Rainy Day Fun

As a kid on hot summer days, I spent plenty of time making my own cool oasis with the central air conditioning unit. With a king size sheet and a few world encyclopedia books, I could shape and create my own space to play (as long as the air was flowing. When it cut off you either bailed quickly or just laid still for a few minutes to wait for the flow to begin again). Well today the weather outside was cool and rainy so we decided to pass on an old favorite with Jessie. Our central unit doesn't blow hard enough to give us the lift we wanted to create so we recruited a fan instead, only I had to play guard to keep little fingers all in tack. Jessie played for hours in her new and exciting "Tent City".

Oh how Behind we are!!

First I would like to apologize for not responding soon enough. Janet just looked at me today and asked me what month it was. When I said April, she said what happened to March. I feel the same way. Jessie much like you know is growing up. We are already hit some milestones. She is able to take a few steps on her own, feed herself, crawls very well, has a growing vocabulary, and loves the outdoors. We have purchased her a swing and she loves it. It is hard to believe she is almost a year old. Our life is starting to get a normalcy with revolving around Jessie's schedule. We take her every where we go and try to let her experience all she wants to. She is starting to get teeth. She currently has 5 to date and expecting more shortly. We have battled a small bit of "winter crud" with her but all is good now. We have a very busy april and our anniversary is coming up. We have a few trips planned for the year but as of now most things are very tentative. Hope all is well with everyone and we will try to do better to update the blog.

Pictures as Promised

Where Was January!

Where do I start! January was just a blur. Well, it started out with Christmas. The holidays are always a buzz with traveling and all. I will try and make a slideshow with some pics this week. Then January came...... and went. Janet and I are part owners in a local health club here. We completely revamped the gym portion of it with new paint, equipment, countertops, flooring...etc. Extreme makeover Gym Edition. Ty Pennington eat your heart out. There were many night of 2am and then having to go to work. We are not completely through but a very good start. check out www.massappealfitness.com With the equipment arriving we were a half a semi load short on equipment. So The next weekend we made a quick trip to Jacksonville, FL for the rest of the equipment. We got to have coffee oceanfront and get one good meal of Seafood while we were there. The following wednesday we were off to my brothers house for 4 days. Check out www.schnarrblessings.blogspot.com My Brother and his wife are building a new house and we went up to help him finish part of his house. We set cabinets, hung doors, trimmed, laid tile, etc. Once again, Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Ty would be proud. I feel we got a very good start for him. Jessie got to play in the snow. She enjoyed herself. Jessie is a great traveler. She hung with us the whole time. Jessie has traveled through 5 states in 6 days. I know I need to post a bunch of pic. I am going to hope and get to those this week sometime.
Until next time.
