Elton Lombardi
After a concert in front of thousands of fans, Elton Lombardi likes to put on his pajama outfit and walk around the house with his Sunglasses on.
Now I’m a fan too! 
“the very paradox of human existence, namely, that although man is a passing creature who often does merely strut and fret his short hour upon life’s stage, he is also more than a passing creature of an earthly day—for he is made for eternity, for God himself. Therefore, what happens to him and in him, as well as what is done by him, though of short temporal duration, has eternal value.” (James Boice)

Playground with Moma Lynn
South Pittsburg has the coolest playground. Lots of wood structures to climb on.
It was a little cold, but we still had fun at the playground. Here’s Lynn and Matthew on the slide.

No Television Nights
Usually, we have the television going practically nonstop after dinner. The reasons for watching are endless; Netflix movies, Dr. Phill, 20/20, Dateline, Pimp my Ride, Local and National news, etc etc. On my last trip to Japan, I did a lot of reading in the airplane and didn’t watch much T.V. the entire week. I also had more time to reflect on my role as a husband and spiritual leader in my household.
It became clear that we needed to do something to open time in our lives for study, teaching, prayer, worship, cleaning. Basically anything but television. We decided to cut T.V. on Tuesday’s, Thursdays and Sundays. This Tuesday was our first no T.V. night.
We started off going through the large amount of clutter in our home office. It was encouraging to see the clutter slowly disappear and if we spend some evenings cleaning up clutter here and there, we can easily keep up with it and have a relatively clean house. Later, we spent some time reading to each other and having fun together. Hopefully we can keep this up and do activities that help us grow closer together as a family and also closer to God.

Greek side of Matthew
One of the best falafal places in San Jose is actually one of the lesser attractive and least accomodating places.
At lunch time the place is usually packed with people and seating is limited. It’s not uncommon to have strangers join you at your table. Nevertheless, it’s a treat to visit. The falafals and hummus are excellent. Matthew doesn’t care so much for the falafel’s but he loves the hummus and banana shakes.
Usually we eat in our car, especially today since it was so cold outside and most of the seating is outside.
The hummus comes with pita bread. Usually when we give him the bread, he’ll just suck the hummus off. He actually prefers to eat spoonfuls of the stuff.

Easel Cubby Hole
Whenever things get very quiet, it's a good sign to check on what Matthew is doing. This time I looked around and could not find him anywhere. We bought Matthew an easel for drawing with chalk and markers. But he found a totally unique use for it.
