Halloween Videos



We got some family pictures taken of the Sharps for their mom's 50th birthday this month. We hauled everyone off to the park on a beautiful fall day.The pictures turned out great. Have a look! A big thanks to April Montague for taking these amazing pictures.
We took the kids to the Binder Park Zoo Boo last week before Halloween. It was such a cool thing! The zoo doesn't have a lot of animals out, but they decorate like crazy. There's a hayride and a trick-or-treat trail too.
By the way...Breslin is a FROG PRINCE, not a weird alien king or anything like that. I made his costume and I realize that it may not be obvious what it is just by looking at it. We went to the Zoo Boo with another couple with a little boy Breslin's age who was a cowboy. The people at the zoo kept saying, "(looking at Gavin) Awwww, look at the cute cowboy! ...(then looking at Breslin)Oh, he's cute too! (with a confused look on their faces)..."


Breslin didn't seem to mind at all that there weren't a lot of animals out at the zoo. He would have been okay with just the peacocks...but are the peacocks okay with him?

Day 162 -- "Showing Us the Way"

Image
One of my favorite things about the spring is the baccalaureate celebration that takes place the week before graduation.  I love the chance to see my seniors in their caps and gowns and to praise God for their arrival to the finish line.  For every year since I can remember, I've listened to Western's Select Choir perform the song "Showing Us the Way" by Michael V. Ficocelli.  When I was a senior, I even got to sing it at my own baccalaureate.  That year, and every year since I have taught at Western, I get choked up listening to the perfectly fitting lyrics of this song.  Tonight, on a perfect evening at the Cascades Falls, tears ran down my face as I watched the seniors I taught sing the words of this song to their classmates, parents, teachers, and friends.  I smiled and cried a little more as I realized that someday there's a good chance I'll be watching my own kids sing it at their baccalaureate. I had to share it with you.  This isn't Western's

Giving birth to my daughter was a series of events I will never forget. On Tuesday evening, Colby and I went out to dinner. At some point in the evening, I told Colby that I thought we should head to the hospital. Given my history of delievering babies in a startingly short amount of time, I thought we should go to the hospital sooner rather than later (labors for both Breslin and Dharia were only 4 hours each). When we got there, I was discouraged to find that I wasn't very far along in the labor process, but they decided not to send us home based on said history. It turns out this was a very good thing. 20 minutes after being told that we could be there for a while, I was in the jacuzzi tub when I realized that the baby was coming RIGHT NOW. Long story short, I gave birth to my daughter in the bathroom of my hospital room. Even though it was somewhat horrifying, I find myself wanting to relive the details of her birth over and over again. I never want to forget the feeling of wel

We Dance...and We Sing...When We Play the Drum!

Let it be known that my son gets his money's worth out of his toys. Or, in this case, someone else's money's worth. Whatever. You know what I mean. The toys that he likes, he really, really likes. He uses them a lot for a long time. This particular toy is a drum that was given to him by our friends, The Tappans, at his FIRST birthday party. Needless to say, tonight he was REALLY enjoying his gift.
