    • First time smoking pork butt. Interrupted by rain. Switched to oven, too cold. Went back to the smoker. Smells great - letting it rest. Yum! @ 5:04 pm

    Matthew is Cooing and Squealing

    Kent Cowgill

    Lisa and I have been hard at work raising our son, Matthew. It's about all we can do to keep some sense of sanity while continuing to be productive at our respective employers while doing our best to make sure we do everything we're supposed to do to foster the positive development of our budding progeny.

    So forgive us if we're tickled pink when we can get some positive feedback of our own, in the form of the cutest little coos and squeals from our son.

    On cue, even.

    As if he's actually enjoying his time with us.

    Amazing.
