This week has been pretty good. We finally got Gavin into the crib, but he seems to be waking up at 5 am’ish every morning. I feel bad for Christine because I don’t even hear her get up to pick up him anymore at that time. I try to help, but only if I could hear it all to get up. I guess naturally I’m becoming a heavier sleeper. Anyway, other than that work has been going well. The project(s) I’m on are going smoothly.

Nothing really new to say though. Christmas lists are starting and I have to start figuring out what everyone wants. I’m excited for Thanksgiving though. I’ll get some time to spend with Christine and Gavin.

By the way if you guys didn’t get to see new pictures, they’re on the flickr site (www.flickr.com/vooboo13). Take care all,

Haven’t written here in a while

Not much has changed though. The baby’s due in about 8 weeks, and we’ve just been taking care of the house. The dogs are doing fine and are healthy.

We’ve been trying to get plants (and keep them alive). So far we’ve been successful.

Other than that, everything’s doing pretty well.

As far as the stock market goes, it’s been rough with the oil scare and speculation that goes with it. Right now I’m holding onto my AOB shares because I think they’re a great company that’s getting knocked down due to the oil crisis right now.

Great way to end the weekend

Today was pretty fun. We were up late (read the last post), so we got a late start. We went to church, then after that we hung out at the house for a few minutes. After we took the dogs out for a quick walk, we went over to Christine’s parents’ to celebrate Robin’s Birthday.

We ended up getting him a set of really, really nice wine glasses. I think he liked them.

Anyway, we took a bunch of pictures if you want to see:

Rock Band and… Sadie to the ER!

whoisvu — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 15:34:38 +0000

So yesterday was pretty fun. Mark and Kristin came in from Scranton and it was the first time they came in after they got engaged. We had a couple of people over: Blair, Matt, Katie, Ivan, John, Jesse. We ordered some hoagies from Frank’s and played Smash brothers, Rock band, and some people played pool downstairs too.

I got a chance to try out the new camera on people this time! I got a lot of good pictures. I love how it’s just so fast, and now that the pictures are in really high resolution, I have no fear of printing it in a large size and having it be pixelated.

After everyone left, we caught Sadie licking on the floor at what appeared to be gum. We panicked because dogs can’t eat gum like Orbit or any of those because they can die. So we called around to see who was chewing gum. We found out that it was Stride, which contains the same ingredients as Orbit gum, so we had to take Sadie to the ER to make sure that she was going to be alright. The doctor’s charged us $65 for them to call the poison control… on top of the ER costs. I think that seems a little ridiculous.

Anyway, everything is well. The dogs are ok, and we had a lot of fun.

Take a look at our dining room!

I took pictures of our freshly painted dining room. You guys should take a look, it turned out really well. It took us about.. 3 days. We took our time though. One day (Sunday) we went and got the paint, then did the walls. The next day we put up the photos/frames, then we painted the baseboards and put up the curtain.

Next up.. the baby room!
