Wow, it’s been 6 weeks since my last blog entry.  I need to get back on the horse.  A lot has happened over the past 6 weeks and many items deserve their own blog entry.  Here are some things I should write about:   My trip to Orlando for work Doodlebops Concert/Zach’s Birthday Becky’s BirthdayContinue reading “Falling Behind”

Today was Amelia’s 2 year check-up.  Going to the doctor has been frequent and not fun for Amelia up to this point, but that changed for the better today.  First, we got her measurements – 27.6 pounds and 32 3/4 inches tall which puts her in the 20% for height and the 60% for weight. Continue reading “A Good Doctor’s Visit”

Katie sang in church this weekend.  We have the videos to prove it. I failed to get the part between songs when she said "Hi Daddy" when the church was silent.   Links to videos of Katie singing in church:   God Is Love Praise Ye the Lord I’m in the Lord’s Army  

I should first start out by saying it sure is nice that our jobs our flexible.  I’ve had to work from home three days this week with Becky joining me for 1 1/2 days.  Amelia had diarrhea on Tuesday but was at daycare.  That night, she couldn’t keep anything down, so we thought Wednesday mightContinue reading “This Week in Review”

Amelia turned two this week, and seems to be ready to move forward after a bit of a long year.  She was so happy today at her party – having fun with her cousins, eating her cake and playing with her new toys – it was great to see.  Maybe it was just because weContinue reading “Amelia’s 2nd Birthday”

We had a pretty laid back weekend.  Friday night we did nothing and Saturday we hung around home all morning and headed out to shop in the afternoon.  Apparently the fact that the temperature hit 20 for the first time in a month brought everyone out of the woodwork, because it was like Christmas trafficContinue reading “Weekend Catch-Up”

It seems like when we get home from work each night is when our work day really begins.  We pick up the girls by 5:30 and head on home.  Amelia needs to eat (or be distracted) immediately because she’s always hungry, and she’s been conditioned to eat as soon as she gets home.  If weContinue reading “Nightly Schedule”

We had Katie’s first big girl birthday party today as she turned 4 this week.  I call it a big girl party, since there were no other parents involved.  That was great for Katie, but by the end both Becky and I were trying to see if we had any alcohol in the house.  Continue reading “The Big Girl Birthday Party”

Katie’s birthday is coming up soon, and it’s starting to dawn on me that she’s growing up.  She’s going to preschool and Sunday school and all that, but now that she’s actually gaining a year on her age, it seems like time is going by fast.  It’s amazing she’s grown from a 7 pound babyContinue reading “Good-bye 3 Year Old”

I seem to be suffering from analysis paralysis – I have too much to write about but I can’t think of enough interesting to say about any particular topic to make for a good entry.  So I’ll take the easy way out and just bullet point my way through a list of recent happenings:  Continue reading “General update”
