After a nearly 2 year wait, we were matched with a 3 month baby boy from Ethiopia. He is healthy, weighs 8 pounds, was born in South Ethiopia and was named after his grandfather. Although we cannot post his name (Starts with a 'M'), nor picture yet, he is the cutest little baby!!<br /><br />As soon as we can, we will update with a picture, but wanted you all to know before the facebook world does.<br /><br />From here on out, we wait for our doctor to go over the health records, accept the baby, get submitted to court (in Ethiopia), travel to Ethiopia for court (hopefully this summer, but could be after), then finally go back to Ethiopia a second time for an Embassy date and to bring our boy home!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11060691.post-80475725669787318702011-03-09T21:49:00.002-05:002011-03-09T21:57:58.393-05:00Fab Five<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ArEOiywP1oc" frameborder="0"></iframe><div><br /></div><div>Anybody else aware of this documentary? </div><div><br /></div><div>I think in our lives there were 3 sports moments that brought most of Michigan together: </div><div><br /></div><div>FAB FIVE</div><div>1997 Detroit Red Wings </div><div>1997 UofM Football </div><div><br /></div><div>Possible MSU title run in 2000 sliding in their at 4th. </div><div><br /></div><div>Somebody please tape this for me? </div><div><br /></div>Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17407346575364018311noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11060691.post-42055557351098873362011-02-26T09:47:00.002-05:002011-02-26T09:53:40.295-05:00Shea talks with another legend...(and doesn't care)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNQW8OY0_0USNb1rC2_hpFTshD_c2MbwMr-9YzJmKcm2ZtmHUg2vx-Sma6eQ7ltU9YLCl687EqZ7qlRiaYSjZmKNY4kT75KFyltf19cCk3LFFihjPC1ZZyeulKJMafvR1a3hTv/s1600/drago.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 245px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNQW8OY0_0USNb1rC2_hpFTshD_c2MbwMr-9YzJmKcm2ZtmHUg2vx-Sma6eQ7ltU9YLCl687EqZ7qlRiaYSjZmKNY4kT75KFyltf19cCk3LFFihjPC1ZZyeulKJMafvR1a3hTv/s320/drago.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578011522587432050" /></a><br />So Shea is renown for meeting and talking with my life's icons. Not long before he passed away, shea talked with Ernie Harwell a our local glenn's market. he was up here with the loons doing a signing day. they talked about grandkids briefly and ran into each other in the check out isle. Now I find that she had a phone conversation with none other than Drago....yes, thee Drago! He owns an indoor soccer complex in Midland and Shea is trying to book it for a night and she talked with him. I think i might ask her to invite him to come and play when he calls her back. Dude, what the heck! She of course is clueless to who this is, so I am trying my hardest to explain how awesome he is....not working though.steve lampihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12763766188079056715noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11060691.post-52490239021452366072011-02-12T15:42:00.003-05:002011-02-12T16:02:47.349-05:00CLASH OF THE TITANS!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhALn41nzED7w1ui4NSRTILOin8pXJxtIj_NP-lFAQO-nU79I9yvMLwRvkuII3SqRAIZAR4P95BX456PKiXJa5Lzvks0c6haFeH91tYSbNefcmvACjlFkUYTA13SFlClXoelPxZ-g/s1600/bilde.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 207px; height: 352px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhALn41nzED7w1ui4NSRTILOin8pXJxtIj_NP-lFAQO-nU79I9yvMLwRvkuII3SqRAIZAR4P95BX456PKiXJa5Lzvks0c6haFeH91tYSbNefcmvACjlFkUYTA13SFlClXoelPxZ-g/s400/bilde.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572911356296789506" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKE6_kM_FbW7KOQSbC6tW2ug4TqzlbXB-ZJKZkC3U8BVS33a88qAC-QZ9rBZKj9Ll6HWHTmTAzrBtMeno_tKY3IjHBoPGNj2-JmtmsQUBGq8vN1m8kMPB6URKEaQ6o84pIKB1kvQ/s1600/bilde-3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 269px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKE6_kM_FbW7KOQSbC6tW2ug4TqzlbXB-ZJKZkC3U8BVS33a88qAC-QZ9rBZKj9Ll6HWHTmTAzrBtMeno_tKY3IjHBoPGNj2-JmtmsQUBGq8vN1m8kMPB6URKEaQ6o84pIKB1kvQ/s400/bilde-3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572911347650536802" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5hyphenhyphenx4WOEiCgIK7V7SJO6dwR25-uQUr94DOMBBScwTfr9ofIR18cNnDc2uO6cxLsZSAC7h_b1WyN6vf1JcZ4-qodNpxywEuO0nfz-JeE1_wutP4kljObghZDTvB3re7m5kc_-coQ/s1600/bilde-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 252px; height: 352px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5hyphenhyphenx4WOEiCgIK7V7SJO6dwR25-uQUr94DOMBBScwTfr9ofIR18cNnDc2uO6cxLsZSAC7h_b1WyN6vf1JcZ4-qodNpxywEuO0nfz-JeE1_wutP4kljObghZDTvB3re7m5kc_-coQ/s400/bilde-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572911344989054114" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_UBxMFZvERbS_EZIAjgQxKRansO1JYSgJBy6MhOHjJaZJKL0JwCjMZWbXlaadEE1mbq40ijFfVU4_WGZLd9x9GVrTVhGTVwcawh_Sdl-dp1XQlXUIjRFv1jbtrpMBjpp6uCLz3w/s1600/bilde-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 235px; height: 352px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_UBxMFZvERbS_EZIAjgQxKRansO1JYSgJBy6MhOHjJaZJKL0JwCjMZWbXlaadEE1mbq40ijFfVU4_WGZLd9x9GVrTVhGTVwcawh_Sdl-dp1XQlXUIjRFv1jbtrpMBjpp6uCLz3w/s400/bilde-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572911339022805618" /></a><br />Last night lived up to the hype. After PCHS won the first on a three at the buzzer in Double OT, this one didn't disappoint. Even Mark Carrow, one whose been a part of and seen a lot of sports in life (to say lightly) was caught, jaw dropped saying, "Jeff, this is what it's about. I don't think I have seen in a long time high schoolers play with ICE in their veins like this, hitting incredibly gutsy shots. I have got my hs basketball fix in for a long time." <br /><br />It happened in front of a packed crowd and standing room only (including the likes of former dawg ballers like Luke Addis, etc) and ravenous student sections (PCHS dominating that factor). The Lampi-Carrow posse was in full form with a lil cameo of Jorge Reck. Add to the mix a random enormous MEXICO FLAG being swung from our student section????? it was electric. And after another OT (and an inappropriate "HUEVOS" gesture from yours truly following PCHS' Drew Stephens-pictured-3 ball to go to OT, BHS frickin sank like 10-in-a-row free throws to make it official.<br /><br />Unreal. Here are some pics, one of B-town's D-1 prospect Superman Ben Kills (#10) showing his mad hops. Jake, wish you were there. And maybe, if they clash in Districts (very likely) Bill can use some frequent flyers. Wes come up. Steve-o welled up. My dad, fist pumped and yelled in my ear.c-unitsdaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05668427925778315178noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11060691.post-53680640416911231632011-01-28T16:14:00.002-05:002011-01-28T16:19:44.798-05:00Whaaaat?!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9rk_SuKuYZdzDrcFl-xB_kZsuCMe9AqTxr3WWLhfvhvtZv3z31h_QNLa4nYCK8Lb6Liys2YBxcUBUlmrPTbkUrrh26Ko-MzlY8xo9-JqXddiSuhpci7tdZo-oqMz-pLXrv59QJw/s1600/bilde.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9rk_SuKuYZdzDrcFl-xB_kZsuCMe9AqTxr3WWLhfvhvtZv3z31h_QNLa4nYCK8Lb6Liys2YBxcUBUlmrPTbkUrrh26Ko-MzlY8xo9-JqXddiSuhpci7tdZo-oqMz-pLXrv59QJw/s320/bilde.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567348352779884210" /></a>Mad props to Zack "Novacaine" Novak and the Wolverines for taking it to State in their place.

Our students are wonderful and and when "the rubber meets the road", they get things done - for others. So proud to be their teacher. This is what the founder of Invisible Children sent me last night to share with our club before today's screening of their film "The Rescue" and final day of Schools 4 Schools competition. <iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyYrYjbxdFa0PoK7-ebT3nVCcyaxh-iPQHi8QJ-zt1qnFvysv7H5dDwimgDBqD4602nd5At_wJwVCk' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br /><br />Just realized it didn't quite upload right plus cut off end - voiceover jaja -c-unitsdaddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05668427925778315178noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11060691.post-17929948594424798382010-12-06T20:40:00.002-05:002010-12-06T20:43:20.006-05:00Please, if you get a chance........http://www.universityreformedchurch.org/<br /><br />Last weekend's sermon on:<br /><br />The Son of Man Came to Serve<br />Mark 10:32-45<br /><br />Unbelievable.

(Classic Debbie)So texting is a new fad with our parents these days and who can blame them for not quite getting the lingo down as fast as our tech-savy generation has. There are many types of lingo...for example-rofl (rolling on floor laughing), cul8tr (see you later), lmao (laughing my @$$ off) and of course lol (laugh out loud). It is such a time saver to know these and to communicate in such great time efficient ways is a blessing from the creative human mind. That is if you actually know what they mean. Which leads me to my beloved mother, Debbie. She has been under the impression that "lol" is "lots of love". So she has been ending quite a few texts to people with the closing "lol", thinking she was expressing her care for people in a new way. So my mom decided to send my sister in law, who has had a child going through some physical ailments for the past month, some encouraging texts. She expressed her care by ending each text "lol". Jen thought it was a bit weird, but ignored it for a while. Finally this week my mom sent Jen a text that went something like this..."Jen we are praying for you and all the hardships you and your family are going through right now...LOL." I thought it might be a good time to fill her in as to what that actually meant before she offended too many people. So no worries, Debbie is back on track. Hope all is well. Looking forward to more times with our parents trying to adjust to this culture thing. LOL!<br /><br /><br />Stevesteve lampihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12763766188079056715noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11060691.post-26093705674213546352010-11-12T13:31:00.002-05:002010-11-12T13:38:33.756-05:00Crean and Crimson<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hcLX2frkjF8/TN2JbCfOndI/AAAAAAAAGTI/7SoThHyqWN0/s1600/crean.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 225px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hcLX2frkjF8/TN2JbCfOndI/AAAAAAAAGTI/7SoThHyqWN0/s320/crean.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538734214352903634" border="0" /></a><br />There was a lot of buzz in Indiana this week because IU signed two top recruits for next year and has a load of others lining up for the coming years. The media wanted to have a press conference to talk about signing new recruits Zeller and Etherington and Crean walks in with every player on the current team behind him and lays this out...<br /><br /><blockquote><span style="font-size:85%;">"When these players came, especially a couple of years ago, they didn’t have anybody to look up to. They didn’t have anybody in here to teach them the way. They literally, when you look at Verdell, and you look at Tommy and you look at Matt, they didn’t have anybody to even recruit them. They were recruited by driving around in a golf cart or going to a spring football practice, or something like that. And a long the way these players have become the face of the program. That’s why it is so important to me and to all of us here, that they are successful. What they mean to the present day Indiana family and what they mean to the future family is really, really important. These guys have done a phenomenal job of building this program. They recruited some of the ones you see back there like Victor and Will, but most importantly what they just did in this recruiting class. Without a doubt, one of the greatest selling points that we have at Indiana University is our players. And these guys have (inaudible). And that’s why I want to see them be successful here and for so many years down the road because it’s so different for them. They’re the ones that are bridging the gap here and we just need to make sure that we keep working toward the fact that they leave a legacy here on the court as well as what they’re doing to make this program better. We would not be recruiting to the level that we are right now without our players. And I can’t make that any more definitive than that. Players can spearhead part of this, and certainly through prior relationships that can be very helpful, but it’s the way the team has come together. There’s a lot of different ways to form leadership but this group is forming leadership. You may not get to see a lot of Kori Barnett on the court but there’s not a much more valuable guy to this program in the sense of bonding his teammates and making them better. And I single him out because he does not get singled out on the court just yet. But that’s the kind of stuff that makes this program what it is. I’m proud of it and I hope you find places in your videos and I hope you find places in your stories to make sure that the headline reads “We would not be doing this without them, without these current players.” They did not have anybody in here to teach them the ropes. And we wouldn’t have wanted anyone (from before) to teach them the ropes. You know that and I know that that. I’ve said this privately before but now I want to say it publicly to the players. Thank you for what you do and let’s keep it rolling.”</span></blockquote>Echoes of Norman Dale... I love that guy!
