“Change me”, that’s what the t-shirt says. A great Christmas gift from Christiana’s Aunts.

Christiana: “Thank you Aunt Liz & Aunt Maria, now Daddy will be fully motivated to change my poopy diapers. He doesn’t change my poopy diapers that much and this t-shirt will help him. Merry Christmas to you!”iPood (9)

Visit From Fr Miguel On The Feast Of Holy Family

The girls were so excited when Fr Miguel came and visited us today on the third day of Christmas, which is the feast of  Holy Family. Fr. Miguel played a quick puzzles and rode the PlasmaCar with the girls, and also blessed the chickens.

It was a good day for us! Thank you Father Miguel!

Christiana’s First Christmas

Filled with so much love and joy.

I have not been able to capture any picture of Christiana holding Baby Jesus yet, but she has a special devotion to Baby Jesus, special love.

We could all learn from her, to love like a child!

Big Surprise

I don’t have to do too much traveling anymore for the past few years now, at least not too much traveling to Europe. Every now and then I would do a small trip, a day or two days trip here and there, but not the whole week.

I cannot imagine going for long trip such as being in the military and leaving your family behind, leaving your children behind for a long period of time. Your family miss you and you miss your family especially your children and your children miss you even more. If you have not seen this video, it’s worth watching it, all the emotions this little girl has when she realized the big surprise. A very joyful moment for her and her dad too!

The Manhattan Declaration

“ We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:

1. the sanctity of human life
2. the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
3. the rights of conscience and religious liberty.

. . . We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.”

24

IMG_2849 In case y’all wondering why I have not updated the blog for the past week and a half, I’ve been consumed with the movie “24”. Yes, you can say I’m addicted to 24.

I realized season 7 of 24 was aired maybe over a year ago and I just started watching it last week, and I knew, once I started I can’t just walk away from it. The beauty of DVD, I can keep watching and watching with no commercial.

This time the story is all about government corruptions, conspiracy, bio-chemical weapons, and more government corruptions. It made me think, hhmm, do we have anybody in this country like Jack Bauer that can clean up our current administrations? Clean up the current corruptions?

Eggs . . . We Got Two Eggs!

IMG_2746 Just an update on the chickens, we are so excited in the past couple of days we’ve been getting two eggs a day. We are on our way to be egg farmers . . . LOL.

Chickadee & Zebree laid these two eggs and hopefully the other two will be laying soon.

Write Your Representative - Important

nancy-pelosi-5-29-08 We need your action to stop PelosiCare before it gets voted on this Saturday. Before it happens, we need to email (Click the word ‘email’ for easy link to write) and call 202-224-3121 our elected representatives to demand that they vote NO on HR 3962.

The problem with this bill:

1. This legislation still funds abortions with our taxpayer dollars. 2. Its price tag is outrageous and will be crippling to our economy.
3. Nationalized health care systems always disadvantage the elderly and the very sick.

4058619600_d432b08482_o Even if you've never contacted your representative before, please do so today. It's really important!

 

Facts: few more reasons to oppose HR 3962

News Flash: Planned Parenthood Leader Resigns After Watching Ultrasound of Abortion Procedure

This is great news for the pro-life movement, but much prayers and sacrifices need to be done still on the pro-life issues! Slowly but surely, person by person, one heart at the time, and just remember we are on God’s timing not ours.

The Chickens Got An Addition

I made an addition to the chicken coop last week so the chickens will have a little bit more area to roam around. Some would call the addition, the chicken runs. We are calling it the ‘screened in playground’.

Transformers Or iPhone Costumes

The movie Transformers is one of my favorite movie and if I have to wear a costume, I would have to go as ‘Bumble Bee’s Transformers’

But then, I might have to go as an iPhone!

Which one would you choose?

Fun Friday – The Other Side

mt rushmoreIf you ever been to Mount Rushmore you know how magnificent the sculptures of the heads of former United States presidents are. Have you ever wondered, how it looks on the other side of the mountain? Well, thanks to my sister-in-law, who is living in Canada, she has revealed the other side of Mt. Rushmore and what it really looks like from the Canadian side.wr

Fun Friday – Car Controlled With An iPhone

You would think this is a fake, but there are actually a group of smart people in Germany (Spirit of Berlin) who did this autonomous car project.

I’m going to see if they can make an autonomous chicken feeder controlled with an iPhone so I can feed the chickens from inside the house when it is raining.

Update on Christiana Mary

IMG_2685Some of you are fortunate enough to see how fast our children are growing up and some can only keep up through this blog. What ever the case maybe, this is just an update about Christiana, and you can see what she looks like from time to time. Today she is 9 months and she is just getting cuter and cuter by the day, of course that’s her Daddy talking! You might think otherwise. As you can see on this picture, we sat her down in front of the piano, just maybe, the interest is there . . . never too early!

We are so blessed!

The Chicken Coop Got An Upgrade, v 2.2

I made the chicken coop two weeks ago and two weeks later I decided to give it an upgrade. The original chicken coop was nice, but I just got tired of it, I feel the chickens are cooped up in it (no pun intended). Not really practical to be able to catch the chickens when the girls want to hold any of the chickens. You really have to crouch down to do anything, but now we can go in it and a lot more room above, and the chickens looks so much happier too.

Conversation With A Three Year Old

About five months ago, Coby had a conversation with Abigail when she was two year old (click here to read). Today, Coby had another one of those conversation with Abigail, but now she is three years old and this took place right after finishing their first reading lesson and Abigail wants to get Christiana;

coby_small Okay, are you all done?

Yah, because I’m distracted

abigail_small
coby_small Distracted?

Yah, I’m serious, my brain is distracted

from you talking to me.

abigail_small
