Mr. Tanneran - "Hey Louden, you think you're overextending yourself on this Shute challenge?"
Louden - "Definitely."
Mr. Tanneran - "You know you have a tendency to do that."
Louden - "Sometimes you got to, remember? This is like one of them times."

Quite a day......

Thank you to Amy for all your hard hard work making Xmas special for Alex and Blake and all our family. I love you and admire you more than anything or anyone in the world. You are my rock, the one I can always count on to be there for me and to be there for our beautiful children. Spending another Xmas with you is the greatest gift I could ever receive. I love you with all my heart.

Thank you B for your wonderful hugs, for your JOYOUS appreciation of the Wii, for beat boxing, for scooter riding, for the all-A honor roll, and for the happiness in your voice when you ran into bed this morning. You make me so proud and happy!!

Thank you A for silently reading Junie B Jones on your couch, for the all-A honor roll, for ballet dancing at the YMCA, for that look in your eye when you know the answer, for having trouble saying goodbye to E, and for making me laugh out loud every single day. You and your brother make me the proudest dad in the history of dads!!

Thank you to all of our family and friends for all of your love and support. And to those that have passed on know that you are alive in my heart and that I think of you and miss you every day.

Sorry for the sap, just feeling very very blessed on this wonderful day.

~12. Felt a lot weaker and much more difficult than I hoped. Oh well. Reality check.

Went to Mom and Dad's for Xmas eve. The car ride home was absolutely priceless. They were absolutely giddy with anticipation. It really really warmed my heart to witness their excitement. They had an absolute ball getting cookies ready for Santa, etc. and just couldn't get to bed fast enough. Really enjoyed the day.
