Tonight I am a proud father. I know I should not be proud but tonight is an exception. As we were doing our family devotions I asked Ezra "How should we thank God tonight?" His answer was glorious! He said, "let's thank God for vacation in the mountains and after the mountains come grandma and grandpa." It is true that his grandma and grandpa are coming to visit in mid-June and that may be cute but he wanted to thank God for the mountains. Tonight I am a proud father.

Montana is a state of the northwest United States bordering on Canada. It was admitted as the 41st state in 1889. Most of the area passed to the United States through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 and was explored by Lewis and Clark in 1805 and 1806. Split for many years among other western territories, the region was organized as the Montana Territory in 1864. Helena is the capital and Billings the largest city.
Population: 945,000.
We are taking a family vacation to Montana. Ezra is excited to see the mountains. Asher is excited about his new brown shoes that look just like his old brown shoes but they are a size larger. Kirsten and I are excited about a family vacation in the mountains.
When I was younger I always remembered which state was Montana by picturing Joe Montana as the nose in the state. Does that help you?
Hi Bryan. Thanks for holding my dad accountable to posting things on his blog. Maybe when your child is born he/she could do the same for you. My dad wanted you to know that he is posting to this blog and you could check it out sometime. It's good that you are posting to your blog now but that doesn't make you the blog police.
Today is Ezra's 3rd birthday. He has grown so quickly. It seems like just yesterday that I skipped graduation at TEDS to go to Bucca de Beppos and a few days later meet our large headed son. He is 3 years old today. We have had a fun day of celebration. We awoke early to have donuts with sprinkles. We then played with a new train set (from Aunt Megan) and a new "puter" (Leap Frog computer) from grandma and grandpa. At Ezra's request we will have purple cake and chocolate frosting after eating corn and hot dogs for dinner.

I stumbled upon a group of people (church) who are committed to singing great old hymns in a modern, folky way. If you like hymns (and you should) check out this site. You are able to listen to audio clips of each song. There are many hymns that I have not heard before but the lyrics are as rich as expected. Red Mountain Music can be found here.
The music is similar to the stuff by Indelible Grace.
