We went to the free beach. There sure were a lot of people there. We came home and had a BBQ. Chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs and Kristina brought over a stuffed onion. Oh, that was so good. Then we shot off fire works. Austin fired one right into Kalli and that was it for her. She watched many of them from the portch. Then we went down to the river. We got a great spot - behind the water treatment plant. Then I did my favorite thing: get home really fast through all the traffic.

Christmas Story
It was a warm time at my Mom's last night. We started by enjoying a meal of ham and roast beef. Of course my sister in law brought her famous raisin cream pie. (My favorite) Then we went to my brother's church. Small church of about 30 people. Janine, my sister in law is great on the flute and did a special. The lights were turned off and we enjoyed the candle light service. The Pastor had an unforgettable sermon. He spoke about a King wanting to win the hand of a maiden. He took off his Kingly robes and became a simple servant in a small village. Over time the maiden fell in love with him, then he revealed his true title. Jesus laid down His titles to draw us in love with Himself.
Then back to my Mom's to open gifts. There were close to 20 of us. It was a wonderful time.
I'd love to hear your Christmas Story.

Santa Claus
We went to a Christmas party yesterday. Kalli, my kindergartener, had to investage this person - Santa Claus. First he said that Rudolf was on the roof. So guess where Kalli went? She came in and informed us that in fact Rudolf was not on the roof. To which Mrs Claus told her that he was on the other side of the roof. No, said Kalli because she checked the entire roof. More investation would have to be conducted and the perfect time would be when Santa left. Although I tried to interest Kalli in the movie that was playing, she was on a mission. She informed me that Rudolf definetly was not on the roof and she also showed me the vehicle that Santa got in. Later that night, with Santa still on her mind she asked: "Daddy, is Santa real?" She could of asked me where babies came from and I may have been more comfortable. I told her that Santa was fun, just like Whoville was fun and Llama Llama was fun. I told her not to tell her classmates, but I suspect that will be a converstion she will have to have with her teacher today.

tautology tau·tol·o·gi Noun
Unnecessary repetition of an idea, especially in different words, 2. In logic, a compound statement that is always true, irrespective of the value of its components.
In the OJ trial a statement was made: "The weapon is in Chicago or somewhere else." Using tautology you can really mess with someones head - which on certain occasions I like to do. -lol It appears this is a tactic of lawyers.

My Dad died when I was 10 and not too many days go by that I don't think of him. I suspect if he was alive today, he'd be working in a gas station as a mechanic. I remember the 1st Christmas we spent without him. (He died in Oct). Surprisingly I have very warm feelings of that Christmas season because my Mom was determined to make it a great time. May this Christmas season be a season of family warmth.

Thanksgiving 1980
The weather was a perfect nice 70 degrees. But I wasn't outside, I was inside the YMCA. The weather was cold and the ones I loved was at my Mom's house. We were separated. I knew no one at the "Y" in person but knew them all because we were in the same situation. Navy guys unable to go home for Thanksgiving. I had my ten dollar roll of quarters and waited in anticipation to make my call. I and Kim talked for one hour. That is the only hour I remember that day. But it was an hour that even now brings tears to my eyes. I don't know what we talked about but I remember that phone call like it was yesterday. Even the silence at the end was so precious, not wanting to end our conversation. Not wanting to be separated on a day when family's are together. I would not trade that memory, for today is more special because of that day so many years ago.

Kids do the craziest things
I spoke to a Foster Parent group last night. (I loved it!) It brought back some memories of past experiences with foster kids. One of our foster/adopted kids was traveling with me in the van. We were coming back from visiting extended family. She was about 14 or 15 at the time and was sitting in the passenger seat of the van. (Whenever we go we have to take 2 vans and my wife was driving the van behind us with the rest of the kids.) I wasn't paying attention to what she was doing, until it occurred to me, holding a piece of paper on the window for a long time wasn't normal. I said, "let me see what you've written on that paper." She turned it around and it said, "HELP ME." Talk about going into panic. I can laugh now but I didn't then.
What's the goofiest thing your kids did, or you did.

Spy
Here's a conversation between Kim & I
I call Kim: "AD is on the move, headed to PayLess shoes"
After a few minutes Kim calls me: "She's not in Location"
I text AD asking for location and get a message back, "Dad, I found a T-shirt that says, "If you knew my mother you would understand"
I text AD again and ask where she's at.
After a few minutes I get the reply from AD, "JC Penny's"
I call Kim and tell her JC Penny's
I get a call back from Kim, "Little bird has been spotted."
A successful spy operation accomplished. We really need GPS systems.

Kalli is very ornery. She loves to hide the remote, take my chair or anything she can do to keep me off guard. -(But I love the attention.) Every night she has to have books read to her. Right now she’s studying the word, “the” and we have to stop and look for that word in all her stories
