M.R.I. Day

Micah had an MRI done today. Our alarms went off at 4:30 this morning. We were supposed to be in Atl. by 8, and we weren't sure when the morning rush would hit, so we left at about 5. We got there way early; but I guess better early than late.

The worst part was definetly the IV. They had to stick him twice. He didn't like that at all. He was so worn out from crying about the IV, that he went to sleep and at first didn't need sedation on the machine. But then of course, the loud thing woke him up about half way through. So they gave him some propane....actually I think it was something like "propenal", or something, and he was asleep in about 15 seconds. A few minutes later he was resting in a little room. About 20 minutes after that he was awake and ready to go.

We have a follow up appt. with the doctor on Jan. 4th when we'll find out the results of the test. Thanks for all who prayed for us.

This picture is of him after he woke up from sedation and before they took the IV out of his hand.

Favorite presents?

So what are some of your favorite things you got for Christmas?

Micah-Fu

Micah has learned a new martial arts move. He used to try to grab my glasses, but sometimes I could pull my head back in time. Now, he has learned that with one hand he can grab my gotee, and then with the other grab my glasses.

Has David been here?

---------------
For those who don't know, the title is just a little joke about some of David's previous fits of rage.

I was in a hurry to go to a doctors appt. I open the door of my car and go to get in...and I see this. My first thought was that somebody had broken it. If I had left my 360 in there I would have for sure thought that. But then I realized I was a delayed victim of the ice storm. The ice had weakened a branch of the evil pine tree and it fell....and destroyed my back window.

I call a dealer...he says a new one cost over $500.
I call a different dealer...he says it costs $340.
I call the junk yard...I bought one for $100.

A place called Economy Glass and Upolstery says they can put it in for around $100. My father-in-law says we can do it for free when he come up for Christmas. Maybe I can get out of this without being out too much money.

At first I thought my insurance would cover it. I call my guy...my deductible is $500. Good thing I spend an extra $50 a month on that full coverage. :-/

Libby's nursery - David, what's up with the light? Is it pink in there?

Libby Grace Cox

(insert joke here) or should I say (put yo funny mess up in hea)

I believe in old-school discipline.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

I saw The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe tonight.

I have to admit I wasn't prepared for what I saw. I mean, I read the book in college in an adolescent literature class...but Santa? Yes, it had Santa Claus in it. And in the book you don't see anything about "Bananna warriors from Charleston". What is that about. They even have a part where a ghost pirate ship joins the ice queen and the wierdest part was they were trying to sell TELEVISIONS to her soldiers! And all through the movie there was this running comic theme about corn-on-the-cob.

Ok. Half of thats not true. I just thought it would sound more interesting. It was a great movie. (But Santa was thrown in. I don't remember him from the book.) Great movie,...Tori wants to go see it again with her parents. Gotta love C.S. Lewis.

church oops

Wednesday night Tori and I went to eat Wed. night supper at our new church for the first time. I was standing up in the middle of the Fellowship hall. A guy was leaving the room to go somewhere and he waved. I waved back. Too bad he was waving to his wife behind me.

The modification Microsoft is making to the 360.

1 little, 2 little, 3rd not so little indians

There is now a little female engine in the Cox household. Libby Grace was born yesterday. 18 1/2" long, 6 lbs. 5 oz. And she came with a bow, arrow and Harrah's VIP parking permit.

I'll put a picture on here whenever David decides to send me some. He could put a picture of his brand new daughter on his blog....if he had one.

--thats an excerpt from this article. It is a an informative article for any other nerds out there that keep up with this kind of stuff.

Jared. You need this.

Jared, you should put some of these on your mustang. Check out this article.

Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the jerk who
cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother
who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to
cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and
spend a few precious moments with her children.

Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed ,
disinterested young man who can't make change
correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student ,
balancing his apprehension over final exams with his
fear of not getting his student loans for next
semester.

Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging
for money in the same spot every day (who really ought
to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can
only imagine in our worst nightmares.

Help us to remember that the old couple walking
annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking
our shopping progress are savoring this moment ,
knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back
last week, this will be the last year that they go
shopping together .

Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the
gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love . It is
not enough to share that love with those we hold dear.
Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us,
but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick
to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.
