Check out what my nieces and nephew found during their trip to Florida … I need to get me one of those!

When is divorce the right (or “acceptable”) choice in a marriage?

How can a person who has chosen to remain abstinent until marriage find a sexually compatible mate?

This variation of the biblical story Daniel and the Lion’s Den was made by my nieces, Grace and Rachel, my nephew Drew, and some of their friends in Indianapolis. Aren’t they fantastic?

Tomorrow I’m taking two of my nephews, Nathaniel and Caleb, to the last Cleveland Browns game of the season. We’re gonna ride the train into the city, getting there just early enough to explore the stadium and get hyped up. Then we’ll head to our seats in the corner of the upper deck to brave the cold weather and cheer them on to victory!

At this point, it’s still a secret … I’m going to reveal it first thing in the morning, and I can’t wait to see their excitement!

Steve and Erica’s first son has arrived on the scene … and from the looks of things, he’s already strong and sassy (check out those guns!).

Welcome to the world, Nathaniel Stephen Webel!

This past weekend I went to Indianapolis to visit my sister and her family. We cheered Drew on at his football game, picked pumpkins at a local farm, and celebrated the baptism of all three kids (see the photo set and slideshow).

It was fantastic!

I just found out that my father is driving down tomorrow from Akron to visit for the weekend and help me look for homes. Yippee!

Yesterday my brother and his family rented a speedboat for the afternoon. I was one of the casualties.

My nephew Nathaniel composed the music … pretty sweet, eh?

I spent the last week and a half with my parents, three siblings, and their families (including ten kids!) at a big house in Tazeville, Tennessee. It was great … I golfed a few rounds, kayaked a bit, played a ton of Monopoly, went tubing on the lake, chatted it up with my family, and ate a lot of good food.

I’ve uploaded 38 photos from the vacation (see the set or slideshow). As you can see, it was constantly entertaining and really refreshing too!

Congratulations to my cousins, Paul and Sarah, on the birth of their first son, Joshua Paul Webel. Look out, world … he’s gonna be one special kid, the never-before-seen combination of Webel and Sears blood!
