A quick trip through a scatterbrained mind.

I haven't posted in a while. No excuses (well, actually, yeah... an excuse), but we have been crazy busy (and our thoughts are often other places as well - see below) these last couple weeks. We were super blessed to have the house sell so fast, but we are T- 2 weeks now for closing date, and we just have a ton to do before that date; it doesn't help the fact that I am not in KC during the work week. Come October 1, life should slow back down again, and you will be sick of me again!

The pics are of Jack sitting up in his bed tonight. He is getting really good at balancing himself sitting up. What you miss in these pictures is him falling backwards (after about 5 minutes sitting up) and then trying to decide whether or not the fall is worth crying over; apparently it was not, but it was worth a quick stick out of the lower lip.

Things in the football world are as they should be. Jack witnessed his first (of many) Hawkeye victories today. He was very excited... though that was probably just him passing gas.

Other things to note: New job is good. Benefits are better. After 2 years I can work from home 2 days a week (that is in addition to being able to work 4 10-hour work days, rather than the standard 5). So...to recap... 4 days of work, and 2 of them from home? Do I feel some rejuvination of my playstation skills coming back? Yes, yes I do.

On a sad note, please pray for my cousin, Jeff Moore. He was seriously injured in an ATV accident last week while in Minnesota. While there have been a lot of positive signs so far during his hospital stay, it will still likely be a long road of recovery. You can read more here if you would like. Jeff is a really good guy that would give you the shirt off his back (I know that is a cliche saying, but for Jeff it really is true). When bad things happen to good people, it is always a little harder to swallow, and that is certainly the case here. We pray that God will do good things in Jeff's life.
