Jenn, you are not on this website nearly enough, so here is a whole post dedicated to you, but I had to sneak myself in there too Anyway, I love you sis. You are going to be an awsome Aunt.

So Scooter is doing really well since her eye replacement a few months back. She has really embrassed her new found life style, and I thought I would share some things with you.

1. She really likes to keep an “eye” on things when we are not home.
2. She gives me the “eye” when I do not feed her on time.
3. She loves Pirates, I am not sure why.
4. Sometimes when I tell her to go get her ball, she chases her eye.
5. She only chases squirrels on the left side of the yard.

She can still lick with one eye though, there is no shortage of that. We love you Scooter.

I originally wrote this the night we found out we were pregnant, its time to share it.

I cant post this yet, which is torture, but I needed to write it down now, so this was actually written Monday May 7th 2007.

So this weekend goes down in the memory books as one of the biggest and life changing events so far in the life of Greg and Jackie. In the days leading up to Sunday night my heart was telling me that something was true, the signs where there, but the proof was not. We needed the proof. So Jackie bought a Pregnancy test, and 3 minutes turned into a life time. The result? and there you have it. Sometime in January 2008 a new member of the Hogan family will appear. I said I knew in my heart long before the test confirmed that it was true, I have known in my heart for about 3 days. Seeing Joey and Kelly with Danny this weekend, as he sat on the table taking his first real bites of food I knew I wanted to be a Dad, I needed to be a Dad. My life is changing, my heart is growing, and God has decided that now is the time. We did not plan this, God planned this. This reminded us that we are not in control, as much as we like to think we are. But God has new plans, bigger plans, and now we will honor those plans. It’s time to change course, and bring some new love into the world.

How do I feel? Thrilled, overwhelmed, excited, scared, mellowed, serious, calm, nervous…the list goes on, but over all I feel blessed and am very proud of my wife. I look forward to our family.

Please continue to keep Danny in your prayers over the coming weeks as he continues his healing process. The latest update is he is doing very well and is able to sit up with Mom and Dad in the bed and is stronger then ever. His Mom and Dad are doing very well and have shown tremendous strength and faith through this stressful time.

#A: Ivy’s Birthday Pictures are online under the gallery. Sorry it took so long.

#2: If you use Mozilla Firefox to look at the website its all messed up, I don’t really feel like fixing it because I just don’t really know how or have the time. So use IE or not.
*FIXED, Just for you Kelly and Jackie.*

#C: I added some music to the right, so if you want to tune in for some tunes as you read be my guest. I added David Crowder as the artist to base the selections off of. Just for you Jackie.
*Actually I changed this to “Third Day” wanted it to be more rock like, but I think I will keep rotating it until I find exactly what I like*

Ok thats all.

My mom mailed Jackie and I this picture today, and it really brought joy to my soul of what I can look forward to soon. Thanks Mom.

Dear Honda, I want to thank you for being so good to me, I know I am on borrowed time, but I wanted to take this moment to thank you for not breaking down when I know you should have by now.

I am sorry that you look like a motor cycle at night because one of your head lights does not work. I know that confuses your on coming buddies.

I am sorry that the break light is on, I know you hate seeing that red light as much as I do. I know you need new breaks, but thank you for continuing to stop each time I hit the pedal.

I am sorry your A/C is broken, its really hot outside right now, and that sure sucks for both of us. I sure hate sweating each day on the way home.

I am sorry your CV joints knock like a collection agency at the front door wanting their money every time we make a turn.

I am sorry your transmission is knocking, I hear it knocking too, but it cant come in.

I am sorry the stereo volume only works when its above 90 degree’s outside because the glue has melted on the volume knob and allows us to adjust it.

I am sorry only 1 out of 4 speakers work at any given time, I am just as baffled by that as you are. It sure freaks me out when the driver side front speaker kicks in all of a sudden, there nothing like having a mild heart attack driving down the road.

I just ask that you hang in there a little bit longer, I will help you get the little things fixed, just be strong a little bit longer Little Honda. Together we can make it to work each day, if we just pray a little bit each morning as we do our morning and evening commutes together.

Today is Chris Bloodworths Birthday! So without further ado, here is a new Limerick.

There is fella I know named Chris B.

His red hair makes any Irish man see green

with a rockstar in hand, life is has never been so grand

beefNchedder makes his kids scream yippy!

Happy Birthday Christopher.
