Anyway you want to put it Stephanie & I have now been married for 5 years. Go us. It has been a fun time this first five. We had the great blessing of Lucas and are about to add little Georgia to the mix. We have had the privelage to travel and enjoy the world and country. We have owned a home (or two). Bought a car or 3! ok maybe 4. Spent holidays with families that love us and set examples of what a Christian marriage should be. But most of all we have got to spend the past 5 years together doing it all.

Just think what the next 5 has in store!!!!

Lucas - 1....Daddy - 0

Lucas tonight did the unthinkable, he out fished his Dad!!!! Lucas & I went down to the neighborhood pond tonight to spend a little time together before I head out of town for work and he caught a whopper. Yes, he caught the only fish of the night, and to top it all off, he did it all by himself. Well almost, I cast the line out, but he reeled it in. In fact, I wasn't paying much attention, as I had a hook in the water also. He kept yelling, "Daddy I got a fish, Daddy I got a Nemo." Of course he yells this everytime he reels in so I wasn't thinking much about it, until I look over and yep there it is. His very first fish.

So with out further ado, here is the first of hopefully many fish....

Georgia Claire Harrington

I thought I would make it official by posting it on the blog. Lucas' little sister now has a name! He has now added her to his bedtime prayers. "Thank you God for Mommy, Daddy, Ducas (He can't say L's yet) and Georgia Claire, Amen!" Sorry there are no pictures with this post but I just wanted to share with everyone that we had picked a name for our little girl!

Our Big Three Year Old

Well as you can tell from the pictures we had a GREAT third birthday party! I still cannot believe he is really three even though he has reminded me every thirty minutes or so! This was the first year I was brave enough to make his cake. He wanted a Choo Choo cake and I just happened to find a really cute cake mold, so I tested my cake decorating skills. We also had 48 cupcakes! Lucas took over the decorating on those! We had a lot of fun thanks to all of our family and friends for coming over to help us celebrate. I have more really cute pictures of the kids playing that I will try to get on here tomorrow. So keep checking back for more birthday pictures!

New Chair...

This last weekend we loaded up the family and drove out to Abilene to pick up a new chair. Granny was nice enough to donate one of her chairs from the study to our living room. It was great getting to see Granny for even just the short time we were out there. Anyway, just wanted to throw a picture up so everyone can see the new addition to the living room.

La Quinta...Spanish for....

"One big mess up".

Let me explain a little. I am sitting in my room here in Houston were the humidity is 1000%, with a air conditioner is not working, sweating the pounds away. I can not leave my room, because I have no room key. However, my tv works and I have "new decor".

You see, I travel to Houston a couple of times a month. I always stay at the same La Quinta. This time I pull up and they guy behind the desk is obvouisly having a bad day. You see the motel was updating and today was the launch of the new rooms. Apparently, they forgot to double check everything in the new rooms. He was getting all kinds of complaints and his only defense was "but it has new decor". I check in, head to my room and low and behold my key doesn't work. So I go back to the front desk, and the poor guy already knew what was wrong. I plead my case he heads up with a master key and lets me in. The kicker is If I leave the room, and the door shuts, I can not get back in. So I sit here locked in my room. To make things worse, the new AC Unit is not blowing cold. At least my internet and TV work.
My boss is in the room next to me, his AC works, his door works, but his TV does not work.
This place is having problems....I am sure there will be a few complaints filed tonight.

But I do have to say, the new decor is nice......
