My sister
Last night we had our last hurrah dinner with my sister and a bunch of family and "almost-family" types. It was about 9-12 people at Pizza Cafe in Henrietta. Fun while Emilia lasted. She was a ham for a while, and then the lateness spoiled it for her. The event was a little sad because my sister was in town for 6 weeks and we saw her all of 3 ( Read more... ) -
It's that special time of year

Happy Birthday Emilia!!!
Emilia is officially 1 year old today! Woo!
It feels like we just left the hospital. -
Strapped for cash / Fidel
Wow. City taxes + (suprise!) Monroe County taxes + mortgage all in the same week = we broke. Not to mention a few other expenses, some regular and some not. This has to be the most expensive week in forever.

My Sister
My sister is back in Rochester after having her flight delayed 2 days. How does that happen??? Tuesday night we had a 'coming home' party for her over at my mother's house.

Feeling loose
I just had my earlier-than-usual chiropractic checkup. Everytime she cracks my neck like that I think I'm going to be paralized from the neck down but I end up feeling more relaxed than when I came in. It makes me want to re-start my acupuncture treatments again.
One more 8-hour work day between me and weekend-o-fun! -
Being a dad is awesome
Today, Emilia worked her way up to a standing position, let go of what she was holding on to, and raised both her arms in the air, as if to say "look at me, I just learned another way to freak you guys out and make you spend even more time looking after me!" She will start walking any day now, I just know it ( Read more... ) -
Getting Motivated
I am slowly getting re-motivated to do things around the house. We have been living in squalor long enough. Jason, Terri & Derek... I am feeling guilt over their situation. So every day, Emilia willing, I will do one more task. I have a long list ahead of me ( Read more... )
