Baby Matthew

Carrie and I are so happy to have little Matthew join our family. He is such a sweet little boy and has been a wonderful sleeper, eater, and heart warmer for us since he came into our world. We love our family and feel so blessed in our lives to be able to take part in God's beautiful plan.

Family

A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden

Parker = Stress!

I am surviving here at Parker college of chiropractic, but this stress is killing my adrenal glands! I am in trimester six and have one year to go. I battle daily with the ups and downs of loving what i'm doing in clinic with patients and then having such limited time with all the school work at the same time (30 credits). WOW, sounds like i'm griping! On a more possitive note, I have a loving and wonderful wife who has supported me through all of this. I leave at 6am every morning and don't see her until 7:30pm each day except for the days I have her and the kids in for their adjustments in the clinic. I love my family so much and live for the moment I walk in the door to Riley and Craig yelling, "DADDY!!!" as they run up and hug me tight and plant warm little kisses on my cheeks. That's what life's all about! It really is. I just read Shelli's blog and I agree 100%. Love all you can and try to always be possitive in all the good and not so good that comes your way. Even though I might be a bit stressed out to my maximum capacities, I am so grateful for this time in my life and the fun times I enjoy with my family and friends. I LOVE MY FAMILY, that includes ALL of you!

Happy Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween this year and the kids had a blast going door to door. It was Craig's first time and he did great up until his bag and eyes got a little to heavy for him. We are loving this time of season as it gets a bit colder and the humidity settles down a bit. Texas has been good to us so far and we have built some good warm memories together. Happy Halloween!

Riley is 4!!!

We just can't believe that Riley is now 4 years old! We had a fun time at Sea World San Antonio to celebrate her birthday and the kids loved it. I was getting a physical done yesterday and when I was asked my age it struck me that I am getting OLD! I'm going to be 28 in November! Yikes! Anyway, I'm going to have to make sure to add to my own blog now that we have the family blog. I figure that this is more of a journal for my own family that I should add to more often. We will be moving this Friday into a house and Carrie and I are very excited. Can't wait for the kids to have a backyard and for little Matthew to have his own room at the end of December. I still can't believe I'll have three kids while going to school for another year and a half. I must be crazy! I must say now that I am sooo glad that I chose to come back to Chiropractic school. I love adjusting people and the changes I can make people's overall health. It's funny, I have about 3-5 people from my class ask me daily for an adjustment. Because I have a bunch of friends from my original class, (Now about to graduate!) I have been able to learn a lot from them and get ahead of my own class as far as adjusting skills go.

Can't wait to get out into the real world and change lives!

P.S. A newer study done by some MD's has show that a chiropractic adjustment (upper cervical) is more affective than any drugs out there right now for the lowering of High blood pressure. Pretty cool, but that's just one of the MANY benefits of chiropractic!

PART 1 BOARDS ARE OVER!!!!

I have finished part 1 boards and I am ready to crash. The funny thing is that I have to start Tri. 5 on Monday (1 day of actual break). Here's a cute pic of Riley, Craigy, and Prego, I mean Carrie. I think we've decided that this baby boy, who is due in Jan. for those of you who might not have heard, will be named Matthew. Not sure about the middle name yet. Anyway, we miss all of you and hope to see you soon.

Craigy

Here are a couple pics! I'll get more posted soon!!!
