Hickok Family Website

So I put this post up last week and noticed that today it wasn’t up. This new wordpress admin thingy does not work right. Anywhoooo. Hope you had a great birthday and that you enjoyed every minute of it. By the post you wrote it sounds as if you did. Thanks for being a great brother and streeeeeetching my mind.

I think Micah wants to be like me. He’s already started trying to use the computer. Maybe in a year I can convince him to do some work for me. Or! Maybe He can start making websites and earn extra income. Hmmmmm! I think i’ll try and teach him early…Or maybe not. I’ll just let him be a kid for a while.

Well as you probably know I enjoy tech stuff and like to figure out new ways of doing things. I just put the plugin on wordpress for mobile browsers. It works great. It’s called wordpress PDA. It allows the website to show in a mobile browser without downloading all of the pictures. It makes viewing the site much easier. Great plugin. If you happen to have a wordpress website this is a great plugin for you. I have put it on all of our website so that mobile browsers can surf the site. If you have a PDA or something check it out.

Hey everyone.  The Hickok family site is back and running.  We have had some problems with hosting services and such, but now they are squared away.  We also lost the cable to our camera but were able to download the pictures to cd’s finally.  So that means here come the pictures.  We will try and put them up tonight for everyone to see how big Micah is getting.  See ya later.

Well I suppose we should probably update this site every once in a while.  We are all doing great after getting through the sick season.  I got it pretty good and Tori and Micah have been able to skirt by without having any problems (as of yet).  Church and life is busy of course and we work hard at not allowing business to be a mark of success and being busy for busy sake.  Micah hasn’t had any more problems after his little episode and we are extremely thankful for that.  All the hospital bills have rolled in and it is amazing to me the ways they try and get paid more then once.  We have ten or more bills from all over the place from people we don’t even know and didn’t remember seeing.  It is quite sad in fact.  But we are thankful that we have a great doctor for Micah and they were on top of what was going on.

The church is pluggin along.  We seem to be hoping from one thing to the next so quick it is hard to catch a breath.  This week is the “amazing race” all over Tucson.  It should be a great event. The prep is much larger than other events so that makes it somewhat harder.  It is quite enjoyable to run.  We keep losing teens from the teen group by families moving.  Another teen is moving away next week and I am sorry to see them go.  We are having some visitors to our events and I am still praying and working with the teens to have them invite their friends.  It’s coming along.

Tori is still tutoring and teaching piano.  She seems to really enjoy that and has quite a few tutoring students.  We have to work hard at keeping our schedules together because of the uncertainty of the schedule we both have. Maybe that has more to do with the way we live thought than the actual schedules.  Oh well.

We love hearing from everyone so feel free to give us a call or comment.  Take care.

Does anyone really know what spangled means? Tori and I looked it up the other day and it is quite interesting seeing as our flag is no longer in a circle. You’ll have to look it up. Here’s an interesting wav file my dad sent me. Very good clip.

Sorry about the missing pictures and videos.  After moving the blog over from blogger I didn’t bring all the extra stuff with it.  We’ll work on getting them back up.  See ya.

Here is a video of a lucky Kayaker.
