Monday Morning!

Well it seemed to be a great weekend. We went out of town to spend some time with family and go to a family party that is held each year on the last Saturday of October. It was really nice and I think both Debbie and Emily had fun. Emily did great in the car and we didn't have to stop any for her the whole way. We are now back after a good weekend and we are starting a long week of work. Here are is a picture I took this weekend of Emily in her "chic" suit. Also check out my Southern Photography page to see more pictures. Oh Fable 2 is now out and I have heard great things about it. I am so waiting to get it. Once our bills are paid and we are back on our feet again I hope to get the game. I would also like a Xbox360 so I could play the game. But who knows maybe in a few years or months when they are cheap I can get one then. LOL Okey I watch Trading Spouses on CMT this morning while Emily was taking her nap. Today's show they have one mom who is big into new age and one mom who is some big Christian Freak. Okey I have watched a few of the shows where Christians get on it and shout, yell and tell everyone they are all going to Hell. This mom today made me sick of Christians. When she got home back to her family she jumped up and down yelling about how she crossed over to the "Dark-Side" when she went to the other family. The sad thing was the new age family was really nice to this lady even when she told them they were going to burn in Hell for the way the live. I was so shocked in that this is how Christians treat people. I am not sure why, I have seen this before but I guess I just forgot how some people are. Oh, at the end of show the lady trashed the letter the other lady gave her and said she would not take the $50,000 from Evil and she was yelling at the camera crew If they where not Godly Christians and if they where on the "dark-side" to get the **** out of her Home "In the name of Jesus". Oh my what are these people thinking? WOW.... That is something. To find out more about it check out Trading Spouses Shows. On one show I watched a few weeks ago the mom told a 5 year old he would be burning in Hell for talking back to her. CRAZY!!
-Rebel Dad

Rebal Dad!

Did you know that back in 2006 there were 159,000 stay at home dads. They say that in the past few years that number has grown over time to nearly 400 or 500 thousand. There is 2.9 million preschoolers today cared for by their dads while mom is at work. It seems that I have become one of the 100s of Stay-at-Home dads or what some call Rebel Dads. Why use the word "Rebel Dad" There is no good way to refer to a father who serves as primary caregiver. "Househusband" sounds dated, "stay-at-home dad" too long (and the acronym -- SAHD too depressing) and otherwise problematic. "Mr. Mom" is offensive. So it is a name for us "stay-at-home dads" that captures something positive, something edgy in todays modern world. So over the next year we will see what happens in my life as a "Rebel Dad". :)
In His Grip,

Turn on the Heat!

Turn on the heat was the first thing that was on my mind this morning as I sat in bed not wanting to get out of the bed to the icily cold air. I think it is time to turn on the heat when you see ice coming off the windows and you can see the the hot air coming out of your month when you talk. So I picked out something more to where today. No shorts and T-shirt today. When I woke Emily up this morning for her feeding I noticed a warm baby with a hat on her head. I guess Debbie felt it was cold this morning too. I had to take a picture of Emily as she looked really cute. Later today I could hear Carolina (the dog) barking like crazy out side and I saw the car trying to come inside the house like something was after them. I took a look outside and saw a young deer standing in the back yard just standing tall and look right at the dog. I was not sure if it was going to run away or attack the dog. I did want any person living in the woods would have done. I ran in the house and grabbed the camera. (LoL did you think I was going for the gun?!? Heck no! I am not going to miss out on a good shot.) After only getting a few shots in (camera shots) Carolina ran after it almost braking her skyline and the deer ran down the hill off into the woods. It was young but would make a great kill when it gets older.
Oh well that was the highlights of my day!
