Faith Night
Tonight my oldest son, Calvin, and I attended Faith Night and listened to Hawk Nelson . The event was put on by Third Coast Sports and was held at Fox Cities Stadium, home of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers . The concert was great and very entertaining, but Timber Rattlers lost. Calvin enjoyed himself and got to spend some time with dad, which I really enjoyed.
Home Fireworks of 2007
Bruce , can you please report in on how the GDFP is this year? I do believe that we missed the New Years Eve report also.
This year in Wisconsin the economy must be doing well again. As you can tell the board has expanded a little from last year . 
A Bike Rack
Here are some pictures of the bike rack that I made for my kids bikes. When you have 6 or 7 bikes allways laying in the garage it is time to do something. Not bad for under $20, using some existing wood that I had. If I would have purchased all the wood I am sure it would have been less than $30. Hopefully soon I will make some time to describe how we designed the bike racks. 
Welcome Nathan Christopher
Congratulations to some close friends on the birth of there first son. Nathan Christopher was born on January 11th, 2007 at 10:27 PM. My wife and I would find Nathan 'premature' since our kids come into the world as toddlers. Nathan was 6lb, 14oz, 19.5 inches long with lots of hair.
Congrats Brandon & Allison
Josh's first broken bone
Tonight we had to bring Joshua to the emergency room to get his shoulder checked out. It ended up to be just a broken collar bone. After 2.5 hours of waiting we got an X-ray and a figure 8 brace and a bill of a couple hundred dollars. We are back home and Josh is doing well. Thank you God for creating a body that can heal itself.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAD
Here is a birthday cake that I recieved from our very close friends. This is par for the course for Linda, because I have seen a few of her creative cakes over the years. What makes this even more impressive is she makes the time for this while still home schooling 5 children between 5 and 6. Yes, between 5 and 6, they have quads!!!! Thanks Linda. 
Happy 8th, again
Happy 8th Birthday Ezra Neil
Wow, my second oldest son is now 8 years old, wow time flies by for the second time . Ezra, you are truly a blessing.
I love you, Dad
We won!!
We bid on a 2003 Chevrolet 2500 Express van last week and we won!!! What is nice about this van is it is not white. So it is the little things sometimes. With a new baby we were considering upgrading our van but this just fell into place. It is having a snow ball affect though. I now have to sell my 2000 Chevrolet 2500 truck with only 30,000 miles on it. We also need to raise our garage door, currently it is at 6"10' and the van is over 7" tall.
