Building Project...

A month or so ago, Kellen decided he was going to be a baseball player when he grows up. This came about after Geof and my dad started Kellen's baseball card collection. Kellen told us that when he's a ball player, we will need to change his name to "Ronnie Wooten," because it sounds much better for a baseball player than "Kellen" (he invented the name Ronnie Wooten himself - as far as we can tell, Mr. Wooten is actually a music professor in the Midwest!). Anyway, more recently, Kellen has decided that he would rather be an architect, which would make my dad and brother very proud! He can keep the name Kellen as an architect (which makes me happy!), and he has mapped out a very busy life for himself. He plans to build houses, tall buildings, and churches, and play trombone and drums at church, and play baseball and tennis on the side. All this while living in the house he wants to build that will have TWO master suites and a bigger garage so that Geof and I can live with him, he can have a bigger room, and he can have a place to park his own silver minivan (sorry preschool girls - Kellen has informed us that he wants to live with Mom and Dad forever, so he's not getting married).

During the past two days, while the weather has been so hot, we've been building a house out of scrap materials we've found around the house. I'm thinking that from a career perspective, Kellen's well on his way to being a contractor/interior decorator as he's much more concerned with the placement of air conditioning vents and drain pipes and making quilts for the beds!
