Elliot Allen Ames arrived on Earth around 3:20am this past Monday morning. Due to the planet’s gravity, he registered 6 lbs 11 oz and he was 19.5 inches long. His 2 sisters Savannah and Sydney, who had arrived on the planet 2 and 5 years prior, were delighted to finally fulfill their dreams to hold him in their arms.
It’s no secret, Carlos Whitaker loves time lapse video. Last year he recorded his family decorating the tree using an awesome song from August Burns Red. This year, I decided to follow suit.
![It’s a [Insert Gender Here]!](http://dewde.com/wp-content/themes/metamorphosis/thumb.php?src=http://dewde.com/wp-content/uploads/1-GenderReveal.png&h=90&w=200&zc=1&q=90)
Today we discovered the gender of our third child. Naturally, I made a video in Target.
While all the well-to-do rich folk are enjoying perfectly grilled filet mignon and salmon on the deck of the clubhouse, we’re lounging about on the back nine, sipping sweet tea and chewing on the Colonel’s extra crispy fried chicken, in our own private Eden.
I’m not advocating that people who do not use cuss words start using them in order to artificially impress others. Unless of course someone has a video camera rolling because as that scene plays out in my mind it is awkward and hilarious. What I am advocating, or at least questioning, is whether or not we should be judging Christians who already use cuss words as a natural part of their vocabulary.
I reach up and write with large, friendly letters the words “Stupid American” into the fog, followed by an arrow that points down and ends where my face begins. The words are written backwards inside the bus so that spectators outside the bus can read them in the right direction.
And there it was. The moment. The kind of moment that, as a parent, you both long for and fear at the same time. But as an Uncle, you get utterly blindsided by its very existence. One second I’m sucking down a hot dog twice as long as my large intestine, the next I’m staring down a once in a lifetime opportunity to validate this boy’s very existence.

God came out of the closet this week proving that yes, indeed, he is punking me after all. I may have two separate videos aired, one on Mtv, and one on Christian television.

I don’t know if this means I have a successful blog. I do know that I have benefitted from this transaction considerably. I’ve always been a reader and that hasn’t changed. But now I feel myself becoming a writer. I’ve started to read books and blogs on writing. And sure, this may all be flights of passing fancy, but also, it may not.

Today we go spelunking deep into the far reaches Dewdette’s womb to discover the gender of our unborn child.
Care to take a wager?
What will the gender be, of Ames baby number 3?(trends)

We tried to warn her. She thought it was funny at first. You’ll notice her hamming it up, until the candy bit her back!
Experience is the best teacher, right?

You may have spotted me making my rounds on the Internet this week.
First, one of my posts was picked up as an article for Transparent Christian Magazine, a site run by Jason Elkins. Quite an honor.
Then this morning I discovered that a comment of mine won a contest over at Stuff Christians Like. The [...]
