Christmas List (Mike version)
by Mike on Nov.22, 2008, under General
Johanna and I have been telling each other that we need to find time to go Christmas shopping, but before we do that we need to put together Christmas lists of what we want. Normally I am not the type of person to put together a list, it makes me feel needy. But this time around, I thought we could turn this into something a little more fun. So I am posting my list online for all my friends and family to see.
