Cocoa Beach on the Atlantic
Sydney making time during collecting her sea shells. That was the highlight of her day. Wasn't too fond of the big waves and the salt. Having a great time but missing Cooper.
Fun in the Atlantic Ocean
Owen, taking time out from his busy day at the beach. He loved the water even though it was quite cold. He and his cousin Jake got pretty close to the big waves in the background but gave up after he got knocked under the water.
We already got to see Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, the Atlantic Ocean and the Kennedy Space Center. Next up Epcot, Sea World, and Hollywood Studios.

Steelers!
Those of you who know me know that I am a big Steelers fan. Although growing up in SD i was made to watch the Vikings every Sunday. After a while I was fooled into thinking I was a Viking fan, so now I root for both of them. My dad said that he is a Viking fan too, but then why did we go to the Barn after church every Sunday instead of rush home and turn on the game? But if they play head-to-head I will take the Steelers everytime. Nonetheless, I will be rooting for both teams come this playoff time.
I don't give the Vikings much of a shot to make the Super Bowl but stranger things have happend and it depends on what team shows up, how well T-jack plays and if AP can hold onto the football.
The Steelers on the other hand have one of the best defenses of all-time as evidenced by only allowing 300 yards once this season, which is an NFL record. They also went 12-4 against what all experts agreed was the toughest schedule in NFL history. They played the Giants, Patriots, Chargers, Jaguars, Colts, Ravens twice, Eagles, Titans, Redskins, and Cowboys. Save for a botched hike on a punt and two tipped passes they would have probably beaten the Colts and the Giants. No excuses against the Eagles and the Titans they just kicked our tails. So this should be a fun and long playoffs for both of my teams but as the picture below shows, you see where my alliance falls.

Christmas Presents!
Well first of Ann and I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We also hope that you all remembered the reason for the season, which does not include helping the struggling economy, but the birth of our saviour Jesus Christ and would recommend the book, 23 Minutes in Hell.
But Ann and I did recieve two wonderful gifts this Christmas season and it includes our two boys. First on Christmas Eve Owen, who will turn 3 in a week, decided that he would start going potty and poopy on the toilet. Besides one really small accident, it has been a tremendous success. Now he just runs to the bathroom and does his business. If he runs out with his pants down that means that he went #2 and we need to wipe him otherwise he is good to go. The first time he went potty we were all there watching, including Sydney. After he was done Ann said that he needed some toilet paper to wipe himself and that he just needs to dab himself. Sydney told her that boys just shake it off and that they don't need any tissue paper.
The second big present is the fact that Cooper has started crawling. It just happend on Saturday night after a week of being on all fours and rocking and diving. Now I have to put the gate back up again, so that will be my project on Sunday after the Steelers and Vikings games. Some people might not say that Cooper crawling is a present, because after all we know need to keep an eye on him at all times and as I memtioned above I need to put up the gate. But the way I look at things is that it is a huge developmental step for him and we are so proud.
Our Christmas week began with Ann's parents at our house for Christmas eve and Chrstmas day. Santa came and brought the kids plenty of toys. We then traveled to Huron Christmas evening through Saturday and are ready to be home. We always have a huge meal with my family, but this time we had 3 of them. Foods included were: King crab legs, jumbo cocktail shrimp, ham, super duper potatoes, tiramasu, prime rib, and of course all the snacking in between. And yes mom the prime rib was very good.
We had a wonderful time with our family and love them dearly. It was good to see Aaron and Shiela all the way from Chicago and it is always fun to see Sydney and Owen playing with their wonderful cousins. Some complain that they can choose their friends but are stuck with their family. I would say that Ann and I couldn't choose our families any better than what God gave us.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!!!!
