Christian I (Dad)– Today is a special day. My wife, Rebekah is typing for me! So maybe she will tell us something
today! (No pressure, LOL).
At the end of the last blog, I left you watching my family
drive through the town of Deerfield looking for somewhere to eat our fresh
pizzas. If you remember I just grabbed
up the four kids after class at Trinity, left the mad house of an apartment on
campus, and bought some hot delicious pizza from Whole Foods.
“ZOWIE”! There was an
open picnic bench in the middle of a grassy area that I just saw, and we were
about to stop. Now, mind you, I was
terribly hungry and paid little attention to anything else except for the hot
pizzas in my hand. In fact, I’m
surprised that I had my pants on the right way, and I didn’t lose any children at
the point. LOL.
We sat down at the bench, prayed, and dove face first into
some deliciously hot pizza paradise. It
was rush hour and people were just starting to get off of work. Pretty soon, I saw a man walking to the
grassy area with a dog (no big deal).
Then, I saw a lot more people pull up in the parking lot and walk into
my pizza-paradise-grassy-park with all different types of puppies..... I don’t know where I lost control!
After a close study of the area, I REALIZED THAT I WAS IN
FACT INSIDE A DOG PARK. I honestly had
no idea. I had four children (who were all very small), a couple of pizzas, a
beautiful wife, and our perimeter was now completely surrounded with canine
communists-LOL. I’m surprised no one got
bit, but a couple of the dogs were standing up with their front paws on the
table checking out the pizza. So, what
do you do now super DAD?
I just kept all of the children at the table and we finished
our meal totally ignoring the four-legged invaders all around us. We caught some flak from some of the dog
owners. I remember one guy in particular
saying, “Bringing pizzas to a dog park with children…..not such a good idea”
(almost singing it). So I sang back, “I
didn’t know it was dog park!”. The whole
thing was very musical – LOL
Okay, as I write this, my wife says there was a sign. As I was walking backwards out of this place,
I remember specifically looking for a sign ... and I didn’t see any. I love how God puts men and women together- so
the woman can bail us out when us men are blind. However, at the time, I DON’T RECALL MY WIFE
SAYING ANYTHING! Now that I think about it, there was a strange giggling noise
going on the whole time. I love my
wife-LOL.
Today I feel like Samson in a wheelchair. It’s a great day, I walked around the block
with my children in single file, and for some reason having that small road
march put a huge smile on my face and a song in my heart. Let’s see who else joins this blog with me.
DOGPARK (DON'T MISS THE SIGN) :( - LOL
Rebekah (SuperMom)- (I will speak for her-she’s exhausted). I’m very proud of my wife, she started
exercising regularly last week.... and this week she started exercising twice a
day. Honestly, all of us are very proud
of Mom. Exercising, schooling all of the
children and managing to make all of the food for 7 children as well as taking
care of a disabled veteran and a diabetic 3-year old...SHWEW.....I'M OUT OF BREATH.
She’s starting to blush so I better stop now.
REBEKAH - OUR SUPERMOM !!
God bless you friend... :)
