relaxation...finally

Now that Amanda and I have a full week off together for the first time since our honeymoon, we decided it was time to go away for a couple of days by ourselves. So with the help of Grammie and Papa Light having Tyler and Bryce stay at their house for a couple of nights, we took off for Portland, ME for 2 nights. It was nice to get away without the boys, but it was just as nice to come home today and see them. Nothing to newsworthy about the trip itself, so I will not bore anyone witht the details. The rest of vacation week will include an oil change for my car, an emissions test for Amanda's car and some other odds-and-ends on Thursday and then Friday we plan to take the boys to the aquarium in Boston. We finish the week attending Katie's 4th birthday party on Saturday. Vacations just are not long enough!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's it for now.

time flies too quick

while realizing it has been a really long time since I posted...time to catch my breath and think about what has happened over the last couple of months. Bryce has pulling himself up to his feet for a while now and is starting to take side-steps while holding the furniture (or pulling my leg hair if that is what is in front of him at that moment). He also has about six teeth coming in right now which is kind of funny to see. Both of the boys were sick at the same time a couple weeks ago, so we had a duel doctor's appointment to find out that Tyler was just about 40 pounds now while suffering from "the Krupp" (not sure about that spelling, but he gets it every year, though it is usually in November). Bryce was beginning an ear infection (his first) so thankfully we caught that really early before he got to miserable and he weighed in at an even 20 pounds already. I think I've got a future linebacker to go with my home run hitter.

Also in the last month or so, I suffered from my 32nd birthday which is no big deal because I haven't cared about my birthday much since turning 21. Finally, today is Amanda and my 6th wedding anniversary. Talk about time flying, can it really be that long that we have been married. I guess that means it has been a very good marriage, because it does not seem that long. But that also got me to thinking that it has been 7 years since the terrible tragedies of 9/11 and I still cannot ever forget that morning listening to the radio and all the coverage and then watching tv late into the night trying to figure out why something like this would be done.

Thanks to having the job I do now, my wife and I are actually enjoying a full week off together in 6 years. That's right folks, I have not had a full week off since our honeymoon. Thank goodness I am not working at the store anymore. That's all for now. Hopefully it will not take so long to post again, but until then, I hope everyone stays safe and healthy and we'll talk soon.
