I went down to Dallas this past weekend to meet my new nephew, Asher. He was born on February 16th, 2008 needless to say it took awhile for uncle AJ to make his way to see him. I feel it was probably for the best, from what my sister told me he was a very cranky person for his first little bit being home. If your wondering he never got to go straight home. When he was born his lungs were a little under developed, so he spent a week or so in an incubator. My sister wasn’t allowed to hold him for that entire time. People weren’t even aloud to audibly or visually stimulate him, because it would up set him and cause his O2 levels to drop. He is doing much better now, they still have to wait awhile before he can venture out into the the social world but he can go through a diaper change with rupturing your ear drum now.

My other nephew, Sawyer, is obsessed with Johnny Cash. My sister has a live DVD and he will put it in grab a guitar and play along(strum wildly, still awesome though) and sing. He was really excited to show me his school and room, but never pulled the look what I can do move. With my sisters impression of Mrs Swan I can only assume it is a matter of time.

Also I got to the Spilmans. I visited them at church on Easter Sunday. They attend Gateway church in Dallas which apparently it is kind of a big deal church. I guess I don’t pay much attention to churches around the US or world for that matter. For some reason all churches seam about the same to me. Sure they “feel” a little different but all in all I say they are the same. You should read Pagan Christianity some time, blow your feakin mind. I should probably listen to the sermon more closely or at least try and retain what was going on. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked how was the sermon was and couldn’t tell you the first thing that it was about. I’m not sure if that is a focus problem on my part or that sermons aren’t engaging. I’m sure a little of both, but i digress. After the service though I made the comment that it looked like the worship team took fashion tips from the Jonas Brothers. Ali looked at me and said that this is were they go to church. At that point I felt somewhat self conscious that I had said it pretty loud, then quickly went back to feeling pretty positive that I had called it, so no harm in telling the facts. All in all it was a good trip minus the rain the whole way back.
