Is that supposed to be on fire???

For starters... we have an electric stove.

During breakfast, someone spilled something into the drip tray. When I was boiling water - apparently something in the drip tray hit it's ignition point and flaired up.

Christopher called me and said... "Dad... is the stove supposed to be on fire?"

I just let it burn out. It wasn't anything dangerous. Just kind of humerous.

My poor, poor, children...

We took a road trip yesterday to Huntsville to go to the Space and Rocket Center. After our visit there, we stopped by the Alabama A&M University. The school that I graduated from...

As we drove by the school, I decided that it would be cool if I had the boys take a picture that I was going to send to Dedrick. Basically, on "the block" they have these stones that the various fraternities have... Since Dedrick is a Phi Beta Sigma, I was going to have the boys stand by their stone and show the hand signal associated with the fraternity.

Here in lies the problem.

Christopher decided that he didn't want to "play along" - He decided to use the hand signal for "Hang Loose" which is also the Alpha Phi Alpha hand signal.

The picture... speaks for itself...

Spring has sprung...

I kind of went into hibernation this winter... the weather was really blah and I didn't feel like taking pictures... talking about what was going on... anything like that.

Well, the weather is getting better. The birds are chirping and all is good in the world.

Joshua was outside sitting on the thinking rock daydreaming about how he's going to be spending his summer vacation.

Caleb and Zach are enjoying the time of year when all young men become Jedi Knights...

Spring... it's a great time of year...
