The Digital Dad

We did it! The Perrys have bought their first home. It’s a beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home on an acre lot in an amazing neighborhood near many of our friends. We closed on Friday and are beginning to move today. There are so many wonderful features about our new house; things like a fully fenced in back yard with a playset for the kids, whirlpool tub for Mommy, and separate 2-car garage/shop for Daddy. But truthfully, the single greatest feature of our new home is that it’s ours. It is our home. It’s not a nice place we rent from someone else, it’s ours. And forever and ever it always will be. Honey, we’re home!

The Easter Bunny brought Liam his first ever big boy bike. He loves riding around our cul de sac but can’t wait until we take it to the park.

This morning before Mommy woke up baby Piper and Daddy spent some time finding our hands. I think we pretty well know where they are now. Maybe tomorrow morning we’ll look for our feet.

What a GREAT day! The first snowfall of 2010; Mommy, Daddy, Liam, and Piper all home to enjoy it. Scootter and Page joined us for some fun in the snow. We took turns shooshing each other down the driveway on the sled. I can’t think of a better way to ring in the new year. Lots of pics over on the photos page.

So the “Keep it out of Murray” group is now circulating a petition to repeal ALL alcohol sales in Murray, INCLUDING existing restaurant sales. This is getting ridiculous. If you’re against alcohol consumption, don’t drink it and don’t frequent venues that provide it. Attempting to revoke the rights of others to purchase alcohol is, in my opinion, petty and unjust. If you have moral or religious beliefs that you feel obligate you to fight against alcohol, then be a positive witness for your cause and beliefs. Present yourself and your opinion with dignity and allow those to whom you witness to decide for themselves what course to follow. Repealing alcohol sales because your church and your faith oppose it is, in my opinion, equivalent to a good old fashioned book-burning. “We think these books present dangerous ideas and instead of allowing our citizens to determine for themselves whether those ideas are harmful, we as a community opt to remove them from our glorious and faithful commune.” Before travelling too far down this particular road, I recommend some people review “The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg” by Mark Twain. Or heck, Footloose was on TBS last night. And we all love Kevin Bacon. Mmm, Bacon. At any rate, until this whole matter is settled I’ll see you all at the Apple on Saturday night and at church on Sunday morning.
