Useful job

I've been really thinking about going back to work or going back to school. The one thing that I would like to have is a job that is useful not just in America but in any country. I reflect back on my last mission trip...it was to Burundi and at the time I worked for a software company. My job was to log in to client computers databases and do work from my own computer. I can't remember how many times I tried to explain this to the Burundians who would ask what I did for a living. I think the last time I explained it, the man said to me "You know, I am 30 years old and I have never once used a computer." This was an educated man, by the way. I realized my job was nothing to these people. As important as I thought I my job was back in the US, it was of absolutely no significance or use to the Burundians during that trip. So now I am searching for something to do/study that is useful globally and of interest to me.

Halloween: Aidan the Squid

Or octopus if you will...

A visit from Peyton Honour

Our friend Lorie Honour brought her son Peyton over for a quick playdate. He's all Hmmmm, when's she gonna be done with this thing so it's my turn?

Sitting Pretty

Sweet little Wren sitting in her bumbo looking all peaceful. Six seconds later her brother tried to sit on her. Goodbye peace.

Daddy with his babies

Here are a couple of pictures of Scott with Aidan and Wren taken while he was on a short visit over the July 4th weekend. Aaaw...we sure do miss him!

My sleeping babies

Here are Aidan and Wren sleeping in the same bed while at the beach house on Isle of Palms. Of course Aidan is totally stretched out across the bed! He's such a wiggle worm when he sleeps!

Baby Wren

So, it's been over a year since the last post and NOW we have a new little baby! Sweet little Wren Immanuelle Tucker was born March 30, 2009 at Trident Hospital in North Charleston, SC.

Don't drink and drive and dance

Aidan in the pool!

Here's Aidan's first dip in the blow up kiddie pool...BTW, whatever happened to the hard plastic pools? You know the kind you could turn into a fort? Anyway, we didn't have swim trunks hence the nakedness, although he was wearing SPF 50...that counts for something, right?

Life has lost its meaning....

Today Scott's XBOX 360 died. The nice customer support lady said $100 and 3 weeks and it will be right as rain. Scott was so upset he is seriously considered taking his half of the government stimulus check and buying a new XBOX so he doesn't have to wait. Yes, you are reading that correctly.

As for right now, he has retreated to the bedroom to wallow in the gloom...

Fiesta fun for the little chili pepper

This Saturday we had a Feista baby shower for the Honours, whose little chili pepper is due in July...sombreros and baby bottles galore! Above is Jimmy Honour, the Padre to be, and below is some of the Fiesta food. If you can't read them, the cupcakes spell "Peyton's Fiesta" OLE!!

Oh, and here's a picture of me with Jimmy standing over after he beat me with the pacifier pinata. Hope you're proud of yourself Jimmy!
