"The Year In Review" Meme

A great idea from RevScott:

If it's been going around my friends, is it a viral meme? I dunno. Anyway, the idea is this: go back and find the first sentence of the first blog post of each month for the past year. Consider yourself tagged if you've stayed with me this far.

January:
Okay, so this isn't technically one of the patented "Dr. Cox rants," but it's funny and involves Dr. Cox and makes a point, so I wanted to post it.

February:
Last night while lying in bed, waiting to fall asleep, I had one of those nighttime revelations: a year ago today was the first day that I was no longer officially employed by the Lutheran Student Center.

March:
Paul Simon (the musician, not the politician) was at my church Wednesday during our Lenten worship service.

April:
You know Palm Sunday has made an impression on your three year-old when after church, he hears the 80's pop hit Rosanna by Toto and starts singing along with the stereo: "Hosanna, hosanna..."

May:
It's been a busy couple of weeks, hence my absence from the blogosphere as of late.

June:
Once again, an unintended long absence.

July:
Saturday night, Sweetie and I took Kiddo and his best friend Peanut (like "Kiddo", not his real name) to a baseball game in Omaha.

August:
Well, we went in to see Sweetie's OB doc today so she could get an exam and have an ultrasound done.

September:
I'm still around, and I'm still planning on blogging...this pregnancy has just been kicking Sweetie's and my collective butts (whatever a "collective butt" is) the past month.

October:
My aim yesterday was to celebrate the coming of the major league baseball playoffs (and the Red Sox's win in game one) by taking a video of Kiddo singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame.

November:
Well, Sweetie had her 2nd trimester ultrasound on Wednesday afternoon (yep, that's right, Halloween).

December:
I stumbled on this and it was too well done not to share...especially if you're a fan of the old Muppet Show.
