Musevisa DBC 2009 #6

I thought this Norwegian carol had a funny name.  Kathy said I would tell you that it was  found on Wikipedia.   I picked it because I pronounce it “moose-visa” which is probably wrong.  But I needed a way to blog about Josiah and his fear of Moose, meese, mooses, or whatever the plural is.  We [...]

Over the River and Through the Woods DBC ‘09 #5

This coming weekend we are heading out to my dad’s house for Christmas.  Not only are we going to eat well, hang out with family, and exchange gifts with the kids; we are also going to have the 2nd annual family pinewood derby race.  Yes you heard me, we race pinewood derby cars, and it [...]

Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer DBC ‘09 #4

I realize that I am at least a few days behind and so there will be several posts tonight to make up for it.  On Saturday my dad and step-mother came down and had lunch with us and I drove them over to Sam Houston State to watch a playoff football game.  It was the [...]

The Wassail Song DBC ‘09 #3

I heard this song growing up and didn’t know what the heck wassail was.  There is this memory stuck in my head of a Christmas special where all the Christmas songs were messed up and I couldn’t figure out what wassail was once the song was corrected.  I digress.
After Kathy and I met I fell [...]

I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas DBC ‘09 #2

Ok I don’t want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.  But while searching for titles of Christmas songs I found this and had to use it.  Who writes a song about a Hippo for Christmas??  And what in the world to you write about with that title?  I think there are two options.  #1 I could post [...]

HALLELUJAH! DBC ‘09 #1

This is one of the challenges that I do enjoy because it forces me to actually write posts for the blog.  We talk about doing more here and we may possibly add our own blogs and turn this into one for family stuff, maybe.  I digress.
Today I finished my 9th semester of seminary, yes that would be [...]

DBC 2009

DBC starts tomorrow. So we will be posting for the rest of the year daily, so check in regularly. I am going to say that is why we haven’t posted much this year. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.–Dirk

4 months later…

…we’re back. Here are some newer pictures of our two little monkeys. They are so much fun!

Summer Saturday

One Saturday recently, we decided to pack a lunch and head out to Deussen Park nearby. Its a great park with lots of fun areas and tons of playgrounds scattered everywhere. They also have a little herd of Bison fenced in, so that is always fun. We rounded out the day by taking Josiah to [...]

The world through Josiah’s eyes…

Against my better judgement, I let Josiah have control of the camera for about 10 or 15 minutes one morning.  I figured whatever he took pictures of could be easily deleted, but as Dirk and I flipped through them we thought they were pretty hilarious. Here are a few highlights(note: I thought about explaining a [...]
