Whenever Christian wants me to pick him up he says, "Up you appa."
And sometimes he says, "Up yours appa."

Groundhog Day
It's 1:40am and just finished watching one of my favorite movies of all time, Groundhog Day. I'd hate to get a life insight from this goofy Bill Murray movie, but I did. Here it is:
You can either make a positive or negative difference in somebody's life everyday of your life.
The difference between Bill Murray's character and ours? We go to sleep thinking there will be a tomorrow...

Zoo Crew
We went to the Oakland Zoo on Sunday with the gang. It was Christian's first time. I think he really enjoyed it.
The funniest part was when we were looking at the monkeys and I said, "Look Christian monkeys." Then Christian says, "Ball!", after spotting a red rubber ball the monkeys play with. Something tells me he would rather go to Cooperstown than the zoo.

Christian is getting better at the drums
He plays mostly at home with the chopsticks and a make shift drum set consisting of a tissue box, empty plastic containers and random dishes. But we should really think about investing in a little drum set for him. Maybe we could keep it in the garage.
Here he is playing along with the band.

It Is Well
When peace like a river, attendeth my way;
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
There is nothing like a good hymn. Churches these days don't sing hymns enough I think.
The hymn above is one of my favorites. It was written by Horatio Spafford in the late 1800's. He was a lawyer who endured more tragedy than a man should in one's life. His wife and 4 daughters were traveling to Europe by ship and while crossing the Atlantic, the ship collided with another ship and sank. His wife survived but all 4 of his daughters died. Shortly afterwards, as Spafford traveled to meet his grieving wife, he was inspired to write these words as his ship passed near where his daughters had died.
