In good writing, words become one with things.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The people who influence us most are not those who buttonhole us and talk to us, but those who live their lives like the stars in heaven and the lilies in the field, perfectly simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mould us. ~Oswald Chambers

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

Birthday Surprise

My sweet wife cleaned our garage out for me in one day of very hard work - I've been agonizing over the hazardous obstacle course in there for years. Also my car has been cooking in the sun. So in true sweet Sarah style, she cleaned a very very messy garage, cleaned out my car (peeeeyooo old food), anddid it all with a smile. She arranged donations, electronics disposal (heavy!), and I don't know what else to make it all happen. Thank you, sweety!

Sarah Melissa Johnson

Sarah Melissa Johnson (Ingersoll) is my wife. I've begun to realize how important it is for a person to openly confess their love for their spouse on a regular basis. Something more than an arm around the shoulder or a kiss on the cheek. So I want to tell you about Sarah, and what a beautiful person she is. This is a little scattered, but I have to finish it before the end of the day :)

Sweet

This is just a quick update to say how much I love my girls. Sarah and Aria are beyond sweet. Even when they're irritable they're sweet :) They truly balance me out... I hope I can be what they need as well.

This is just a random picture I have here at work of Aria. I'll put one up of Sarah when I get home. They're both sick right now, and it's so sad. Too bad that means I have to do twice as much stuff around the house. OR I could just put it all off until Sarah feels better :)

Sickness, Society, and Snow

Well, Aria has just recovered from a cold, and Sarah was hit firmly in the head with the flu yesterday. Which means Aria will get that too. And I will slowly fight it for a week or two and then succumb. Yeesh.

We ate at the Pacific Pearl yesterday. Nice but overpriced. Very good wait staff, very slow kitchen. I got the dish called Evil Jungle Prince Curry just because the name was so cool. The waitress just smiled and nodded when I told her that. I think I've lost my boyish charm at some point along the way. Anyway it was just yellow Thai curry.

3 Months In

Well, not only have I been learning how to be a daddy to a newborn, but work has been nuts (not in a very positive way) so no entries for three months. Aria is amazing. Every parent says that I guess. It's amazing to see a little Sarah with my blue eyes! She grows so quickly;lifting her little bobbing head to peer about and making little chirps when she's struck by something which only babies care about.

Sarah has settled into being a mother so easily; she is a natural mother and is fiercely in love with Ari (we call her Ari to save a syllable).
