With only seeing Judah every now and then I always wonder if he remembers me, if he knows I'm daddy, or if he sees me as a random baby sitter. This week put those questions to rest as I realize that we have a bond that only a father and son can have. Some of these videos I'm a dorky dad and are quite lengthy so feel free to skip around. I've got more but I'll wait a few days to post them so it feels like I actually update this blog on a regular basis...lol.

He's growing up to be just like his Daddy

It has been my hope for a long time that a miracle would happen in Jodi's life. I see that is impossible now, so please continue to pray for the situation.

On a less depressing and sad note Judah and I had a great time with my son this past week. For the first time he smiled and reached for me just as soon as he saw me. Dad's, you are right that is the best feeling in the world. When he begins mimicking your actions you just become so proud and want to squeeze and kiss him. He is a very smart boy and will be walking before I know it. Ok, enjoy the pictures and videos.

New House!!!!

Here are a few pictures of the new house! I'll be doing some major remodeling to the kitchen and recovering the hardwood floors. Its a three bedroom 2 bath with a great back deck.

Sorry it has taken me so long to put up new pictures. Life has been crazy lately but very good! The new church has been keeping me really busy but it's been such a blessing to be back doing the things that God has called and wants me to do. I wanted to share with you how awesome God is and how much he has blessed me lately. It would seem that it's hard to top hanging out with Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne for a week, meeting Meg Ryan, and buying my car from AROD (Alex Rodriguez) but God continues to pour out and most of all at a time when you wasn't sure if He was listening. The new church has been amazing and such a blessing of support and love, and beyond that I was looking for a house here in the community and just when I didn't think I was going to find anything that would fit my budget a couple from the church that had been asking $109,000 for their house accepted my offer of $55,000!!! Truly God is good and I can't thank Him enough for his many blessings and most of all I can't thank Him enough for my son. I miss him every minute of every day but putting up pictures helps me to feel somewhat closer to him. I'm glad that I can share him with all of you rather than to be selfish and keep him to myself, and I understand now why people get so excited to pull out pictures of their kids in their wallets. So enjoy the new videos and pictures!

Hanging with Daddy

It was awesome spending time with my son this past week. He is a very happy baby as was I when I was little, so I've been told, so hopefully he will be just like me. We had the best time together playing at the hotel and swimming. Every time he splashed the water he would kick and smile in amazement. Hopefully soon he will be coming home with me. He's finally starting to realize that I'm daddy and that is a good feeling. Both Judah and I have been through a lot this year but when we are together we tend to forget about the problems and enjoy the time we have with each other. Keep praying it is paying off, and thanks to all of you who have been praying about my new job. The church is wonderful and very encouraging and loving, I couldn't have asked for a better place. Ok, enjoy the videos!

The Biggest Rockstar of them All, Judah Cole

It's amazing how much having a child affects you because even though I was around one of the worlds most popular stars the one person that I wanted to be with most was my son Judah Cole. Its amazing how much I miss him when I'm away, so more for my entertainment rather than yours I've put up some random videos of the best TV star I know....my son.

What an amazing two weeks!!!

These past two weeks have been crazy! It was quite a transition from working in California at Ozzy Osborns house and then flying over night to meet up with my new church for a missions trip. The youth ministry and I went down to North Carolina to work with the HINTON center building houses and various remodeling projects for the poorer people in this part of the state. There is nothing like spending your first week on the job not knowing anybody and leading a week long missions trip with a bunch of Jr. / Sr. High students. The truth is I couldn't have planned a better way to build relationships with these teens in a better and faster way than serving the Lord together in missions. It was a great week but I am wiped! I don't have any pictures of the trip but I do have some pictures that I promissed of my trip to California. They are random pictures so don't expect much as I wasn't allowed to take many photos. I do have one picture of Meg Ryan where I met her in line at the supermarket. I snuck a picture of her while she wasn't looking so it's not that good but I promis you it was her. Enjoy!
