Let me explain...

No, there is no time. Let me sum up.

So much has happened since I took my unplanned hiatus from this site that I could not hope to catch you all up. Nevertheless I will attempt to sum up in an untold number of bullet points what has happened and hereby pledge to do a better (though probably not daily) job of updating this thing with reports, thoughts, and feelings...because I'm just that kind of guy.

• In June of '08 we were turned down by our most promising lead for support
• We moved to Tyler at the end of August to honor their financial support of us, and to convince them to renew - I mean, once they saw how cool we were...
• In October Shiloh officially joined Cedar Lane as a supporting congregation!
• August - December - my daughter grows and continues her quest to be the cutest/prettiest/most precocious baby on the planet
• January - Shaye begins to walk. She is officially a toddler (now 13 months old). I thought she couldn't get any more beautiful but she surprises me daily in this.
• January 12 - We throw the coolest (probably) shindig ever done at Shiloh. Check Larissa's blog for more details.
  
• January 21 - I become a Godfather. Sera Ashlyn Middleton is born to John and Chelsea. Shaye is guaranteed to have 2 great girlfriends for her life - God is good!

I could elaborate for paragraphs on any of those topics so if you want to hear more about any of them, leave me a comment. This is all assuming that in a year I haven't lost every person that ever checked this blog. I reckon that this discipline will still be good for me.

I'll be back...
