Hi, I’m John

(this is when you say “Hi John”)

I’ll wait...........

I’m a 30 something who spends his working days in a cubicle smaller than some of your closets.

I’m a dad. It’s one of the hardest and most rewarding experiences of my life.

I’m a husband.......and you’ll soon realize that I married up.......way up.

I’m a Christ follower.......or at least my best attempt to be so.....most of the time.

I’m a grad student......but not for much longer.

I’m a closet creative. I like painting, I’m a decent musician, and I’m a pretty good communicator.

This is where I chronicle all of my mundane adventures.

I’ll try to make it interesting......I’ll try to be original.....I’ll try to be funny........but no promises......ok.

Good. You’re in

PS: Please excuse the typoes, I’m an impatient proof reader.

john
A hobby enthusiast and avid reader. I love sports but unfortunately am not very athletic….it took me 30 years to admit that.
Passions: recycling, “doing church better”, old school jazz, organ donorship, UNC basketball
Things I can’t live without: tivo, dairy products, podcasts, sweet iced tea
25 random things about John

janelle
Well dressed on a budget & the personification of bottled sunshine. She juggles being a full time mom, wife, and part-time staff at our church. She only needs to hear a song once to have it memorized and gets a ginormous belly when she is pregnant (to the point where the baby feels cramped after birth).
Passions: word games, baking, Dr. Mario, McDonalds Coke (its just better there she says)
Things she can’t live without: nasal spray, toe socks, dishwasher, her camera (that's why most of the pictures don’t have her in them)
25 random things about Janelle

caden crusoe
People think that his hair is cool because we spike it......but that's because he has two crowns the which team up together to form a cowlick that likes which has never been seen since the little rascals. He gets his happy upbeat personality and stubbornness from his mother, while his general laziness and awesome dance moves come from me.
Passions: Boz, Thomas the Train, lollipops
Things he can’t live without: PBS cartoons in the morning, diapers (that’s really more for us), gold fish (the crackers)

alaina (lainy) harper
Lainy's personality is starting to blossom.....and she is just now starting to ~~like~~ tolerate those with a Y chromosome (including me).
