A Prince's Night Out

Since our church doesn't officially host a father/son night, Robbie decided to get all of the dads and sons together from our small group for a father/son outing to GattiTown for March Madness 2013. We talked about the special "Prince's Night Out" for several days with Rylan prior to the big event. On Friday, March 22nd, Robbie and Rylan dressed alike in their Alabama jerseys and jeans and headed to GattiTown to meet the rest of the boys. Rylan was so excited to dress like daddy and gladly waved bye to Kaelyn and I as they left the house. (Kaelyn was a bit disappointed to not be "allowed" for the boys night out.)


Robbie said the night was great and they had a wonderful turnout. Rylan loved playing the bowling game with the balls. He's very into any sporting activity involving balls right now. Robbie taught him the phrase "No Girls Allowed, Only Boys" in the car on the way there. Apparently, Rylan loved saying it over and over and the other boys (Rylan is the youngest) thought he was hilarious. He says it often still today in his loudest voice possible. We laugh over and over because it's so precious.

I count the Lord's blessings daily with our sweet little family. It's times like these when I'm especially grateful for a wonderful husband and daddy that takes time to plan and attend such important events with our children. These are the moments Kaelyn and Rylan will cherish forever. Robbie is such a special daddy and best friend to me, and I'm so lucky he chose me!

Dear Kristen and Robbie,

I work with Avaaz.org, a 30-million-person global campaign community that works to ensure that the views and values of the world's people help shape global decision-making on issues like human rights and social justice.

While looking for an image to use in a Christmas-themed advertisement for a privacy-campaign we’re running in Canada, I came across your fantastic blog page and I’d like to know if we can use one of the images you've posted -- the one of your adorable daughter with Santa.

This is what our campaign is about:
The Canadian government is trying to pass a law that could systematically dismantle key civil liberties by making it easier for authorities to spy on everything we do online and even secretly track our movements. This is link to our campaign: http://www.avaaz.org/en/harpers_web_loc/

This is scary stuff and we’re doing everything we can to help stop it, including running a one-day ad in a newspaper in the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. We’d love to be able to use the image of your daughter Kaelyn crying on Santa’s lap in that advertisement if it’s ok with you. This ad could be a crucial step in stopping this invasion of our privacy, and the picture of your daughter would be wonderful to use for it.

Can you please send me a quick note at your earliest convenience and let me know if this is ok with you? I’d be happy to discuss further as well. Please feel free to let me know how best to reach you by phone as well. You can reach me at: jeremy.waiser@avaaz.org

Merry Christmas, talk soon,
Jeremy
