The Tech-Generation

So today Amy asks me what I want for Father's Day, to which I reply, "Oh not much, just a little TLC."

To which she asks, "Is that an app or something?"

No Amy, there's not an app for that!

Anyway

It is not very often that I just post something for me but last week while I was watching American Idol (yes, I watch American Idol) one of the contestants sang Martina McBride's song Anyway. It really struck a chord with me for some reason. I have been thinking about it ever since and tonight I decided to see if I could find it on youtube. I have sat here listening to it over and over, crying. One of those good cries. I think my favorite part is the chorus:

God is great, but sometimes life ain't good.
And when I pray, it doesn't always turn out like I think it should;
but, I do it anyway.

like father, like son

Yesterday when Matt was trying to run out the door he told Todd he couldn't go with him outside because, "I am late, I got to go." Later that day I was trying to get Todd to give me back the checkbook and he refused. I started to count to allow him time to obey and while I was counting he said, "But Mom, I am late. I gotta go."

This morning Todd was already up when Matt was getting into the shower. I came walking down the hall to see my son down on the floor doing what appeared to be push ups. Matt was already in the shower so I just stuck my head in the bathroom and yelled, "You didn't by chance happen to do some push ups this morning?" Sure enough, Todd saw Matt doing push ups and wanted to do them too.

I love it that he does and says everything his dad does. I must admit though it is intimidating realizing that he notices everything we say and do. I love my boys!

E the Easter Bunny

I am pretty sure that at some point before I had kids I promised I would never do something like this. Just goes to show how different life is when you actually have kids! Happy Easter to you and yours. May we sing all praise to Jesus name this day and always.
