I’m looking forward to Father’s Day. My first Father’s Day, as a dad, I blogged in 2006.
Little Luke on my First Father’s Day
Then I had my first official Father’s Day and blogged about it in 2007.
Luke on my second Father’s Day
Well, my third Father’s Day is just around the corner. It’s hard to believe - the time travels fast, but no complaints, Luke is at such a fun age and is so delightful to play and live with. Today we went on a hike in Oak Lawn at what we call the “secret river” - a beautiful hidden man made river tucked away in a busy suburb just a few houses from my wife’s folks. Granted, its more of a drainage ditch than a “river” but its still pretty beautiful. Especially a walk with daddy and son…
We started out around the block and discovered a hidden bridge! the ends led to a chain link fence that was chained and locked, but could be entered from the side quite easily.
There’s just something fun about going exploring!
Look at that happy boy!
Just too cute!
What fun hiking and climbing around!
It looks like a real river anyway.
Awwwwwwwww
I wonder where this path goes?
Later, we got the sidewalk chalk out.
Not quite a Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet or Pierre-Auguste Renoir, but I did my best.
Father’s Day 2008 here I come!
Being a dad is the greatest thing in the world!

OK, I somehow missed this at Christmas, but it is SO GOOD it is worth posting in January… have your Kleenex ready, its a tear jerker…
There are so many subtle jokes that only true fans will catch, but even a casual Star Wars fan will still get a laugh out of it! ENJOY!

HERE IS YOUR ELEVENTH CHRISTMAS TALE: A ToyBox Tale Christmas
This was a fun tale to make. My entire K.C. Krew helped write it and did the acting, er, voicing of the characters. The angel, which caused the most controversy (not too bad) was done by the senior pastor’s son, so that helped. But overall the kids did a great job! And since this was made in my pre-Mac days, I need to give credit to Jim Crouter, the youth pastor at my previous church who did all the editing, music and title screens for me. It turned out fantastic! ENJOY!
From The ToyBox Tales Christmas DVD.
