Time out for my girls!!!

My life is completely full.

I am married with two beautiful little girls. My wife Kimmie is one of the greatest mothers that I have ever met. I don't really like or understand some of the things that she does, but I respect her decisions and back her 100 percent.

I have always tinkered with and understood computers all of my life. Since the days of the Commodore 64 and tearing apart the Atari, I have always been able to figure that kind of stuff out very easily. I actually have been blessed to have a career doing this. I don't really understand why it comes easy to me, it just does...almost like it's instinctive. That is how my wife is with the kids. She just knows!

When the girls were young, Kimmie would set up the regiments for each child. Since the two girls are different as night and day, the regiments reflected those differences. She would tell me what she needed from me and I would comply. That was our agreement. Oh, I had some input - but most of the time my wife would be the final word on those issues because it had to work in the plan.

I think that we will probably write a book together on how to make the right decisions when raising children. Yeah....she's that good!

Like I mentioned earlier, I have two daughters. The oldest is Jordan. She is one of the top 5 smartest people that I know. She's smarter than me, she just doesn't know as much. She's funny and spontaneous. She has my disposition which means that it's pretty much happy go lucky until you hit a certain nerve...then watch out!

J is always reading. She is very good with the computer and she is a social bug by nature. She can get her head lost in the clouds which drives her mom crazy, but I think it's cute. She's not as responsible as we would like her to be, but she is twice as responsible as she should be.

She can be alone and do things by herself and be just fine or fit in with a group. She can be friends with anyone, And oh yeah....she has the biggest feet you've ever seen...!!!!

Most importantly, she knows Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior!

Then there is Bailey. She is the baby of the family. Her nickname is Button (get it...Bailey Button!!!). Bailey is probably the funniest person I know. She has always had the innate ability to just walk into a room and make people laugh. And she isn't trying to...she is just naturally funny.

Bailey is a smart girl, and she does very well in school. Sometimes her mother and I wonder how she does it...because it doesn't seem to translate to home life.

She is a lot like her mom both in looks and manner. There are pictures of my wife when she was a young child and the similarities between Bailey and those pictures are creepy and uncanny. Kimmie's father couldn't tell the difference!!!

And just like her big sister, Bailey knows Jesus!

Kim and I have tried to maintain a high standard for our children. I know that our kids probably don't like us most of the time because of it. We are firm and strict with our children, and it is out of love. We learned early on that our responsibility wasn't to be our child's friend or buddy, but to raise them and prepare them for the world.

Prepare them mentally, emotionally, financially and most importantly spiritually. Also, you need to maintain your integrity as a parent. If you fail, your kids will fail.

I'll let you know when the book comes out!!!!
