Is it really November already?

So apparently I often fail to remember that I have a blog as I have not updated it since Hudson wasn’t even a month old. Now he’s 7 months, ginormous, and about to be on the go.

Here is his for Halloween:

Other things that have happened:

Lost 14 pounds (been back in the gym)
Got a new roof (not exactly by choice)
Hudson was baptized
Ran a fall instructional program for the Wake Forest Wizards of Fusion Lacrosse

Best of all I continue to have a wonderful family, amazing friends, and waking up every day. Can’t really ask for much more.

One more day of lent

I have done ha great job of keeping my Lenten promise of no Facebook and no Twitter. However, lent ends Sunday morning and that brings the question of whether to return. It’s obvious I spent a lot of time on the sites since after 40 days of not visiting them they are still #5 & #6 resper on my Google chrome most visited sites.

I think Twitter is a go. Really Facebook is the question. I suppose we shall see!

Also, Hudson will be FOUR WEEKS OLD in less than 12 hours. It’s crazy to think how it seems like we’ve just gotten him and that it feelsa we’ve had him forever simultaneously! Will be sure to post a good picture tomorrow!

16 Days Later

Well, we’ve managed to keep Hudson alive for two weeks and we’re no worse for the wear! In fact we are starting to get into a nice little schedule that allows everyone enough sleep to feel human again!

Week two brought in a lot of visitors including GK and Granddaddy (My parents), Aunt Bettye, Cousins Lisa and Saundra, my brother Harlan, sister Lexie, and a host of local friends too! We also made our first trip to church with no problems!

I posed two albums from last week. One of a mini photo shoot Jamie did on Tuesday and another of all the visitors and week’s events. You can find all of the pictures we posted so far at http://hudson.damianhall.net.

We’re really excited to get his professional pictures done next week by Ray Barbour

In other EXCITING news Hudson’s little cousin McKenzie was born on Monday April 4th! She is the newest member of the Hall family AND the newest member of Club 4 (we have a lot of people born on 4ths in our family)! So welcome to the world McKenzie. And welcome to the sleepless life Harman and Soraya!

I think that’s enough disjointed babble for an afternoon!

I Feel Disconaketed

It is 13 days into the Lenten celebration. So far I have not made a single visit to either Facebook or Twitter.

I took some self-preventative measures to make sure that I received as little communication from the social networking sites as possible. I have created rules in my email, changed my password, and removed shortcuts and phone apps from my computing devices. So it would take a concerted effort on my part to even log in!

I’ll admit the first couple days were hard. I found my mouse unconsciously traveling to where the bookmarks use to be. I would make note of daily observations worthy of a “tweet” only to remember that my ego-inflating perception that people find my comments poignant and witty would have to go unfulfilled! it also doesn’t help that the native Facebook app on the Android does not seem willing to be removed, and randomly pops up sometimes when I turn on the phone, but I’m still holding strong.

Still no baby, don’t know how much longer he’s going to last. Poor guy has almost NO room in there. Still haven’t figured out how I will alert the world since I don’t have access to my passwords for social networks….hmmmm

Phillipians 1:11

I don’t read the bible as much as I probably should. Normally when I am thinking over an important, if not critical, decision I will turn the question to God. And simply ask “What is it I need to remember/think/know/learn…?”

More often than not it is only a few moments, how long is that exactly, before something pops into my head. When it does I am often compelled to read the answer. Tonight I was brought to Phillipans 1:11, which starts and 1:9

⁹And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, ¹⁰so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, ¹¹filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

And it was exactly what I needed to read.
