Look what happened to us

Boy these past few days have been dark, stormy and normal for a Utah winter into spring transition.  But like the saying goes, "April showers brings May flowers".  Though a third of the flowers are up already, most will come up in beauty and splendor because of all the storms that have passed by.  Isn't it that way with life?  Beauty and good times are around us today. Though the storms of life can still come, and will come with all their fury and bitter coldness, in the end the blessings of those storms will bring even more beauty and even more better times than what we have now. Thank goodness we have storms in our lives.

So the events of the past week are few but significant in that they meet certain milestones.  "I will tell you a tale, you lad, a whale of a tale or two.  'Bout the the laughs I've had the the gal I love while we walked at night with the moon above.  It's a small whale of a tale but it's true, I swear by my tat... um don't have one of those...I swear by my kung fu."

Caleb has got some new teeth!  Unless you already knew this, Caleb has had his two bottom front teeth pop through his gums this week.  He is growing so fast.  I was looking through some old pictures of him today and he definitely does not look like his younger self.  That is not a bad thing either.  He gets cuter every week and is learning so much every day too.  Carolyn and I have said that isn't it a miracle that we were able to create something so intelegent.  It is simply amazing.

So my father had a birthday last week.  I won't tell you that he turned 55 this year so you can just go ask him how many years he has behind him.  We had a great party and he received many gifts that had a theme to it all.  One word "GUNS".  He received them by mail, by hand or even by a tan coat pocket.  All that I can say is that he uses them all wisely and effectively to their full potential.  Happy Birthday Daddy.  May all of the years ahead be just as many as the ones behind, and may they be just as fruitful and blissfull.

Carolyn will be starting her finals next week and will take her final tests this week.  Lots of studying will be going on from now on.  Wish her luck.

Ginger and I don't have anything new in our lives.  We just try to stay fit and active so that we can be healthy and energized for each day.  We do have our slip-ups though and we have to work really hard to get back to where we were.  Last night was one of those times.  I ran two miles in 15 minutes, up and down the stairs for 15 minutes (one, two, or three at a time)  and then 60 crunches and 30 push-ups, and Ginger watched.  Boy were we pooped at the end of that time.  You would think that we would learn a lesson.

So that is all from my corner,  How about your corner?
