Ages

It sure has been ages since my last post. I don't exactly know why I haven't posted, probably mostly from being very busy and then just plain forgetting to post. We have taken tons of photos of Kaleb's, but the process of rating them, uploading and posting them is apparently too much at this point. Hopefully, it will change soon.

Kaleb has grown up quite a bit over the last month or so. He has mostly switched from using signs to actually saying words, which you may think is good, but at least the signs were pretty clear cut where the words are sometimes hard to figure out. Mom, milk, tomato and lawn mower all sound pretty much the same. We are managing though and he is picking up more and more words everyday. He also understands tons of words he can't say and follows directions more than ever. As for sleeping there was a really good stretch where he would sleep from 8pm until 4 or 5, but now he is back to waking up around 12:30 or 2:30. We have been very good about putting him back to bed, despite the price we pay for being up so late.

Work has been okay lately. It has been busy, but not really with much new stuff, just fixing some of the stuff we worked on over the last few months. Basically same old same old there.

I am getting pretty excited for the coming weekend because I am going down to Tampa for the last two home games of the Rays season. It is lining up like they probably won't get first place, but are nearly assured their first playoff spot. My fingers are crossed that they clinch a playoff spot during one of the games I attend. Currently there magic number over the Twins is 7, with four games against them this week. They just need to register a win against the Red Sox and they will be on their way.

Okay now I have to get back to work.

Annual BBQ Time

Mid August Fun


We had our second annual BBQ at the house and it was a success. This year we grilled pizza and everybody loved it. After all of the festivities at the house we then went to the beach to cool off. The waves were huge and the water was warm (for Salisbury). All in all it was a great weekend.

Home Alone

Jennifer and Kaleb have gone off on vacation, so I am again home alone. It is a work week so I am sure to busy, but I still miss them. Last night, Mark and Kate came up to visit and we went did a local food tour first stopping at Skip's (which is not closing) and then to Hodgie's for some ice cream. We then came back to the house and I showed off the Wii Balance Board.

We did some major work at the house over the weekend. It was a two fold effort, Jon worked on putting up a railing and squaring off the upper deck and I tore apart the old lower deck. Now there is just a dirt area next to the shed where the lower deck used to be and a couple of cement footings (out of the ground). The ground is very damp and hopefully now that it is exposed to the open air it will dry out, before I start leveling it out and creating a nice patio or terraced lawn area.

That's all for now.
