Today I was home all morning with my youngest daughter and then had kid pickup duty as my wife was working.  In the morning I got another piece of homework done.  It was an interesting commentary titled "What is a need?"

In the afternoon I sat outside in the playscape clubhouse in the trees and watched the birds go by with my daughter.  Later I took down the Christmas lights.  My wife worked all afternoon.

This evening I cooked a BBQ dinner for the family.  After dinner my wife went to a meeting.  I was resentful because I have been stuck home all day.  I was pleased with my oldest son for practicing baseball, throwing footballs, and riding his bike.  Before that he got in trouble for whining to get on the computer but he responded appropriately after consequences.  I was pleased that my youngest son rode his bike for a long time. 

My older daughter played with her neighbor friend.

This day  I pray for the lives of the unborn.

Thanks be to God for this day.
