We went to Gracie’s school today for an assembly. She got an award for “academic excellence”. She was pretty excited about it. It was very cute. While we were there. As they were reading the first group of award recepients, Gehrig heard them say the name Carsen. He yelled out excited, “Gracie! They just said your boyfriend Carsen!” I don’t think Gracie got embarrassed, and Gehrig didn’t say it to...

Today we made it through a whole day of church! It’s been a while since Nolan has been sick. We have had him on antibiotics all week and gave him some decongestant before church. He went into Nursury just fine. When I picked him up after church he looked so exhausted. Church is from 9 AM – Noon. His nap time is generally around 9:30 or 10:00 so he was way overdue and having the decongestant didn’t help I’m sure. But it...

Today was Gehrig’s birthday party. It was a very fun day. Rachel planned an excellent Indiana Jones themed party. We had lots of family come over.

Thinking about him getting older I’ve noticed that he is getting more mature...

I got a call from my friend Keith today. He and Matt (former co-workers at 3M) are helping me with my new budgeting application – Inzolo.com. They have been working on a sort of dashboard view for the system. I could tell he was excited to explain it all to me. Hopefully we can meet on Monday to talk about it. I’m glad they are as excited about this as I am. I think this business can be really big.

Today I had lunch at a Dave Ramsey church leaders event. They basically feed us a nice meal then hype us up to help sell tickets to the live event in May and encourage use to do the financial peace university and get people to sign up for that. It’s really directed toward evangelical ministries though because a lot of what they say is not relevant to us because we have no paid ministry in the church. I still promote the event anyway...
