Catching Up
Do you ever get stuck on something…getting a certain course of action fixed in your mind for no apparent reason? About two weeks ago, on August 19th, I decided the next thing I would blog about would be the new pictures I was going to post of the RCA BBQ. Then I realized I should also take pictures of the Rock’s gig at Destination ISU, and I should wait until I could post pictures of that as well. Then I took more pictures of Madeline, and thought I should just wait to blog about it until I got those up as well. Meanwhile, I thought of other topics to blog about as well, but I thought to myself, “no, the next thing I was going to write about is those pictures.”
Then I thought we were going to change photo gallery software, so I was going to wait until we did that to post the pictures. I decided we could keep coppermine, but then it was taking a lot longer to upload the pictures because I can only do five at a time and it doesn’t take zip files. And I took more pictures of Madeline, and pictures of our booth at Welcomefest. Finally, last night I finished putting up all those pictures but I was too tired to blog about it.
So, here’s the headlines of what you missed while I was thinking too much about pictures to blog about anything else.
- We had a great kick-off weekend with the RCA Fellowship team, including a BBQ and a party at Doug’s house
- I read some awesome stuff in the book “Sacred Parenting”
- Trying to go to the dorms with a baby is challening, but it’s a great way to meet people
- I’ve been swamped with administrative stuff, from phone lists to lifegroup leader manuals to follow-up reports, but I think I’m past the worst of it
- I had a total freak-out at the Rock last Friday night, and Tony helped me realize that I REALLY need to be connecting with God more
- We went to West Des Moines last Saturday and saw the new mall. Then we tried to enjoy Indian food while Madeline screamed the whole time
- Madeline is learning fun new stuff, like how to “stand” by leaning against a chair arm of the right height, how to play with toys using her feet and how to throw things off the exersaucer
Any of those could have been awesome posts, and maybe I will still write about some of those items. But for now, you can go look at all our fun pictures. A picture is worth a thousand words anyway, right?
