Wishing For More Blog Time
On the eve of my middle son's 18th birthday, I am briefly reflecting back on this Fall and the blistering pace of it.
Between high school band for Ben, Ben's 15th birthday, senior year football for Matt, our first grandson, Thanksgiving........I am still trying to figure out where it went.
Not to mention all the stuff I would like to write about but for those of you who know me well, know that I am a bit overwhelmed at this moment or shall I say a bit preoccupied with what sometimes feels like a frieght-train headed towards me, and I am running as fast as I can to keep it from running over me. (I know - I brought it all on myself, so I am not complaining - merely and lamely attempting to justify my lack of blogging for almost a month!)
For now, just click HERE and scroll down to observe a very short video of my son dancing with his son - for me, it is priceless.....
I still can't process me being a grandfather, granddad, papa, or whatever I am except that God has been more than gracious to me to give me my wife, my sons, my daugher-in-law, and now Elliott.

November 1 - A Really Good Day!
Friends and family tell you that becoming a grandparent is an amazing experience.
They are right.
On Thursday evening, November 1 at 6:19pm, our beautiful daughter-in-law, Arley gave birth to Elliott Benjamin.
He is a beautiful baby, and I am still in awe trying to imagine my oldest son as a father.
In these few moments after Elliott's birth, I have watched Seth, and I believe he is and will be a great father.
I can't wait to watch this kid grow up - what an absolute joy beyond words......
I held him in my arms tonight and stared into his face. I so wished he could tell me what he was thinking, but I guess I will have to wait for that...
in the meantime, it's very difficult to describe all the feelings and emotions of the past few days......other than God continues to amaze me at what He creates!
