Lasik – pre-surgery update

One of my goals for this year was to undergo Lasik surgery to improve my vision. I started wearing glasses in 7th grade and switched to contacts in 9th grade, so it’s been a long run with corrected vision for me. I’m really looking forward to being able to wake up in the morning andContinue reading “Lasik – pre-surgery update”

Easter/Birthday Weekend

We had a fun Easter/Becky’s Birthday weekend. We were forced into taking a vacation by the fact we didn’t have day care on Friday and Monday. It’s a good thing we were forced since we had a good time. We headed back to Onida on Thursday night. Friday morning Becky and I left theContinue reading “Easter/Birthday Weekend”

Amelia update

First, I really need to get my picture off the top of the blog. Second, I need to keep talking about Amelia and her appetite, because people don’t really believe it until they see her eat. For example, tonight she ate what I would call two adult servings of green beans, one adult servingContinue reading “Amelia update”

Say Cheese

I was given a LifeCam VX-6000, so I had to try it out. Here I am at work, looking like a dork. It appears I have similar luck getting rid of animated bugs on my screen as I do getting rid of real bugs in my back yard. > I deleted the photo since IContinue reading “Say Cheese”

Fantasy Baseball Draft

I hosted 11 other guys today for our fantasy baseball draft – usually one of the most anticipated days of the year. The draft went pretty well with no major fights, nothing was broken in the house, and I think we finished in record time. I’m pretty happy with my team – overall IContinue reading “Fantasy Baseball Draft”

Tickets from around the world

I’ve been keeping tickets from various concerts, baseball games and other places we’ve been. I don’t really ever look through this drawer to reminisce, so I’m not sure why I keep them all. I bring this up tonight because Katie has just gone through my door and thrown all my tickets on the floor inContinue reading “Tickets from around the world”

Changing the dialogue

It’s been a little while since I’ve made time for an entry. One new thing in our world is that Amelia has decided to speak up. We’ve kept her Nuk out of her mouth more often now, and the outcome has been a lot of talking. It’s goo-goo this and ga-ga that. She really likesContinue reading “Changing the dialogue”

Mobile phone

Quick entry – I’m on a plane heading back from San Diego and I think it’s cool that I can blog from my mobile phone. I must say I’ve used it extensively this week and it’s been good. So other than the pesky problems of no service at home, the fact I can’t hear itContinue reading “Mobile phone”

Insatiable

We have been snowed in the last couple days – having received 10 or so inches of snow with some strong winds. We were planning to go to the Cities this weekend and visit Uncle Dave at his new house, but it sounds like the roads aren’t good enough for travel. Amelia has beenContinue reading “Insatiable”

Stories from Seattle

I was going to title this Sleepless in Seattle – but that’s been done a few too many times. I was out in Seattle for work this week, so it’s been a long week of meetings and travel. I started this when I was at work Wednesday at 10:19 PT (12:19 at home), and I wasn’t havingContinue reading “Stories from Seattle”
