Gavin received his 1st. Library Card today!


Gavin received his first library card today. I am so excited to share with him all the beautiful, interested worlds of books. I hope he will grow to love books as much as I do. Internet is great but nothing feels like a great book. The smell, texture of the fine paper, the cover and endless knowledge or fiction within. I am so proud to be a papa today. I get to share the many small things that I adore about being GavinsPaPa.

Attending Tim & Terrie's Babyshower




I am so happy that my beautiful cousin Terrie and her husband Tim is having their first child. With most of my cousins, all the girls are so head-strong that she is keeping the sex of her first baby a surprise until he due date. I am so happy for them since I can remember setting them up on a blind date a couple years back. And now they are a happy married couple with their first child on the way. In many ways it is bitter sweet since my ex and I did not make the journey as they have. All the best wishes to my cousin Terrie and good mate Tim. Here are some pictures of Gavin and Trinity at their baby shower

One of my favorite Country Song..

He said I was in my early forties, with a lot of life before me
And one moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays
Talking bout' the options and talking bout' sweet times.
I asked him when it sank in, that this might really be the real end
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news?
Man what did ya do?
He said

Chorus
I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'

Verse 2
He said I was finally the husband, that most the time I wasn't
And I became a friend, a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden goin' fishin, wasn't such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I finally read the good book, and I took a good long hard look
At what I'd do if I could do it all again
And then

Chorus
I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Shu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'

Bridge
Like tomorrow was the end
And ya got eternity to think about what to do with it
What should you do with it
What can I do with it
What would I do with it

Skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And man I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin'
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'

To live like you were dyin' (4x)
