Dang!
I just typed a gob of stuff and lost it all on the upload! I hate that!
The two pictures below are from today. The one with snow was from this morning. The other one is from this afternoon.
The picture of the park is Washington Park which we biked to. Not an impressive picture but I pulled the bike trailer there last weekend. Round trip 22 miles so I feel compelled to share. The park is apparently very popular as there are tons of people there.
The boys and I played dodge ball last night. The boys would linger in the hallway or rather dodge from one door in the hallway to another as I would whip the nerf football down the hall. The boys were laughing uncontrollably. They would go to the end of the hallway and whip it back at me and we continued this for about an hour until I accidentally hit Seb in the side of the face with the ball which ended the fun. I let Seb take a pot-shot at me which brought his uncontrolled laughing back.
Cherity is out right now. She's at a restaurant called Little India meeting some new people that have common interests in parenting technique. Hopefully she's having a good time and is getting to know some people.
I have to hit the hay early tonight so I'll have to get the boys to go to bed pretty soon here. I play b-ball on Friday mornings with some work folk. My shooting has really been sucking but I have had a few good blocks. My lankiness is typically underestimated, I think. Cherity and I also have joined an athletic club that has baby sitting services. We're looking forward to doing that. We haven't gone yet. I'm trying to decide whether I want to go in the morning or during lunch. I'm not sure yet.
I talked a little bit in my previous post about a few movies I've seen but I don't know if I have it in me to re-type my thoughts. I feel like I'm being redundant. I have Into the Wild sitting next to the TV and I'm looking forward to watching that because I read the book. It's a story about a 20 something kid who sells everything his own and lives a wanderer and goes to Alaska to live off the land.
I also just saw There Will Be Blood. There's something very intense about the main character that keeps you in to the movie. It's definitely the character. There was also something about the movie that reminded me of my childhood going to a fire-and-brimstone church. I wasn't sure if it was a few emotional church services they had in it or if it was how separate the main character kept himself from everyone including his own son. The church I grew up in followed the motto religiously to keep yourself "in the world but not of this world". I can't tell you how many times I heard that and how I mentally believed that at a young age. The main characters reasons were more due to his competitive nature and his distrust and dislike of people but the feeling I got still reminded me of the loneliness I felt as a kid and I can't blame that loneliness on the church, but I guess I did subconsciously blame that loneliness on allowing myself to take a sermon and allow it to effect how I acted because I wanted to be a good boy.
Well, I think that was everything I typed before in a nutshell.

Doesn't sound like you are too positive about Church...
