First Lock *VIDEO*
Friday after work we took Hannah to get her first haircut! They asked her what DVD she wanted to watch and then took her to sit in a race car and watch the DVD while the lady cut her hair. She only got her bangs trimmed and an inch and a half around the back and sides. She was really good until the lady had the gall to get in the way of Elmo’s World just to trim her bangs! Imagine!
Rob Bell, Katie, and I
Sunday Katie and I drove up to Grand Rapids, Michigan to attend a conference at the sudo-church, Mars Hill. Mars Hill is a very non-tradition church plant started around 2000 that has grown into thousands of people meeting in their converted mall. This is due to the blessing of God and the very powerful and creative teachings of Rob Bell. I’ve been listening to Rob Bell’s sermons for a couple of years now online. Since I’ve been listening to him for years and have read his book, there weren’t too many new things for me. However, it was really great for Katie and I to get away and focus on what God might be saying to us right now.
Worth Every Penny
During the off season, the Colts fired the “most accurate kicker in NFL history” and signed Adam Vinatieri, the best clutch kicker in NFL history from the Patriots. He wasn’t cheap, but he hasn’t missed in our stadium this whole season! Tonight he was the only scorer for the Colts with 5 field goals. The longest was a 51 yarder that actually bounced off the bottom bar and went in. For those of you outside of Indiana, the Colts won their second playoff game and are headed for the AFC Championship game next week!
The Phone Revolution
Apple impressed everyone by introducing the new iPhone. It’s an amazingly thin widescreen video iPod with only one button. All other features are controlled by using your fingers to just touch the screen. Beyond a phone it has broadband internet with a full browser, blackberry-styled push email, and chatting styled text messaging. Another cool revolutionary product by Apple!
Happy 2007
We had a great Christmas at the Gerber’s. Hannah got her rocking chair from Nana and Papa and she loves Rockin Out every day in it. One of the many fun moments at the Gerber’s was watching Hannah play with all her cousins. At Thanksgiving time, she was more in her own little world. But, that wasn’t so this time, her and Clara played so well together. We had to seperate them at least once a day because they wanted to play with the same toy, Great minds think alike. However, they always ended up giving each other great big bear hugs and went to a new toy.
We are now trying to get back on a semi schedule and are in morning of our beloved Buckeyes. Since the start of the New Year, Hannah has had her first open cut right below her lip. (First Blood) Hives all over her body meaning a trip to the Dr. and her first Chucky Cheese experience. WOW, we are going to have one fun Year. Happy New Year Everyone
