Elliot Allen Ames arrived on Earth around 3:20am this past Monday morning. Due to the planet’s gravity, he registered 6 lbs 11 oz and he was 19.5 inches long. His 2 sisters Savannah and Sydney, who had arrived on the planet 2 and 5 years prior, were delighted to finally fulfill their dreams to hold him in their arms.
It’s no secret, Carlos Whitaker loves time lapse video. Last year he recorded his family decorating the tree using an awesome song from August Burns Red. This year, I decided to follow suit.
![It's a [Insert Gender Here]!](http://dewde.com/wp-content/themes/metamorphosis/thumb.php?src=wp-content/uploads/1-GenderReveal.png&w=200&h=90&zc=1&q=90)
Today we discovered the gender of our third child. Naturally, I made a video in Target.
While all the well-to-do rich folk are enjoying perfectly grilled filet mignon and salmon on the deck of the clubhouse, we’re lounging about on the back nine, sipping sweet tea and chewing on the Colonel’s extra crispy fried chicken, in our own private Eden.
I’m not advocating that people who do not use cuss words start using them in order to artificially impress others. Unless of course someone has a video camera rolling because as that scene plays out in my mind it is awkward and hilarious. What I am advocating, or at least questioning, is whether or not we should be judging Christians who already use cuss words as a natural part of their vocabulary.

Immediately after I dropped Part 1, I realized that I had screwed up. The things I shared, while true, were directed at another person and I had never given that person the common courtesy of telling him those things directly. So I wrote him a letter. Then I sat on it for 2 weeks. I re-read it saturday with fresh eyes and I made some corrections and put it in an envelope. By “corrections” I mean I removed a butt load of fluff, sugar-coating, and word-smithing that were an attempt to make myself sound less like a tool and more like a wise, concerned friend.

The past few Saturdays we’ve watched this show on ABC called Wipeout. It’s sort of an Americanized, spay/neutered version of Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. As such, it is more family friendly. The first time our little one Savannah saw someone fall off the new Nards of Doom (a.k.a The Big Balls) she actually started crying. [...]

This is a video I made for my Mom and my Mother-in-law for Mother’s Day. Take a look if you want to know how to really make Mom smile next year.

So John just posted a new entry titled I’m A Better Web Developer Than Husband. He says that he is not meaning to compare his wife to a “project” but it instantly made me think of the metaphor. Then I flipped it around in the comments and wrote the following.
The project is you, Husband 1.0. [...]

I first became acquainted with Bill in January of 2006. He showed up on a sexual addiction recovery website, which is run by a friend of mine, called Higher Calling (http://higher-calling.com). In the typical fashion Bill introduced himself to the community. Also in the typical fashion he told us he had been using pornography regularly [...]

Well, it’s an inside joke between me and anyone that subscribes to Human3rror.com, ChurchCrunch.com, or follows John on Twitter. So yeah. Inside joke. It doesn’t exactly qualify for an “outside joke”, but it’s at least on the porch (southern version) or in the mudroom (northern version).
UPDATE:
Human3rror has not only retaliated, but escalated things considerably.

In November we took a walk together as a family, Sydney on her bike and Savannah in her “car.” We ended up raiding a neighbors back yard for a spell. As is often the case, I brought my trusty Canon HV20.

Another day, and therefore another opportunity, is upon us to [...]

I can still remember sitting in the large, comfortable bus as we took a day-long tour of London. It was December and the contrast of cold outside upon the heat inside created a perpetually thick matte of fog and condensation on my window. I reached up and wrote in large, friendly letters the words “Stupid [...]

Late last year I was surfing the best video site around, if you love HD and are an artsy-fartsy videographer type, when I stumbled upon this brilliant, heartwarming little video project called My Family Portrait. The first one I watched was by Clan McCloud, and I was inspired to follow suit instantly, but the idea [...]

My apologies. I accidentally published a draft. I have 18 of them at the moment and if I continue on my current path, each draft stands about a 50% chance of becoming an actual post. I’m not a power blogger like Human3rror of Church Crunch or Loswhit. I blog mostly for my girls and partly for myself. [...]
