TIME OUT!!!
So this year, I'm:
Teaching
Raising 4 kids
Making a yearbook
Coordinating Chapel
Tutoring after school
Attending Bible studies
Working on portrait commissions
Planning an art show for Jess and I
Managing 2 blogs
Working out at the gym
and pretending to be well rested
Most of these things are non-negotiable
about the only thing that I can put on the chopping-block is "Meatballs and Ravioli"
So I'm guessing that by now (assuming you follow the blog regularly) you will have noticed the drop-off in entries.
So for now (possibly indefinitely) we'll be giving our blog a rest. If you'd like, you check out the other blog (www.ccaarthistory.blogspot.com)for regular updates and a little art history. Otherwise, we hope to be here by Christmas.
Thanks for reading, and God bless.

The Five Senses of Parenting - Part 5: Touch
Things I never thought I’d feel until I became a father of 4:
A finger in the eye
A fire truck striking my temple
A kick in the groin while asleep
A rock-hard head striking my cheek-bone
A severely chewed piece of un-swallowed broccoli
A very, very wet diaper leaking on my lap
Baby barf in my hand
Baby barf on my back
Baby barf on my chest
Baby barf on my shoulder
Cake icing on my head
Cheese sauce in my arm hair
Lego blocks under my bare feet
Pennies covered in saliva
Someone hanging by my chest hair
Someone pulling themselves up on my pit hair
Something fuzzy under the couch
Something pointy under the bed
Something slimy on the table
Something sticky on the railing
Three kids and a dog piled on my back
Toddler barf on my bare feet
Boogers

The Five Senses of Parenting - Part 2: Sound
Things I never thought I’d hear until I became a father of 4:
The sound of a person’s body falling from their bed
The sound of a person’s body as they fall from the couch
The sound of a person’s body as they fall from a kitchen chair
Grown men and women cheering for someone who pooped on the potty
My own voice saying, “There is no way I had this many toys when I was a kid.”
My wife’s voice saying, “Don’t put the applesauce in your hair.”
A screaming baby at 2:30am
A computer generated asparagus singing “This is My Father’s World”
The same asparagus singing “This is My Father’s World” 27 consecutive times
A baby passing gas louder than me
The sentence: I don’t like french fries
People screeching because they’re happy
A baby crying for a 3½ hour car trip
My wife crying after that same car trip
My daughter telling the cop that pulled me over, “Daddy knows all about the police.”
Someone telling me “He has your butt.”
