For Christmas I tried to put together a special surprise for Jennifer and the kids, including our little girl who has not yet arrived.
After consulting with our friend Captain Jeff, who does all of the …

So a few minutes ago I’m in the kitchen, working on show prep for today and tomorrow, when I heard a truck in the driveway.
It was a UPS truck, and yet we haven’t ordered anything.
I was thinking it was probably a book or DVD or something sent to us for The Catholics Next Door, but then the driver got off the truck with a pretty large box.
My first thought was that perhaps either Jennifer or I had ordered something for Christmas, and completed forgot we did, and it was just now showing up.
I took it inside, opened it up, and was totally confused to find a package of newborn diapers.
The invoice slip was hidden in the bottom of the box. Apparently a good priest friend of ours must have been listening to the show the other day when we said we were still in denial about getting ready for the baby and it was too funny of an opportunity to pass up.
Here’s what the note said:
“I hope this helps on the Diaper front! Happy New Year and Merry Christmas! Peace, Fr. Bill Kessler”
Diapers from a priest. Never thought I’d see the day.
You rock, Fr. Bill!
Jennifer and Greg at 38 weeks pregnant:

Happy New Year from our family to yours!
We had a nice, laid back evening hanging out with our friends Mac and Katherine (hosts of Catholic in a Small Town Podcast).

This is one of those instances where, as parents, we don’t know whether to be proud or horrified.

One of the many board games we got for the family for Christmas is Blokus. It’s sort of like a Tetris board game for up to four players.
One thing I’ve learned from …
After apparently dodging the bullet of an eye infection the other day, this morning Tommy woke up with goopy junk in his eye that looked much worse than mine felt this past Saturday.
I wasted …
We started our very first vacation since starting our radio show back in September.
Even though we only started broadcasting then, we spent most of August getting ready, and before that, we were totally swept …
I gotta say, we have an awesome crew for The Catholics Next Door, our show on The Catholic Channel.
With today being our last show until the day after Christmas, we’re all in a festive mood, …
I guess I’m a loser.
Our friend Erika Anderson, she of former Georgia Bulletin staff writer fame, posted this over on Facebook (you can find me there, as well as Jennifer). I thought it was …
Once I made the discovery that Greg never had eggnog, I knew I had to take advantage of this opportunity. What a perfect time to taste it live on the air. I made sure he …
I don’t usually eat them. But today, I thought why not relive an old childhood pleasure. My boys love to help themselves to this on some mornings. I have taught them repeatedly about …

My friend Jeb asked how much equipment was between his ear and us doing our radio show on Sirius 159/XM 117. This video will hopefully answer the question.
