Hey all!
So I finally got on top of things and figured out how to put videos on this silly site, so here are 6 or 7 of my favorites underneath.
We'll start with a cutie of Aug and Kel.
Click on the Purple Links to see videos. Give them some time if you have a slower speed connection. It may take a while even with broadband.
Love you, Jeff
By the way, I have a glass of wine. I am home alone with Augie asleep, and I am bawling as I put up each of these videos. Here's one which I think is hysterical.
What is that?

Here we are... almost a year old, exploring the backyard outdoors!
Horray, a giant hill for us to climb on. We found lots of rocks and sticks
What's this! A hand full of dirt... oh Augie, so smart, sifiting through the dirt for treasures
But wait, where did all that dirt go... in your mouth, oh, well, that must be a sign of greatness too!
A true respect for the sacred land, a desire to experience all of creation with our mighty senses!

This is Jeff. This is actually my first post on the blog, and I will tell you why. You see I am really the only responsible parent in the household. Just look...
...Augie learning bad posture from a video.
...ah, Kelly sleeping when she's supposed to be watching the man.
I say, "Augie, stuff as much stuff in your mouth as possible and then show to me.....Good Boy."
Here Augie has put an entire quarter shaped cereal wheel in his mouth. He's pretty advanced for his age.
Now we are starting on large gords!
We're also working on reading. Now we started with some nice picture books just a week ago, but now...
...we are dipping into higher level philosophy.
Here Augie has selected from the book shelf William L. Rowe's "God and the Problem of Evil."
(Psst...It's upside down buddy.)
Stay tuned. The man is a walking fool recently, and I will hopefully figure out to videos on here shortly.
Much love,
Kelly and Jeff

...adding him to the wash. It is all a tragic cycle, really.
I, on the other hand, am teaching him how to eat.

Merry Christmas! (our Christmas letter... for posterity and just incase you missed it)
Because this paper just won’t afford the space, and to show you how high-techie we have become, we will give you a website to venture to with each of our entries. This will tell you far more information than we can muster in one little letter.
To begin: The joy of our life has been Augustine! Born Feb 12th he has thus far lived up to his in-utero nick-name: Hurricane Augie. Jeff and Kel agree that the most standout lesson our son has taught us is how to be less selfish! It has been the most amazing learning experience, to be parents… and truly the most wonderful. I always thought that people felt they had to say how much they loved their children after an hour of saying how difficult it was to give up freedom, sleep, eating hot meals, making out on the couch or reading a more than one page of a book at a time. I now really understand that you can love someone more than you thought possible, even when they can be the most draining… I guess it is because he is the most filling too. For lots of pictures and updates you can frequent: http://augiebloggie.blogspot.com/
Jeff and Kel and several dear friends started a church in August. Just a week ago we moved into a fantastic new building. We are so blessed to have a congregation of about 40 dedicated, loving people beginning this experiment with us. How amazing it has been. Our goal is to reach the college and post-college aged people on the UNC campus who have never found a community with whom they could love and experience God. This has been such a blessing to us, to serve with and be served by the people of Atlas. As further proof of God’s graciousness, Jeff has been asked to submit his resume to the UNC philosophy department with the possibility of a job in the fall. Cross your fingers for us… better yet pray! To see the church go to http://www.whatisatlas.com/home To read up on Jeff’s one-day-I’ll-write-a-book thoughts (so you can say you knew him when) go to http://healingmalchus.blogspot.com/
Kel has been working part time for Frontier High School, and gets to do some administrative work from home. It has been a wonderful year. The kids love Augie. They think he is their own! I still love to teach, maybe more than ever. It feels like a great balance of stay at home mom and freedom to work. The best part is that Jeff and Kel get to “baby swap” which means one parent is always with the boy. We have also had a great deal of help from our families… as you can imagine, they hate to baby-sit ;). To see her school go to: http://frontieracademy.net/
We have loved to see our friends and family grow with us and support us. We hope you will have blessings in the New Year… and to see each of you soon and often!

Marmie and Papa got to have the first Christmas experience with us of the season... they came to visit last weekend and Augie got all sorts of great stuff! Unfortunately he did not think that opening the gifts was all that great, but he loves his OU outfit... go Sooners (I try not to say that too loud, as all our money went to CU)
