Happy Thanksgiving

The title says it all. Hope you all have and had a great day with friends and family.

Yikes!

So I think I was overly optimistic when we signed up for Internet service. It's been how long since I posted last? This is why I will never "Tweet". I'd post something like, "There's a huge branch falling off a tree...", then not hear from me for 6 months, all the time assuming I had been crushed by said branch. All is well with the Smith family. Olivia is now 10 months old and growing up too fast. Work is going well for me. I have been involved with our most recent round of route adjustments in our office. That's been a real hoot! Lisa has been busy with working at our church part time helping with childcare and being a homemaker. No promises for another post soon, but I'll do my best. Thanks for checking in!

Go Karting

Well, last night I went go-karting with some friends at Skykart. What a blast! On our second race I got the fastest lap time out of our group. (I say that because there were two die hard members of that track that beat me.) If you haven't gone karting before, you must go. As a side note it's 12:30 and 97 degrees right now. The forecast is a high of 101 degrees, an all time record for Seattle! Thank God for central air conditioning. Mmmmm, cold air. Maybe I should cook some steaks tonight...on the curb!

Dad's busy

Hi everyone. My dad is really busy so I'm going to write for him. Although I'm only 6 months old, I'm somewhat of a prodigy...hence my grasp of the English language and internet. I'm getting bigger and more mobile now. Mom and dad always have to keep an eye on me. When I fuss they pick me up. So basically I own them! I hear someone coming so I'd better go.

P.S. See how cute I am?

The Smiths

Here's my happy little family.

Smoked!

I played my 4th softball game today and we got rahsted. 12-1 loss! There's a 10 run mercy rule in our league so the ump called the game. The team we played was awesome and we managed to error on everything. Good times. Maybe we can pick up our dignity and win next week. On a much lighter note...Lisa and I saw the new Terminator movie on Wednesday. It was OK, but the 3rd one in the series is my favorite. At least we only paid the matinee price. Oh yeah, happy Father's Day to me!

More Child

Olivia is now 5 1/2 months old. Hard to believe. She's developing a sweet little personality. She just got a Jumparoo and can't get enough of it. It keeps her happy and occupied. Ahhhh! Well, that's all for my short and choppy thoughts. Lisa and I pray she doesn't end up ADD like daddy!

Softball

Well, today we (Crossroads Bible Church) won our 3rd game. We are now 3 for 3. The team is about half Crossroads folk from our small group and the rest are from other churches in the area. I usually play in the outfield, but today I owned 2nd base...only because there were no critical plays there. I can dream can't I? It's definitely become the highlight of my week.
