Summertime….and the livin is easy
Fish are jumpin…and the cotton is high
Yo daddys rich…and yo mamas good-lookin
So hush little baby……dont you cry

Me and my childhood hero.

Hello!  I’m still here doing multiple tasks at the same time. As a result, the blog posts have been few and far between. For daily updates about me, you can always check my Twitter page (as I jot a line down a couple of times a day).

Today, my host decided that it would be a good day to have a massive failure.  No email, no website, no…anything. So, if you’ve tried to read about me or write me, I’m only now getting around to dealing with it.

Luckily the outage lasted only several hours instead of several days.

Stay tuned.

Today is Erik’s 4th birthday. It seems like only yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital.  Well, I do remember the diaper days, but evrything else went by in a blur.

To celebrate his birthday, we had friends and family come over to eat some pizza and share in some Spiderman cake.  It was a good day.

It’s usually a grind getting to the stadium. The parking is a joke and when you get to the stadium, it’s a cattle call. In spite of all that, I love to go.

As a bonus, they will retire Vince Young’s jersey before the game.

I never get tired of seeing this:

I’ve been working on a few visual changes for the blog.  I hope to make a few of them today.

WordPress 2.6.1 needs to be installed too.

Stay tuned.

Kayla in 2001 with a baby Emma

It’s been sixteen years since my first baby came into this world.  Since her mom was having a few blood pressure issues late in the pregnancy, the doctors decided that Kayla would enter this world on a schedule (i.e. her mom would be induced).  It was a stress filled night, but I was rewarded the next day with a beautiful baby girl.

She turned out better than I ever could have hoped.

Happy Birthday Kayla!

P.S.  I have a sixteen year old daughter…I’m getting old.
