The Son I Never Knew I Really Wanted.

My lone compadre in a sea of femininity
I confess I always enjoyed the thought of a houseful of girls. They share clothes, toys, make-up (the play kind), hair “thingys”, and even the bathroom. One Y chromosome in the house was enough, far as I was concerned. I was happy with my two girls, Mel and Sam, and figured any additions would best just be more riblets.
Now, I find myself with three girls and an eight year old boy. Pretty good stuff. We go fishing regularly with my dad and nephews. He went to work with me tiling one day, and was the reason I finished on time. He fights with his sisters, locks the doors when he gets in the car before them, fawns after the teenage girls in the youth group, and can fog up the car when he takes off his shoes. All in all, he’s well on target for growing into a fine young man.
Jackson definitely acts sometimes like he has always been surrounded by girls. He dances a little too well to the songs from High School Musical. But he is all boy. And I enjoy having another man in the house, though this one hasn’t figured out how to operate the seat.
Agape…

you need to stop embarrassing your kids on the world wide web.
Jackson is cool though, however this “High School Musical” may turn out to be a problem and should be delt with immediately. haha
doesn’t know how to operate the seat?
i probably don’t want to know.

My wife says she is drowning in a sea of testosterone…even our dog is a boy.
God through you a lifeline in Jackson!

You should update your blog more often… though I’m not one to speak.
Also,
I miss you.
