What else can I say... Aren't they Great!!

This the other one. The "Bi-Polar" one. Don't get me wrong. I love him very
much but he is the younger brother that lives up to every letter of the title. His brother doesn't put up with much from him frankly because he has earned the thrashing he gets. This guy is Max. He lives life the same way. Do you think that there is just something about a name? You know, kind-of like Mertle. What did you think of then? Old grandma with grey hair? Yeah, Me too. What about Billy Bob? Or maybe Penelope? Max is definitely not a soft and gentle name. His hugs are usually followed by a throat squeeze almost strong enough to make you pass out. In either case, it's still really nice to get the hug. Today he started going to a new place for preschool and he came home so excited to tell me his numbers and letters. I think this change will be really good for him. He really needs a person who can give him one on one attention because he is always talking and moving. At this early age I can already tell that he will be the exact opposite of his brother in almost everything. That's really cool in some ways because as their father I love being able to do all the very different things they rope me into.

Do you see what I see. I can't believe it. This kid is 9 years old. That means I'm nine years older than I was before I had kids. That explains why I have less on my head of the stuff that is turning grey. This is Zach. He is our oldest child and loves to boss around his younger pest of a brother. We try to stop it but I think it's kind of like the fight on global warming. You can't prove it so you might as well destroy the economy and stress families budgets while making laws and regulations that will never help anyway. Oh sorry.... I guess I'm on a tangent and need to get back to the topic. ZACH. He is indeed 9 years old and I love him. He will make me rich some day as his main interest is to be a computer tech/gamer. Actually, He hasn't said that, he just plays a lot of PS2 and Internet games. Where did come from anyway. When I was a kid, We had Atari 2600 (Yea, Old School) but we still went outside and played. I don't think schools teach that anymore! Too busy with Kindergarten classes on World Social Studies, Advanced Calculus and Watch documentaries on Global Warming. Oh don't get me started again.... For now just know ZACH is a really cool kid.

Sing with me....

I am merely the band director so I don't sing that much but certain songs just make me to smile. Do you remember the song "The Wheels on the Bus go Round and Round?" I think so. It's a classic. When Shelly started driving the the little yellow school bus I couldn't help but laugh and think about that song. Also, I thought, "Oh great, now we're paying for 35,000.00 dollars of school loan and you're paying for it by driving a bus!" The funny thing is... She's really good at it and I think the strange thing is God planned it all along. If we should ever meet...... Ask for the song. I can really funk up the Little Bus Song.
