Back to SCHOOL!

I don't know how many of you know this but I actually started my Master's program this year. It was a rather spontaneous decision as I completed my application with transcrpits and reccomendation letters in one week!!! Anyway as of three minutes ago I finished my first class! It feels pretty amazing even though I still have a bunch to go. I am getting my Master of Education in Leadership and Administration. I'm not sure what I will do with this yet, but I know that it will come in handy some day. The possibilities are endless as I could be a fine arts coordinator, department chair, principal, dean etc. Right now I am enjoying being a choir teacher and I can't wait until I have a few more years of experience. A little bit about my grad classes:
1. We've already had some people drop because they thought the work load was too much. It is a lot but it's not THAT bad! (whimps...j/k)
2. I am taking classes through Benedictine University in Lisle. It is only a 15 min. drive from my apartment which makes it great!
3. One of my high school teachers is taking the class with me! Weird but not that weird!
4. Since it is a Catholic University we get devotionals sent to us from the priest. I think they're cool! It's nice to get a small glimpse of what it would have been like to go to a Christian school.
5. Classes are only 5 weeks long...hence all the crazy amounts of work!

That's it! 1 class closer to graduation!!!

Being sick and married

So, I am sick for the first time as a married man. It has been a new experience. It started last Tuesday as a wicked sore throat and runny nose while I was in Atlanta. By Thursday morning I was feeling pretty awful and as I woke up to no one but the pillow beside me I realized how much I enjoy having a wife to sleep next to. I learned quickly that traveling while sick is not very fun. Getting home Thursday night and giving Keren a hug was a great feeling.

We spent the weekend together and she never denied me a hug or kiss on account of my illness. She made me special tea to drink and didn't complain when I blew my nose obnoxiously loud.

And what was her reward for being so wonderful? Well, she woke up this morning with a wicked sore throat and runny nose.

Official response to Baby-gate

I neither confirm nor deny the allegations of the below blog. The pictures were or were not taken out of context to show that I do like to spend time (on certain occasions) with babies. No further comment.

The Truth about Dave!!!

Today's post is simply to expose the truth about Dave. When I first met Dave he was not very good with children. In fact, I'm pretty sure he claimed that he didn't really care for kids all that much. Well, I believe that I have gathered up enough evidence over the past few years to prove that wrong. I believe Dave's love for children has grown and that he just secretly enjoys being around them. So, I am here to expose the truth about my husband ...the baby lover! Here is the evidence:

Here he is holding JT his little cousin. This was taken shortly after he changed baby Danny's diaper!!!

Here he is with Selah....now I said DAVE loves kids...not that all kids love Dave, as you can see....

This is the most recent piece of evidence that I have, here he is with the youngest baby he has ever held. Baby Kate!

And the 2nd youngest baby: AJ....Look how he watches football and continues to care for that baby.

This is some of the more early evidence I have. He is just learning how to hold a baby here. You can see JT isn't in the most comfortable position.

Here Dave plays hide and seek with TWO babies.

I don't even know who this baby is but he still held her!

His love for babies is world wide....here he is with a few Sudanese babies!

Korean baby! :)

SO THERE YOU GO... the truth: DAVE is a BABY LOVER!!!!
