Charity Fundraiser


Hey guys!

It's been a couple years since I did a marathon for charity.  Yes... a GAMING marathon.  24 hours of gaming for kids.

I normally don't ask for charity donations, I figure if you do that kind of thing you probably already know how much you're giving to whom... but I'll give this a shot anyway.

If you'd like to contribute, please follow the link:

(had to fix the link and it's not a link right now. I'm working on it DMC)

This was supposed to happen across the country on October 20th, but I had to work that weekend (it's been busy).  It looks like I may actually get this weekend off!  Yay!

I plan on starting 5AM Saturday 10/27/12.

Since Dena is on my team, she and I are allowed to split hours when we game together.  24 hours of not-stop gaming is really kind of impractical in my adult life...

I think we'll likely play several games: Guild Wars 2 and Mass Effect 3.  We might get in some Torchlight II and Star Wars the Old Republic as well if Dad wants to play.

If nothing else, we'll have some fun, but hopefully we can help some kids too.

Well, thanks for reading!

Update:
Due to a really bad back Saturday morning, I'm afraid I was unable to sit for an extended period and had to postpone the event. I got up at 5AM, and realized I wasn't going to make it 30 minutes, much less 24 hours.  I'll have to work out a future date for this event with Dena...

Cut Out the Middle Man

I t was snack time at the Christensen house and I decided to use up some leftover cream cheese and salsa and chips (just lying around -I promise!!) Jack, as it turns out is new to the world of dipping. I used some of his crunchies and dipped it in the salsa cheese mix. He seemed to enjoy the flavor of it. I went into the kitchen to fix us both a drink and when I came back out I realized that Jack decided he'd had enough of the middle man and went right into dipping with the tools God gave him! I laughed so hard I had to share it with you! No One's Around to Catch Me... E xcep t Mom and her camera... I guess he thought it was good bean dip! He ate the rest of the bowl!!

7 Weeks Old!

All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go! Smile for Daddy! Baby, You Can Drive My Car Well, Little Jack is almost 8 weeks old now.  He has been a busy boy, and we are starting to get into a more regular routine. I think it is good for all involved.  We usually get up about when Daddy does at 5:00.  Sometimes we get another nap after that first meal, but sometimes we don't. And that's OK.   Our new nighttime routine involves bath-time at 7:00 (on bath days) so that he can eat and drift off to sleep and maybe give Mom and Dad an hour before their 9:00 bedtime.   Jack can still usually go 4 hours at night. Sometimes we are unlucky and he gets up every 2 hours.  This is rare now.  Sometimes we are very lucky and  he'll sleep 6 to 8 hours.  Not too often, but it is a taste of things to come.  He is getting really good at holding his head up.  I think he gets bored on some days because you cannot just leave him in his bouncy seat - he cries and cries.  He went into the doctor's last...

Second First: First day of School!

Well, the day finally came. It felt like we waited a long time, but the day arrived quickly nonetheless. The first day of school! Maybe it seemed to come so soon since the kids start school when they are 2 1/2 or 3 now. Guess there's more to learn than when I was a kid, LOL. It was more stressful than I thought to select a school. We visited a few local(ish) schools and finally settled on Holy Cross Lutheran Early Learning Center . It's only 15 minutes away, which is pretty close for where we live. We liked this preschool mainly because of the small size of the classes. And when we took Jack for a tour he seemed the most comfortable. So I guess in the end the choice was pretty simple - I just over worry about things most of the time. So he goes Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 - 12:00. It's an adjustment for all of us, but so far so good. Ready to Leave  That was Jack all ready to go on the first day. Eventually he'll grow into that backpack. B...
