Absolutely nothing to say! That's right. THere is absolutely no news in my life right now. I just feel guilty that I"ve not put anything up here in over a month. So I decided I'd add this blurb. BORING.



New website I'm the new managing editor for MISQE magazine. I dont' officially start my job until the fall. However, I"ve already been working on building a new website. You can look at the current version, then see my new one here . I should have it up for good within a couple of weeks.



Birthdays... My birthday is Wednesday (March 5). If you want to get me something, I recommend a gift certificate, or a new knife (I prefer the 10' version), or the Xbox Live enabled hockey game. Also, we're having a co-Party with my good friend Phil. His birthday is Friday. Feel free to send him your best wishes here.



Dissertation news Things are going pretty well there. I've made a lot of progress, but still have a ways to go. I'd like to get it to committe for proposal within the month. We'll see. There is still a lot of work to do.

New photos! You've got to see the photos Michelle took over the weekend. They are really terrific. You can find a link to them from the Photos link on the home page. Great job, Michelle!

Second monthly GFGT was a big success! I highly recommend the tequilla-marinated beef fajitas from my recipe section. Whoa, they are yummy! For added flaver, after 24 hours of marinading in the tequilla sauce, I cooked the beef on my George Foreman grill, then boiled the marinade. I added the beef, marinade, some soy sauce, and some "Fajita seasoning" to a ziploc bag. Tossed it all together for about an hour. Then dumped the meat into the frying pan with the onions and peppers. Y-U-M-M-Y!

Pray for my friend Rita and Mike. I just got an email this weekend and Rita went into early labor on Friday. I think she's about four months early, but it may be less. Keep them in your prayers as do I.

SUCCESS! My great friend, Phil got me a breadmaker as a post-Christmas gift (ain't that sweet!). He also gave me a family recipe for white bread. Well, it took SIX attempts with the same recipe, but FINALLY, I did it! I made a loaf of white bread that was TERRIFIC. I mean it was so stinking good. Michelle and I ate it right away. If you want the recipe, just email me.

Whoa... sorry for the delay. Things are going GREAT here. Check out the photo page for some great shots Michelle took this weekend of the kids.


Marcus is doing GREAT.. He's off of the monitor and all medications. Now he's just like a normal little boy, albeit the most handsome one I've seen in five years!


Michelle is recovered. She seems to be 100% as far as I can tell. She has lots of energy, enthusiasm, and feels great. We took Marcus to church for the first time yesterday. He really enjoyed it and did well.


Matthew is doing great. He is learning to read and doing great at pre-school. He is trying to read everything he sees. He's doing great. He is also doing very well at math. He loves to do long addition and subtraction problems. What a brainiac.


Madison still hasn't taken off the Cinderella dress she got for Christmas. She is so stinking cute. You've got to see the pictures Michelle took this weekend!


I'm back... That's right. Last week I worked ALL WEEK! It was the first time I've worked consecutive days since September 27th. It was terrific. I"m back to work on my dissertation and some other research. It is so stinking fun to be back at work. Not that I didn't love my time with the kids, but I really missed being here too.



I'll keep you posted of other news later.

Going well... Michelle and Marcus continue to do well. They've been home for over a month now and we took a trip to see family in Maryland for the holidays. I officially return to work today. How exciting. Check out the photo links page for all the photos of our holidays.
