Hey gang,

I have been gone for a little while now, and I feel like I should let everyone know why... My wife and I had our first baby about 2.5 weeks ago! Landon came into the world on Oct. 14th at about 11 pm. He was 8.3 lbs, and 21 inches long! He came into this world a very active little boy. The first thing he did, was grab the doctors clamps.

Matthew 10:8 ...Freely you have received, freely give.

Sunday afternoon, after picking Lisa up from work, I took her to The Fresh Market to buy something special for dinner. I went into the store, she rested, and picked out prepaired chicken cordon bleu, some sweet Italian sausage, some ground chuck, and some fresh angel hair pasta. I finished my purchase and went to the car. Lisa was curious as to what I'd purchased, but I wanted to surprise her. We headed home.
