It is amazing how things change with the birth of your child. No longer are you allowed to be selfish with your time, nor are things simply about you or your spouse anymore. Your schedule now centers around their schedule, no matter how much you try to make theirs fit yours. Nights are no longer spent watching TV (No cable helps with that too!) or going to the movies or simply going out to eat, but instead enjoying the time the Lord has given you to spend with your child. It is amazing how much joy can be brought about by a simple smile.

A warning before you watch this video: It is about 3 minutes worth of Laura and I trying to get Wyatt to smile, so if that is not your thing, then don’t watch it. I didn’t dub over any cutesy music either, so don’t expect that either. Just two parents making silly noises in the hopes of getting their son to smile/laugh.

I think this is a first: I am going to post about the weekend before Laura will!

Before I get into what we did this weekend, I want to wish my dad a happy birthday! There are so many things that I could say here about him, but for the sake of time and space, I just want to thank him for being the example that he is to me and the rest of our family. Never once did he complain about having to provide for all of us kids, and we never knew when times were hard. I am truly blessed to have a godly father and Wyatt to have a godly Papa Joe.

We spent the 4th in Blanket with Laura’s family. Most of the time, we were just sitting around, or enjoying the back porch. Friday afternoon, Delbert pulled out some BB and pellet guns that he had found in some pawn shops. As much as Delbert and I may not want to admit it, Hayden definitely gave us a lesson.

Friday night we drove over to Comanche to enjoy the fireworks show. Silly me forgot my tripod, but I tried to get the best picture that I could. Delbert and Brenda picked the perfect spot, as the fireworks were shooting off right next to the moon!

Saturday, Clint, Tonya, and their boys came in. We quickly found out that they were no longer curious as to where Aunt Lala and Uncle Slade were. They were only concerned with where Baby Wyatt was, and what he was doing. Parker was the cutest of all, always wanting to help hold him, or make sure that Wyatt was ok when he was crying.

Finally, we got a picture of all five of the grandons. Wyatt didn’t want to open his eyes, but the rest of them more than made up for it.

So I am working on some software that will help me keep track of the books that we have here at the house. I have been wanting to track them for a number of reasons, but mainly it just gives me a chance to get back into coding doing something that “should” be relatively easy.

I was curious, if you could track pretty much anything that amazon.com tracks, what would you be most interested in? Mainly I am looking for some random statistics that can be displayed on the main page of bookshelf. (That is the name that I have given the project.) For example, total number of pages in our library is already in the works.

Let me know what you think.
