Welcome to DED!

I am glad you are here. This is a new blog about me and my experiences as a Christian Domestic Engineer Daddy (stay at home dad). I have been a DED(SAHD) for five years. I started when my oldest (seven now) was two and my youngest (five almost six now) was one year old. Wow, what a whirlwind it has been.

This might not even be read by anyone, but it will enable me to keep a journal of sorts. My two daughters keep things quite lively around here along with church and school, and don't forget softball which will be starting up again in the spring. This year both girls will be playing. It should be a blast!

Current news: My oldest daughter was home yesterday and will be today also because of conjunctivitis (Pink Eye). This has given me some time to disinfect things, get laundry done, update our church's website, complete our Church's Family Album and scan some old pictures I have been meaning to scan for a while now. Today will probably be more of the same.

Report Card Rewards: Both girls reports came home yesterday with my youngest. Great reports for both! Straight A's for my oldest and Satisfactory Progression for my youngest. With my wife away on business, I gave the girls the reward of choosing where we would go out to dinner. Their favorite buffet was the chosen venue. My wife will not eat at a buffet, so their decision made sense. For me these all you can eat affairs is a love/hate relationship. I love having the variety, but it never fails......I eat way to much! My oldest picked up on my motto when eating at this particular establishment. As she finished her dessert "Daddy, will you roll me out of here". I didn't say it was a healthy one. One of these visits I will step away from the table before feeling like I am going to explode. My favorite part of the dinner.........Bread Pudding topped with Soft Serve Vanilla Ice Cream (the second helping always does me in!)

Until next time......
