Dadness: class begins tonight
Well it’s here. The first baby class is tonight. Not sure what goes on at these things, but if you know me you know that I’ve got a super short attention span and i’m pretty quick on the chuckle, so the combination of the two should be a perfect combination for this class about this kinda stuff. :) I can’t believe the classes are here.  That means we’re seriously on...

Dadness Update
I feel our little girl move like crazy now.  Not just kicks, but like these crazy pushes.. wow it’s weird… but AWESOME. :) The room is getting so close to completion.  It’s crazy to walk by there everyday and see all the stuff… this is really happening. Gretch has washed the clothes we have and has ‘em in drawers and some hanging in the closet. Carter is so funny,...

Set List | 07.18
I have to say last sunday was CRAZY.  I got back from Haiti around midnight on saturday, where I was leading worship every morning with a ghetto sound system, no lights, no video, a not-so-in-tune guitar, and a bunch of haitians that don’t speak english, and was standing on the stage @oakbrookchurch a few hours later.  CRAZY. But it was soooo good! :) the trip was awesome, and unlike the...

It’s kinda bouncy, but this video was taken by my friend Kris from the back of a truck following the Koupon soccer team home from a game they just won 3-0… there’s another video of us once we get into the village and it seems like every person comes out, but I could’t resist posting this one… listen to the team as they cheer “CURTIS FOR LIFE!” priceless....

Haiti 2010 | day one
it’s actually our 3rd full day but I’ll post these as I get the internet. :)   Yesterday we had a lay-over in NY, an overnight… went smooth.  JFK was pretty easy to navigate, the team is having a blast getting to know each other better.  We got to the hotel in the evening and ordered some NY style pizza… fold it up and put it down, so good. :) We woke up and had forever...

Set List | 06.13
A while back I used to post the set list after I’d lead on a sunday… in case people wanted to grab the songs, or where just curious about why we sang what we sang. I’m gonna start again. :) I had a lot of fun today… the set was a few of my favorites… 1. All Because of Jesus by Steve Fee If you’re around Oakbrook you know this one for sure. :)  I love a song with...

Thoughts in Dadness
I watched ‘Away We Go’ last night. First time I’ve watched it knowing I’m gonna have a kid. It changed the experience to say the least… I painted the babies room this weekend. It’s not that my wife’s growing belly doesn’t make it seem real, but there’s something about this empty room that’s painted a new color that makes it feel like...

The 16 Week Update
It’s a 16 week update. My wife is getting big. (In a pregnancy way just to be clear) I’m reading a book: The Expectant Father That book tells me what to say & do, it’s gold. :) I’m reading about what is going on with the baby each week… MY MIND IS BLOW. I’m realizing how much of a miracle child birth is. I’m realizing how BIG & GOOD our GOD is. I...
