Winos
Saturday, May 30, 2009
We celebrated our
friend, Chet's, birthday at Postino. I managed to get a
couple of import beers and loved the bruschetta and panini. Don't ask us how much
Renea and I spent.
Terrorizing Cousins
Thursday, May 28, 2009
Today, Renea's stepsister and her two daughter
came to visit us during their big road trip. It
was really good to see them and we spent the
night swimming and listening to loud music. Even
one of our neighbors had to lean over the wall
and ask us to turn it down! I hope we get to see
them again soon.

Renea Celebrates Early!
Thursday, May 21, 2009
Today, the office
staff at work celebrated Renea's birthday a couple of weeks
early, since school is out. She told me not
to celebrate it again, but I need some help.
Renea deserves a party!
Skyler 365
Wednesday, May 20, 2009
This week, I started taking headshot photos of
Skyler each day to show a slow and steady
progression of his growth. Here is the first
shot, taken on his 4th birthday.
Renea and I also finished our last week of school and had a pleasant 8th grade promotion that included zero problems! Skyler was helping me get the students ready and then guard the gates. He first had to tumble with Miss Bland.

Skyler's Birthday Weekend
Sunday, May 17, 2009
This weekend we celebrated Skyler's birthday with
a party at our house and then a party at his
cousin Lukas' house, who is also turning four
years old. I got my new camera and tested it
out underwater and used it for all the
photos. It takes good video, too.
Skyler wanted a Star Wars party, so I had a boombox on the front porch playing Darth Vader's theme music, his cake had a Darth Vader mask, the pinata was a Darth Vader head, and the party favors included little inflatable light sabers that even lit up.

Ice Cream Man
Thursday, May 14, 2009
After work and school,
Skyler and I were by ourselves at home and I heard
the ice cream man's truck off in the distance. We
decided to find it, but had to jump in the car to
track it down. Just as it was leaving the
neighborhood, we found it and waved it down. Skyler
was in his underwear, but didn't mind as he picked
out a treat.

Mothers' Day Weekend
Monday, May 11, 2009
Renea and I got to spend time with our moms this
weekend. Saturday, we had a nice lunch at
Rúla Búla with my side of the
family. Renea's side of the family came over
on Sunday for swimming and celebrating
Margo's 60th birthday. Skyler and Nathan had
fun in the pool. At school, Skyler made some
artwork for his mommy. We put it in our
hallway near the garage, where we put up
lots of creative things made by Skyler.
It was a tiring weekend for Skyler.

Our First Day of Summer
Saturday, May 09, 2009
Today marks the first
day we jumped in the pool, so I officially proclaim
that summer is here! We went in around 5PM and
Renea and I scraped some of the built-up calcium
deposits on along the walls. The water temperature
was about 82 degrees and we also heated up the hot
tub. Skyler enjoyed jumping in and splashing us.
