Bundles of Love



I made an errand for my beautiful wife yesterday to Dollar General and was waiting in line behind a family of 4; a wife, two daughters, and a husband. The tone of the mother as she spoke to her small children was out of disgust or annoyance. The children were pointing out little things to their parents for CHRISTmas ideas and obviously the parents were not interested in what they had to say. This made me start wondering about how the children are treated at home and elsewhere if they can do this in front of 15 people standing in line. There are many children out there with parents that really don't realize the beauty of childhood, and all the questions that accompany this age. Children are so innocent. I don't care if they are step children, adopted, or even neighborhood kids that seem to find trouble. They are only as good as there parents or whomever raised them. They learn this from observing their loved ones. Don't blame tv or radio for everything. If you think about it who lets them watch the tv or play that vulgar cd? We do.
Now I'm not saying LeeAnn or I are perfect, or anybody else I know. We make mistakes and will continue to do so I'm sure. All I'm saying is love your children. Give them attention. I'm very tired when I get home from work. There is a lot to be done around the house that I must do as well, but I will get down and play with my son for a few minutes at least. LeeAnn will get on the floor and play with him and teach him new things. ( He can count to ten and knows many colors!!) LeeAnn is an amazing mother. She loves him so much and it makes me feel good just to sit back and watch them interact.
Time has gone by so fast. I remember telling my wife that I wanted him to be a little older because we have things we are going to do. But now I wish he was still very young so I could just hold him and rock him. I took the baby stages for granted. I can't wait to have more children. I thought I only wanted two total, but after watching Lukas I don't have a set number anymore. They are so precious and beautiful. I want to be a good father to all my children (when I do have more kids). I want them, along with my wife, to know that I love them so very much everyday. That I would do anything for them in this life that I can. With the ups and downs of life, it is very important that the people you have around you know how much they mean to you. Who wouldn't want to have a great big family filled with love? I mean they are simply little bundles of love.

A Fond Farewell

Image
As much as I enjoy writing and expressing my thoughts, I have decided to close this blog for the time being. Not that a lot of folks read it anyway... So, in the best interest of those who I love and those who love me I'm putting the computer away. I'm working so much on these stinkin things all day that I don't want to spend any more of my day on them. I'm deciding to use my time looking at my loved ones instead of looking at a computer screen. So a fond farewell for now. Be good, be kind, and show your love to everyone who crosses your path. Who knows when your moment will end here. Love, love, love, and no matter the bumps in your day cherish what you have one moment at a time... to be continued...

Just the Three of Us

I am in complete awe of my family. I recently found a junior high school workbook about my future goals and admirations. Within this book were questions about my priorities and what things meant the most to me at the current time and in the future. As I continued to scan this book the most consistent answer was taking care of my wife and kids when I grew up. The date in this book would put me at the young age of 14. I don't know why I would be concerned about a wife and some children at this age, but it brought a smile to my face knowing that I still feel that way 13 years later. Even more so now that I understand what it takes to take care of them. I did fail at becoming a professional athlete, but I think I have done much better than that now. I'm still in love with my wife since the days of admiring her in the hallways of our school. Although back then love to a school boy was more about lust and physical attractiveness and simply having the chance to court a hot c...

Friends

The friends I have around me are very very important in my life. Of course we all can categorize our friends in some way. You have the comedian, flirt, obsessive, cheap, serious, dull, scary-weird, the one who we always make fun of, among many other categories I'm sure you could entertain. But no matter what category you place them in you would do anything for them. I have been very lucky to have had a good core of friends around me since elementary school. They have become people that I rely on in many different situations and would go out of my way to help them as I would my own brother. I care so deeply about these people that I would give up my own dreams in life if I knew it would grant them one of theirs. I love them. I can't help to think about as we get older how our relationships will change. We all pretty much have families or have moved away and our link has weakened. We still have moments today where it has been just as it was, but those are moments now. G...
