Valentine's Day Lunch

Happy Valentine's Day from the Gammons family! Today when I went home for lunch I was met with a surprise lunch. The kitchen table was set with flowers, candles and most of my favorite people in the world. (Molly was asleep. She got a shot this morning at the doctor's office.) Our family is in such a good place right now. I relish in the many blessings that God has showered upon us. I hope that each of you is experiencing His love today.

What Andy reads

I have written about Netvibes before. I use it to check all of the blogs that I read, catch up on news and even watch job postings. This was a page that only I could see through a log-in. Now, Netvibes has allowed me to make a public page. So, if you read a lot of the blogs that I read or if you are looking for some good news, you can start at my Netvibes Universe page. I've entitled it "What Andy reads". I've divided it into "Start Here", things about our family; "Everyday Blogs", blogs that I read everyday; "News", obvious; and "Music", some mp3 blogs that I read and get music from. Make it a bookmark and check it when you want to see what Gregg is writing about or what Pastor John's blog says today. Better yet, make it your homepage and start off here every day. If you have any suggestions for feeds that I should add, leave them in the comments. I'd love to see what you are reading.

A good cup of coffee

I started drinking coffee in the basement of Waterford Community Church. Joey and I thought it was really cool to get a cup of coffee like Dad in between Sunday School and church. We would put a lot of creamer powder and a lot of sugar and then try to act suave as we gulped it down.

Now our boys think it is equally great to "have a cup of coffee." They get a little sugar, a little rice milk and a little decaf coffee. Someday they'll drink it black, just like I do and just like my dad did.

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings

I don't know what you've been listening to lately, but whatever it is, SHUT IT OFF! Turn on some Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. Sharon Jones is a 51-year-old black woman with some sweet pipes. She has been doing music for a long time, but finally has been noticed by the mainstream (me for instance.) The Dap Kings are a group of smooth criminals funkin' around behind her. They play a great mix of 60's and 70's era funk and Motown. I watched a great podcast last night and couldn't wait to get to work to listen to some more. If you grew up with the Motown sound or just like a great groove, you'll love Sharon! Ooooh, don't stop!

It was a cold weekend.

Check out this article about our weekend weather. Brrrrr!

Molly at 7 months

Molly will be seven months in five days. It seems like she has always been a part of our family. She is learning to crawl and gets around wherever she wants. The boys still love her and think she's super-sweet. We do too! This video is the perfect portrait of who she is right now. She is a very independent little person and very fun to have around. Sorry about the little throw up at the end.

Brush with greatness

A few months back, Gregg and Allison posted about their many brushes with celebrities. I commented that I had met the first President Bush. I figured out how to use the scanner at work today, so I thought I would post my picture with the Pres. I sure looked a little different nine years ago.
