Life just gets too busy.
Remember those days when you would roll out of bed and go watch cartoons on a Saturday morning? When you would stay up late and watch movies with friends and then sleep in till noon? When you would play all day and be completly exhausted at night? Oh, those days...
Life gets busy. It was something I knew would happen. It didn't sneak up on me one day out of the blue. It just happened. It's not even that it just got busy. It's been busy for many years! But, for some reason I feel even busier today.
It seems that a never ending collection of events is taking place. When I feel like I am on top of one thing, another pops up. It isn't that I can't handle the things life has thrown at me. I think I just want life to slow down.
Isaac is almost two and a half. WOW! One day he was being born, the next he is saying, "Bye Daddy. You going to teach the kids?" It just seems that he was rolling on the floor and now he's rolling down the street on his scooter. If we sneeze, he's the first person to say "Bless you, Mommy, or Bless you, Daddy!" He even blesses himself! :) He no longer hesitantly walks to the chuch nursery--he runs!
Caleb is four months old. He seems like he skipped the baby-baby stage altogether. He rolls around the floor and is sitting in his exersaucer way sooner than Isaac did. I can only imagine the next few months ahead.
Danae seems to get busier by the day. Mom at all hours of the day and night, wife, cook, maid, Jr. High Youth group leader, worship cordinator at church, violin lesson teacher, entertainer...I can hardly keep up with her schedule. If it wasn't for her organizational skills, I would be lost (and hungry and probably naked!).
And then me. Teaching, being Dad and husband, being an "I should probably do more around the house man." And then I go and add being the assistant varsity girls basketball coach.
I know God created each day to be 24 hours. Sometimes I wish it was longer.

Life is good. God is good!
So, I have officially joined the world of blogging. I guess you can call me a rookie blogger. I have absolutely no clue what I am doing, or what I will write about. I suppose everyone has to start someplace...
Life is good. God is good!
It's hard to believe that it is almost the end of September. School is rolling along. This year is my 10th year of teaching at Calvin Christian School in Escondido, CA. Can you believe that 10 years has passed? I would have lost a lot of money if I would have bet you that I would still be out here in CA. But, life is good out here in CA, and God is definitely good!
Living in Escondido rocks. Temecula was (and still is) a wonderful city to live in. It had everything that you needed and then some. But, the drive to Escondido was wearing. The days of 30 minute commutes have now become a 2 minute drive or 5 minute walk. I am waiting for the credit card company to call complaining that we are not spending enough! Life is good. God is good!
We love our house. It has a few things that we want to change/upgrade, but nothing that is pressing. Being right across the street from the swimming pool rocks. Isaac loves the water. He asks to swim whenever he catches a glimpse of the pool. It took a few days for him to get comfortable, but now he gets right in. During our last heat wave of above 100 degree temps, we used the pool everyday. It didn't save the AC from running, but it was a great way to get out of the house and still be cool. Life is good.
We are adjusting to the new lifestyle of two kids. Isaac is a great big brother! He loves Caleb! He is constantly asking "Where's Caleb?" or "Caleb sleeping?" or "Watch, Caleb! Watch!" He has his moments where he needs his time with Mom or Dad. Caleb is quite the little fellow! He has his own personality already and is definitely more vocal than Isaac was. I still have my moments where I wonder how I could have such a wonderful family. God is good!
It's time to end... Life is GOOD! God is GOOD!
