andrea and i played a show last week in norwalk and made a date night out of it, went out to dinner at buca di beppos. so good. i yelled "buca!" and got the employees all riled up. the show was fun, played lots of new songs and covers we never get to play. might do that more often.
we took our christmas pictures at JC Penny yesterday. i'll sum it up with this: owen yelling, doing buzz light year poses, with blood dripping down his face from taking off a bandaid (which he is wearing in the photos), esme running in circles in christmas pajamas trying to pull down the background curtain. the picture lady had sweat dripping down her face. disaster, and loving every minute of it. you have to have fun with it. actually esme did really good. owen on the other hand... we had a great day.
could never have imagined being this busy. more routine every year, and i am growing more and more content with it. everyday is hard work no matter what with these kids. We don't sleep enough, things like having a clean house or cool style house or whatever don't really exist. we spend our quality time together as a couple late at night after the kids went to bed around 8 and we spent a couple hours catching up on... everything. Andrea is a machine. we are looking into buying a house up here. i have realized through getting depressed about not playing music more or sitting around thinking about all we wish we could do, that if we were in those situations we would probably long for what we have right here and now. that God probably saved me from wasting time with things that don't glorify him or make any differences. realizing how easy it is to get caught up in our own significance. and with all the crazy politics, i just hope good people don't judge good people on their political veiws, as if someone has it all figured out...
ONE IN THE SAME
to the saints
give up your fame
we're one in the same
to the faint
lift up your head
see that instead
we're one in the same
to the preachers
down from your thrones
lay down your stones
we're one in the same
to all you children
the young and the wise
the old and the bold
we're one in the same
bring your joy
bring your pain
we come in here different
but we're leaving the same
well you call yourself a lover
you call yourself a sinner
you call yourself nothing
but we're one in the same

love it.
I always love to hear what is going on with you four. So happy for you guys. Good luck on buying a house I wish that I could come down and work on it with you and your brother. Thought the song was great and I think about the first time I heard you. You and Andrea covered Cyndi Lauper at Simpson next to the bookstore. It was amazing.
i'd like a picture please. is that a new song? love it. we should record all these acoustic songs one afternoon. love you.
