A Good Conversation
Sunday, February 22, 2009
Yesterday, I had a great time talking with my
dad. No special occasion, no immediate emergency
- just a nice conversation. He brought up a bunch
of really positive things going on...and one
negative. Do the math. My introduction to
statistics course is almost finished and I am
about mathed-out, but this was a simple task.
Skyler went to a classmate's birthday party at Peter Piper Pizza. Thankfully, I drove separately, so I used my excuse of claustrophobia to get out of there fairly quickly.
A few days ago we got Grandpa Whitehair's chess game from Grandma Donna. Skyler loves the pieces and one day I will show him how to play (badly).
This first photo was taken during our trip to Florida a few years ago.
Grandpa is watching Josh and Patrick play a serious game.
I just took this photo of Skyler and the new home for Grandpa's chess game.

33
Saturday, February 14, 2009
Yesterday, I turned 33. Not a landmark age, but
it's a little farther from my twenties. Renea
brought pizza and dessert for me and my lunch
gang, which was a nice surprise. I ended the day
watching Family Guy Spaceship (aka Blue Harvest) with Skyler.
It's our favorite movie. Notice the
spaceship he made all by himself!
Valentine's Day was great because after Skyler's swim lessons, he and I ran some errands, including getting his mom flowers, a special mini-cake, and three balloons. I only got to pick out a card for Renea. Ashley showed up unannounced and stayed for the day. She said she'll be returning next weekend.

Celebrating Birthdays
Sunday, February 08, 2009
Yesterday, we celebrated my mom and my birthdays
at the Wildlife World Zoo. It's been
a couple of years since our
last visit.
Skyler loved the new aquarium and water ride. He enjoyed spending time in the petting zoo, but didn't like it when a turkey bit him.
Tonight, we spent some time at Mark and Jenny's. Skyler played with the twins and I jammed on bass in a newly-formed band, The Midlife Crisis-eese. It's been a few years since I played and it was pretty fun.
Check out the photos.

Ashley's Birthday and Superbowl
Thursday, February 05, 2009
Last weekend, Ashley visited (and got some of her
mail). Her birthday was on the 26th, so we
celebrated with family while she was here. 21! I
can't believe how old she is now. Here is a photo
from when I remember her during middle school.
Here is the closest I could get with a couple of military buddies during her recent stay.
On Sunday, Renea and I took Skyler to a Superbowl party and had a fun time with friends. Of course, Skyler and I had to wear our "Big Guy, Little Guy" matching shirts.
