------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fashion Week - Blog coming
July 1, 2009
Quick post ... a real blog entry coming ... but Amanda is holding a "Fashion Week" on her blog, so go vote for who you think is the best at http://amandabethonline.blogspot.com. Course, I think Meliss should clearly be the winner, but being her husband probably makes me a little bias. :-) Anyway, ta ta!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyday Life Returns
June 20, 2009
Hello everyone! Well, life is seemingly back to normal ... as normal as possible, at least. :-) Hope and pray you all are doing well! Little Locksley gives his deepest regards to everyone.
I think most of you have seen this by now, but if not, here's a little video Meliss and I did in an evening for Jeff Flynn's recent birthday. William makes his first acting debut, and a phenomenal one at that.
In other news, Amanda Flynn stops by this Tuesday to stay with us for a week and a half. We'll be going to that Vision Forum seminar in St. Louis after we pick her up. The following Friday we'll drop her off at the airport and then spend our 1st anniversary back in St. Louis. A nice hotel, fireworks ... it should be fantastic! Can you believe it? We'll have been married a year! Doesn't it seem like yesterday when we had our medieval wedding? Unbelievable. The Lord has done so much in such a short time it's astounding. We are so grateful, and still as madly in love as that very first day.
You obviously all know by now that I'm a Robin Hood fan. Next year a new film is to be released starring Russell Crowe as Robin Hood (he starred in Gladiator). Anyway, I've been following its progress since last year, and filming is underway with a release date of around May, 2010. I'm slightly amped for this movie. Can't necessarily endorse it now, as I know very little about it, but I love the overall look so far of costumes and historical authenticity. So ... just thought you'd enjoy a few behind-the-scenes shots here.
Russell rides his stallion.
An oceanside battle.
Looks like Normans.
Some promotional shots for the movie. That guy's brave.
Anyway, will try to post another video of William we recorded the other day sometime this week. May the Lord richly bless you all!
After filming, we took a few beauty shots.
Could definitely pass for sweet sixteen.
One more.
Kinda fun to be dressy out in nature.
Brad Steele with his new lawnmower, baby! That thing is sweet! Paparazzi's swarming like flies!!!
See anything new? Check out that clock. I positioned it with absolute and total perfection.
Hey little yeoman.
Big yawn!
It's June, and you know what that means! Blueberry picking time! I think I have a blueberry blog post for the last three or four years.
But now ... I have my wonderful wife joining me.
My mom always dresses the part.
Keoni is just so cute. We're about 100% sure he's ENFP. All smiles.
Every time I look at him ... a smile.
Jeremy Sanchez ... sporting his sombrero.
Can we go?
"Doddy ... my underponts need chaunging."
Chattin' with Nathan after Locksley's royal bath.
So we go to this special sale at Children's Orchard where you stuff all you can into a bag for 5 bucks. So we get there like 10 minutes early ... big mistake. Outside the tiny little store was a giant horde of desperate mothers in riotous array. With my helmet and shin guards I was able to momentarily clear a path for Meliss and Willy to break through and actually come away with some great outfits.
Long day for the both of us.
With Mrs. Long at co-op. "You know, that's exactly the way he looks right before he's about to ..."
Locksley in his new Bumbo from Nathan! Thanks so much! He can't fully support his head yet, as you can see, so it'll be a little while longer before Will finally takes the cockpit.
Sick of all those perfectly positioned, clean-cut baby pictures? Here's the real deal! Yummo!
Brad begs the question ... is your baby a Beco Baby? Happy Father's Day.
