Three straight Daddy Days

This is the third Saturday in a row that Jenn has worked and that means three Saturdays in a row that I've spent with Lincoln in the morning hours. It's been pretty crazy to see how each Saturday has been a little bit different as Lincoln's grown and his attention span and tastes have morphed. This morning we played on the Exersaucer, I had him laughing for a while, and we read the first part of Mary Poppins from Jenn's old Disney books. As I've mentioned previously, he's loving those stories.  After he wakes up from his nap and eats, we're going shopping!  Lincoln loves to go to the store.

Yesterday I posted a video of Lincoln eating his cereal, and the video quality wasn't that great. I've boosted the quality (it's still not exactly Hi-Def, but it is an improvement) and if you haven't seen it yet, you'll have to check it out.

[If you've followed this blog from the beginning, you know that Jenn and I avoid getting too political here. I've got a space for that over at XEKE.com where you can go if you'd like to read my (our) social and political thoughts.  You can choose to go there or to avoid it.  This space is reserved for family news for our extended family and friends.  However, Jenn and I are quite convicted about the upcoming election, and the piece of information that absolutely sealed it for us can be found here.  Say what you want about the source of the web page, but the information on it cannot be denied.  It's more than a single issue, it's a world view.  As for politics and our blog, we'll leave it at this.]

A new website has been added to the favorites here.  Last night I received a friend request from Matt Powers, an old friend from high school.  Matt and his wife Emily were friends of mine at CVCA, and while we haven't kept up with each other in many years, I'll always remember them calling me at Lipscomb from Cedarville on weekend nights (Emily had free segments on her calling card) during our first semester of our freshman year.  TRES wasn't yet in full swing, and keeping up with friends was at a premium.  Matt and Emily got married after that semester (I was in their wedding!), and life went on for all of us, but I'm appreciative of that friendship to this day.

We're going over to Grandma Paulette & Grandpa Doug's house this evening and Jenn is making some kind of stuffed chicken dish.  We're all looking forward to it, and to the OSU/Wisconsin game after dinner.  Will OSU lay another egg on national television?  Or will this be Terrell Pryor's real break-out game?

Lincoln's up... I've got to go.
