tj went to his first Easter egg hunt today. westerville had a egg hunt just for special need children and we had so much fun. t.j won a monkey and got a Easter basket with a duck in the basket. When Jon was getting him in the car he took his toys from him and tj cried and got mad till he gave them back in the car. Tj never cries over a toy and I was shocked that he got so upset. Tj also got to see the Easter bunny, at first he just looked at him like "who are you" the bunny rubbed his face and gave him a handshake and then t.j started laughing.

tay choir recital

happy st. Patrick's day

I wanted you guys to see my lil shamrock. ( he is getting so big)

come on warm weather!!!!!!!!

I cant wait till it gets warmer because I know it is baseball season. T.j plays ball with the miracle league of Ohio and I love watching how much fun he has. Every year when they say "this is the last game of the season" he starts crying. If you have never heard of the miracle league of Ohio you need to go to ohiomiracleleague.org. If you live in Columbus, you need to drive out and watch a game you will love it and want to go back every weekend. The people that run the miracle league are the best. They come out every Saturday and stay from 9am till 6pm for 2 months, now that is dedication. I don't think that they even have a son or daughter playing on any of the teams.

Okay, I found a video of tay when she was done with her recital.

John Holt: Has she thanked you for anything you've done the last 20 days? Caleb Holt: No! And you'd think after I washed the car, I've changed the oil, do the dishes, cleaned the house, that she would try to show me a little bit of gratitude. But she doesn't! In fact, when I come home, she makes me like I'm - like I'm an enemy! I'm not even welcome in my own home, Dad. That is what really ticks me off! Dad, for the last three weeks, I have bent over backwards for her. I have tried to demonstrate that I still care about this relationship. I bought her flowers, which she threw away. I have taken her insults and her sarcasm, but last night was it. I made dinner for her. I did everything I could to demonstrate that I care about her, to show value for her, and she spat in my face! She does not deserve this, Dad. I'm not doing it anymore! How am I supposed to show love to somebody over and over and over who constantly rejects me? John Holt: [touches, then leans against cross] That's a good question

When I was watching fireproof and I heard this said I cried and cried. I always want god to take all my problems and stress out of my life, but I have never had a true open relationship with him. When ever something goes wrong in my life I always say"god were are you? why do you make me hurt so much and fall so hard." I felt that line in the movie was beeing spoken straight to me.
