Mixed in with all the gut-wrenching emotions that come with losing your job (and now hunting for a new one), there are still some wonderful moments. I’ve had a few those recently, so I thought it only right to discuss them as well.
First was finding out that the van breaking down was due to a simple bad hose. “That’s a wonderful moment?” you ask. When you’ve spent the prior 24 hours mulling over the other MUCH more expensive alternative things that could have been wrong, you bet it is!!!
Second was this past Sunday when I got to spend the afternoon with my four kids and a bunch of other friends playing some softball at the local high school. My kids have just discovered baseball this year (through videogames of course) and they just love it. They play in the backyard, just the four of them (or at times 2 or 3 of them) for hours on end. So they really enjoyed the outing. Here are a few images to enjoy…
Third is the fact that I’ve become a great-uncle twice over in the past eight months or so, the second just arriving. On the slightly down side to that is the fact that I’m feeling a bit old because of it. I mean I feel like I just got married and the two new mothers were two of our little flower girls!
Here’s Kennadie…
And here’s Autumn…
Last are our beach trips. We love going to the beach in the evenings so the kids can swim and then we watch the sunset. Randi wasn’t with this time, but we got a spare kid in the trade to play with Hailee…
That’s all, good night…
