Okay. Another picture. Looks like my mom finally got a clue and cut my hair minus the “bang.”

Man. It seems like just yesterday. To be in 6th grade again.

Found this picture in those albums I mentioned last week…

I think our boy scout troop was picked to have a couple of rent a kids go hang out with Charles Bronson and assuming that’s his wifey for a March of Dimes photo shoot. Notice the t-shirt I’m wearing. The Boys & Girls Clubs hadn’t yet added the “Girls.”

Now this pic…

Another rent a kid shot!

What’s up with my hair?

Pretty cool stuff.

Just sent this to my wifey from her boys.

Cute.

Back to church stuff.

Around 6:30am this morning this event took place the day after our youngest had a tooth fall out…

Youngest boy: “Dad?”

Me: “yes.”

Youngest boy: “The tooth fairy didn’t come.” (As he holds his little baggie with the tooth still in the baggie with no cash in it and as I scramble quickly looking for a buck and my wife mumbles half asleep, “look in my purse,” as youngest boy looks all over his room for the dough)

Me: As youngest boy is trying to inquire why the tooth fairy didn’t come with mom in our room, I under stealth go into his room and stuff a buck under his pillow, I enter back into our room, quickly jump on our bed and my wife says to youngest boy, “why don’t you go back into your room and look again?”

Youngest boy: Enters our room again with a big smile holding up the buck and the tooth still in the baggie and says, “what about the tooth?”

Me and the wifey: “Sigh.”

In church in the morning we celebrate the sacrament of baptism. It’s our first baptisms in the church since we’ve begun our relationship as pastor and congregation. What a joy and an honor to participate in kingdom work.

Found a bit of humor for the occasion…

A mother looked out a window and saw Johnny playing church with their three kittens. He had them lined up and was preaching to them. The mother turned around to do some work, but soon she heard meowing and scratching on the door.

She went to the window and saw Johnny baptizing the kittens. She opened the window and said, “Johnny, stop that! You’ll drown those kittens.”

Johnny looked at her and said with much conviction in his voice: “They should have thought of that before they joined my church.”  (from Mikey’s Funnies)

If this were only true. Please come to LA Mr. Torre. Would it not be fitting for you to come and experience the other side of baseball and put a team originally from the other coast back on the map when it comes to baseball? By the way Joe? Have you ever had a dodger dog???? To have you coach the next generation of Dodger kids and for my kids to watch you and the dudes in blue would rock the baseball world! Mr. Little I have no doubt Joe will keep you around. Don’t fret!

When I should be finishing my sermon I came across this for motivation. I think this would be a great way of keeping in touch with people in the church.

My kids asked me once, “Dad, were you ever on the principals list or honor roll?” My response, “No, I think I was on the custodians list?”

This week is parent teacher conferences for the kiddoes.

And as parental units we are very pleased to say the kiddoes rocked. Bring on those cheesy cool bumper stickers that say my kids rock at their school!!!

My other favorite question from the kiddoes, “Dad, did you ever get straight A’s?”

Here ends my post on grades and kids.
