I cannot believe Laila is already 25. It makes me feel so old! Other things making me feel old right now...<br />
<br />
1) My 10 year high school reunion was last month.<br />
2) I haven't been able to get the Thomas & Friends theme song out of my head for over a week now.<br />
3) Laila was 15 when Yegi and I met.<br />
4) I remember when it was tough to put over $20 in my 12mpg vehicle...the minimum now is $100 and the mileage is better.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">5) Our TiVo has 5 episodes each of: Thomas & Friends, Sesame Street, Chuggington, Dinosaur Train, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. </div><div style="text-align: left;">6) I know entirely too much about car seats and strollers.</div><div style="text-align: left;">7) It hurts to get out of bed in the morning.</div><div style="text-align: left;">8) I am no longer the reason my Mom or Grandparents call or come to see us.</div><div style="text-align: left;">9) I have not eaten dinner later than 7pm in a very long time.</div><div style="text-align: left;">10) I have a 2 year old.<br />
<br />
Below are some pictures from our night out celebrating at Barley's in the old city with Yegi's family.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

We came up a week early so the girls could get things in order before the big day. River was a champ over the six hour drive (Sesame Street on the DVD player was a major help a couple times). Thanks to Jenny and Johnny for letting us borrow their car DVD players for the trip. Since River and I don't really have anything to do with the wedding we have been spending a lot of time playing on the beach and around the house. These are the last few calm days before the craziness begins and everyone else starts to arrive. Here are a few pics I snapped these last couple days.<br />

Nothing planned, nothing penciled in on the chalk board, just a free day. We decided to take a cruse on the lake because that has become Rivers favorite thing to do (and its always been mine). We hopped in the boat and headed downtown. Five minutes in River was sound asleep and he slept until we stopped at volunteer landing because we saw a steam engine firing up. Trains are another new obsession so we thought this would be entertaining for him to see a real steam engine instead of Thomas or The Little Engine That Could. Pics below.<br />

In order to have a man weekend you need the following components: men, fire, something to cook over that fire, and...well, that's really about it. There are a few optional things that can be added to make the trip even more manly like: knives, guns, fishing, climbing, hunting, hiking, late night campfire stories, bear encounters, rigging of a shelter through use of sophisticated knots or other skills learned in the boyscouts, not having a cell phone or watch. We had a great time and the weather was perfect. I actually got to use my <a href="http://www.eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com/">ENO</a> hammock that I love to catch some zzz's in (10 to be exact, I slept like a baby after being up most of the night before with our sick little baby). I woke up in the morning to the smell of bacon being cooked and Texas Toast being...well...toasted. After breakfast we hiked up to south clear creek and did a little sport climbing. Luckily Peter Brown the spider monkey was present to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_climbing">lead climb</a> all the routes so the rest of our fat A's could make it to the top. Below are some pics from the weekend.</div><br />

At least not in groups, or during the day, or when it is hot. My favorite time to run is when it is cold, dark, and I am alone. As I write this down I see that it sounds very weird but I have reasons for each. COLD - I hate to be hot and when I exercise I immediately get hot so exercising when it is cold/cool keeps me at just the right temperature. DARK/ALONE - I don't like running around people because I enjoy the solitude (dogs don't count) of running. I don't listen to music, talk with a running partner, read a book on a treadmill, or anything else. I love smelling the air and just being left to my thoughts and at night I can do that because no one dares run the Lakeshore (Mental Health Hospital/Asylum) loop when it is dark except me, Chaco, and the occasional escaped inmate. All this being said I did not run the Knoxville Marathon/Half-Marathon, but a lot of people did. Many of our friends and family were out taking advantage of this PERFECT day that God made to meet a personal goal or two. We took River out early to cheer on Uncle Johnny and take part of his numero uno activity...people watching.<br />

<br />
A year ago our lives changed for the great. The first week of River's life we were a little worried about what we had gotten ourselves into. That first night alone we both kind of frieked out with the lack of sleep and strange sounds (crying) coming from the little playpen in our room. The second week I was puking in the living room (stomach bug, not fear induced) while Yegi was trying to take care of both of us. Thankfully Yegi's mom was able to come take me to the hospital (sorry again for puking out your window Ladan) and stay with us that week. Week three things really started to improve and have only gotten better since then.<br />
<br />
January 9th River turned a year old. We had a family birthday party that weekend and then a while later he and our friend's boys who also turned one had their "3 Amigos" party. Below is the photo evidence of both events.<br />

We did however find a nice place close to Fall Creek Falls in Middle Tennessee. I say we in all of this but really it was the girls involved (Yegi, Emily, Erin, Michelle). If it were left up to the guys to plan anything, I would not be posting any pictures from our fun weekend. Contrary to what I imagined, a weekend with three almost one year olds and one girl who is about to pop (not really Michelle! you barely look preggo) in the middle of nowhere was very fun.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It seems no matter what the occasion people go all out and Halloween is one of the bigger events. This year was Yegi's favorite since we bought our house because she now has a reason to go to all the big events...River. She and Laila dressed him up as a shark (from Finding Nemo because they always say to him "Shark Bait! Ooo Ahh Haa!" and he laughs hysterically) and they as a fish and lobster, respectively. Yegi and I took him up to the neighborhood pre trick or treat party and then over to her parents neighborhood to meet up with Laila so they could trick or treat. Before we headed out for candy Yegi wanted some "fall" pictures of River and that's what we start out with below. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Yegi went to Charleston with her mom and sister to plan Laila's wedding and I stayed back with River. Anytime Yegi asks me if I know what to do when she is leaving River with me I always roll my eyes and say something along the lines of "It's not my first Ro deo cowboy" (actually I have no clue what I'm doing). Yegi is a HUGE planner and loves to write out very detailed instructions about what I am suppose to do while she is away. I'm horrible at following plans and always forget something it seems. This particular weekend I got up with River and began the loading up process to go back to White Pine to visit my family. 1 full wardrobe, 2 dogs, 3 hundred diapers, 4 boxes of toys, and 5 hrs later we made it to WP. The one thing I did forget...Cowie (Cowie is River's little Cow/Blanket thing that he has clutched all night since day one and is very attached to). I remembered him about the time I was pulling into Mom's driveway when the dogs got so excited they woke River from his sleep. I called Yegi and she told me I needed to go back but that just was not an option. Luckily because of my non-planning ways I have become quite the "winger" and can improvise in most situations. I found something about the same size/shape and slipped it into his hands as his eyes got heavy during his final bottle of the night. He slept from 7:30pm to 8:15am...victory. We had a great weekend and got to visit my Mom, Grandmother, and Nana & Dee. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

He loved the trees but mostly the people walking around. He's quite the social little man (gets that from his mom) and loves to talk and wave to people, at least until someone tries to pick him up or take him from us (gets that from me).<br />

I cannot believe it is October and River is nine months old. This week Yegi called me at work to tell me how he stood up in the middle of the floor all by himself. He has been up shuffling around all the furniture in our house and using anything that will slide as a walker. I hate that I don't update this blog more often but it is hard enough to find time to sleep these days. Below is a pictographical blog of recent events starting with my cousin Andrew's son Noah's 2 year birthday party.<br />

Yegi and I both went to this camp when we were in high school and we still have as much fun as adult guests. Last year Yegi was about 10 months pregnant and had trouble getting around so I would say this year was probably a little more enjoyable. Below are some pics from our trip.</div><br />

From the age of 8 until I was 19 and in my sophomore year of college I probably saw less than 2-3 hrs of programming a week. The majority of that was David Letterman's monologue (we really only could "tune in" CBS) that I would sneak in late at night when everyone else had gone to bed. Needless to say I missed out on a lot of "current events" of the time. I definitely don't think this is a bad way to grow up and I almost wish it for River. I really enjoyed my childhood playing OUTSIDE, riding my bike, playing with firecrackers, building barn loft "forts", hunting squirrels-blackbirds-mice or anything else my mother allowed. Yegi really finds this funny and says we are "going back in time" every time we go back to White Pine. She also loves to make fun of me because when I was in high school I was listening to popular music of the 70's & 80's and truly believed that it was cutting edge stuff (Def Leopard, anybody?). We definitely came from two totally different worlds.<br />
<br />
For Yegi's family, television was a major part of their life. Her mother learned English by watching music videos on MTV (back when they played music videos). For her whole family it was a way to learn about American culture, or at least the way it was portrayed on sitcoms in the 80's & 90's.<span style="color: black;"> </span>This love has continued as Yegi is firmly addicted to at least four shows at the present time (Dancing with the "Stars", Top Chef, Real Food Network Star, Bachelor). These four shows all fall under the "reality" label and in each of them someone is eliminated weekly either by popular vote or a judges panel. I get very annoyed with the way these shows are put together. First you have the introduction of the "players", then the challenge, the putting together of their "plan", carrying out their plan, showing all that goes wrong, the twist, and then finally the dramatized expulsion of one contestant. It is pretty much the same with all these shows. I can stay interested for the introduction of players & challenge and then the final part of the revelation of who is going home. Yegi has to watch it all and really gets involved in the final drama that plays out. I knew it was getting bad when the other night I looked over and I think I saw a tear welling up as one of the hoe bags on Bachelor Pad was making their way to a departing limo. <br />
<br />
A couple nights ago I woke up to Yegi screaming "NO!". Usually I only hear that when I'm trying to get a little frisky with her and I knew that was not the case because it was past 10PM and she had been asleep for hours. Yegi is a very hard sleeper so when I jumped up and asked "What?, What?" it did not phase her and she just kept yelling. After about 20 seconds she was back in her normal silent sleep pattern and I chocked it up to a bad dream.<br />
<br />
The next evening Yegi revealed to me that she believed she has been watching too much reality TV because she had dreamed that people she loves were being voted out of her life. She told me that the night prior she had dreamed that River was being voted out and that it upset her. Not having asked her about the screaming from that night yet I started laughing and told her the story. Mystery solved. Now I'm just wondering why I didn't hear any No's when I was being voted off the island.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537540054130412702.post-75747429362567114602010-08-25T22:20:00.000-04:002010-08-25T22:20:41.891-04:00August Pics<div style="text-align: center;">Cousin Jules took some pictures again.

We went to Folly Beach, South Carolina a few weeks ago for a much needed vacation. It's funny though how a lot of times vacation leaves you worn out and needing a vacation. We loaded up my truck with Me, Yegi, River, Will, Laila, and both our dogs (Chaco - German Shepard, Daisy - Goldador Spaniel aka Mutt). By the time I got everything packed up that goes along with the 7 mammals traveling together my truck looked like a gypsy wagon. This is the second year staying at the same house in Folly with Yegi's family, but the first taking a small child on that long of a drive. River was an absolute champ even when our 6 hr drive turned into 8.5 hrs and even more so when the return trip took 11 hrs because of traffic and an ill advised detour down a dirt road (long story, tell you later).<br />
<br />
The weather really could not have been better and we got to enjoy the sun, sand, and surf for a week. I finally got to do some surfing on some decent waves and River absolutely loved playing in the water. Photo recap below.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">We had a great time at the beach with Yegi's family. River slept well the first night and the last night but in between it felt like we had a 1 day old baby that cried all night. On night three I was tempted to pack up and head home so we could get some sleep. We toughed it out and the week ended well other than the 11 hr drive home. Just so you know, don't take I40 West through the mountains. Yes, it is open, but only one lane and traffic is backed up for miles and miles. Also...there is NOT another way around once you get a few miles into the Pisgah. Well, that is not entirely true, there is, but the road turns to dirt (and large mud holes) about 4 miles off the interstate and the in-laws Nissan Murrano didn't stand a chance so we went back to wait in line.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">We are going back again next year both for vacation and for Will and Laila's wedding. While on vacation they booked the spot for the wedding and reception (Citadel House...I think) in Charleston. I'm excited because River will be up and walking by that time which will give me someone to play with.</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537540054130412702.post-64680076611607219102010-07-19T20:47:00.001-04:002010-07-19T21:07:07.858-04:00Comcast - Still the DevilMany of you may have seen the new commercials that Crapcast (sorry, Comcast) is airing about their dedication to customer service. Needless to say I was a bit skeptical when I first saw the commercials considering my past experience with them. Really its not just Comcast, about every "BIG" company out there has issues with customer service except for maybe a few (Apple, Google, etc.) Comcast though is definitely top of their class when it comes to disappointing its customers.<br />
<br />
My wife says I am not very good at giving people (or restaurants, businesses, etc.) second chances if they give a bad first impression. She's right, but occasionally I will give a chance for a second first impression if someone/somewhere says they've changed (hired new chefs, come under new management, changed business practices). So today I gave Comcast that second chance. Unhappy with the amount we are paying for cable service I surfed over to their website and looked at the packages they offer. After choosing the one that fit us best I started a chat session (part of the process in upgrading a package online) with a "customer service specialist". Below is what ensued, enjoy.<br />

I thought of a few different ways to end the conversation but decided the way I left it would keep him wondering for at least a week or two when his boss was going to come talk with him. </span>

We stay at a place called Camp John Knox. It is owned by the Presbyterian church and they use it for outdoor ministries. It is a beautiful place but as my wife would say it is a little "rustic". Accommodations include tents or whatever you bring to sleep in and a bath house with running hot water (not too rustic when you can have a hot shower).<br />
<br />
The first year was rough on Yegi, I think it might of been the first time she had slept outside with no access to an air conditioned area she could retreat too if need be. It was hot and we shared my 2-man backpacking tent on a 85 degree humid July night. She toughed it out though and ended up having a great time. It doesn't hurt that my aunt and her daughters are all unbelievable cooks and we ate like kings every day. It is awesome to watch my aunt Becky Jenkins cook. She is like Maguiver of the cooking world. Give her a mixing bowl, flour, something hot to cook on, a pig, and ...Boom, sausage gravy and biscuits, pancakes, bacon, fruit, etc. All the while watching one of her 11 grand kids under age 6 (which includes two sets of rambunctious twin boys) and only two girls in the whole mix.<br />
<br />
This year we debated on whether to take River or leave him with Yegi's parents for the weekend. We really did not want to leave him for that long so Yegi made a list of things she needed if we were going to take him and I went out shopping. On her list:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEVGFS3WC4Ttdb5q4UhkqBcy8Ihk1VcevM4hSZ1-LJ-gSORlguVjQc4NQW75MHPkstdKZkKZLpKNxk6uzn5QOZA5-jh0EQqx1W-YCKgibqDow6SnxFKC_6V51MFQm0vB98PrQsfaaAfCc/s1600/coleman+tent.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEVGFS3WC4Ttdb5q4UhkqBcy8Ihk1VcevM4hSZ1-LJ-gSORlguVjQc4NQW75MHPkstdKZkKZLpKNxk6uzn5QOZA5-jh0EQqx1W-YCKgibqDow6SnxFKC_6V51MFQm0vB98PrQsfaaAfCc/s200/coleman+tent.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>1) Tent large enough for both of us and River in his pack and play. Thank you Dick's Sporting Goods for the awesome deal on a 6-person Living Room Sized tent.<br />
2) Battery operated fan for River to keep cool with and to provide "white noise". Yegs asked for this last year but I told her to buck up (I guess I'm getting soft).<br />
<br />
We left the house around 11:00am and arrived around 2:30pm. You might be thinking..."Don't you guys live in Knoxville and Watts Bar Lake is only about 30-45 minutes away?" You would be correct until you take into account the stop we made to get boat fuel, then to buy a fan at Dick's, then at Walgreen's to get batteries for the fan (and Candy for Yegi, b/c she is 3 and needs a surprise whenever we stop), then to Yegi's parents house to get her swim suit that she forgot (concurrently, all I packed was a pair of swim trunks and my tooth brush...I love shirtless summers). When we stopped at Yegi's parents it was time for River to eat so our trip was even further delayed for him to drink a bottle and do all the necessary burping, etc. that goes with it. By the time we got back on the road River had decided this trip had taken entirely too long and he no longer wanted to be in his car seat. Screaming and crying ensued and did not finish until we pulled into the camp entrance and I told Yegi it was safe to let him out onto her lap.<br />
<br />
The first thing we did at camp was of course eat. Lunch was out on the table and we dug into the sandwiches and home made desserts. Soon after we were out on the lake looking for smooth water (a rarity on a 4th of July weekend). I got a couple passes in before the water turned rough again and we headed back looking forward to an early morning set. I left my boat anchored in the water overnight so I could get up early, wade out to it, and take off without waking everyone up. Mother nature had other plans though Saturday night...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVIzTWO2haC-kE8sr9DgH9UHfnBN2StT2PRqu_tGiC4N6tWn5y0vPdS6yy5QUHaPD2gNxUM2xZggvTRanBdD2xaDJUWy-pbxfT2w-cx26Wp3clFgJTIru39ouPVKH5iKDWh2ZQdMjpJbM/s1600/DSC_1142.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVIzTWO2haC-kE8sr9DgH9UHfnBN2StT2PRqu_tGiC4N6tWn5y0vPdS6yy5QUHaPD2gNxUM2xZggvTRanBdD2xaDJUWy-pbxfT2w-cx26Wp3clFgJTIru39ouPVKH5iKDWh2ZQdMjpJbM/s320/DSC_1142.JPG" /></a></div>At approximately 1am I woke up from a surprisingly deep sleep where I had dreamed that someone had snuck into the cove and tried to steel my boats to someone shining a very bright flashlight on the boats in the cove. I jumped up and whispered to Yegi I thought someone was trying to steel the boat. As I exited the tent my uncle ran up and said the wind had picked up and was blowing all the boats on shore. I ran down to the shore to see that my boat that had been anchored 50 ft off shore was now about 10 feet from the water's edge and getting closer. I waded out into the water in my clothes only to realize I had taken the keys and put them in my truck by the tent (to deter those would be boat thieves). As I ran back to the tent I could hear River crying (he had been awoken by the sound of people, trucks, and all the flashlights) and I knew the camping trip had taken a turn for the worse. We got all the boats out of the water with no damage and everyone headed back to bed, except for River. Four hours later he was still awake and so were we, taking turns trying to sleep for a few minutes between outbursts. Around 3am Yegi turned to me (probably with tears in her eyes that I couldn't see through the darkness) and asked if we could just go home then and come back for all the stuff tomorrow. Unfortunately we drove my loud A diesel truck and I did not want to wake everyone else and their kids just because ours was ready to party. We toughed it out until about 6 am and then napped periodically during the day.<br />
<br />
Even with all the trouble and no sleep we had a great day playing on the lake with our family and friends. Yegi ACTUALLY GOT IN THE WATER despite her fear of "lake sharks". I have proof (see below) of her trying to wake surf. We ate dinner, packed up, and headed home instead of staying a second night like we had planned because as Yegi put it...I am not going to do this again until I can tell River to lay down and go to sleep.<br />

We have started a new project at work that is farther from home which means I leave 30 minutes earlier and get back over an hour later (because afternoon traffic). Now everything that I would like to get done during the week after work gets pushed to the weekend and many times it does not get done on the weekends because that is about my only time with River where I am not bathing him or putting him to bed. Many of our weekends as of late have been spent out of town at weddings, g-mom's house, or visiting friends.<br />
<br />
River took his first "long" road trip to Birmingham, AL which we used as a test for our beach vacation this year. He behaved very well and only got upset a couple times when we wouldn't let him out of the car seat to play. Hopefully the slightly longer trip to SC will go as well.<br />
<br />
We started solid foods (solid as in mushed up veggies) a couple weeks ago and have found that River's tastes are somewhat of a mix between mine and Yegi's. He has eaten the baby food very well but peas are not his favorite (see below).<br />
<br />
Yegi's little sister Laila and her boyfriend (now fiance) got engaged a few days ago. We are very excited about this because Will is by far the better half of that duo (I kid Laila...kind of). They are going to get married at the beach next year sometime. <br />
<br />
All these events and more are photo blogged below.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"> Our beautiful baby boy is now four months old. He is growing out of control and has become very aware of what is going on. He has mastered the art of rolling over from back and front to the corresponding opposite face. His motor skills have developed so that he now can grab just about anything within a 12-inch radius of his face including but not limited to: hair, cheeks, ears, noses, eyelids, lips, sunglasses, earrings. Say goodbye to the days of the easily broken infant grip and hello to the Chuck Norris/Stallone in cliffhanger death grip. He prefers to stand when given the choice and will “walk” if you let him. His personality is really starting to show through and he is a blast to hang out with…really. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

No, the bathroom is not finished, stop asking/wondering, I will let everyone know as soon as it’s completed, trust me. Our house is becoming ever so filled with Fisher Price merchandise to the dismay of our dwindling baby fund. In our extremely small living room alone we have: A Johnny Jump Up, Two types of stationary seats (one that looks like a bunny? that Yegi had to have because it was “cute” and matched everything else in his room and the other one that River likes), a “tummy time” station complete a hand quilted blanket from our lovely friend Michelle Huch and an assortment of toys/learning devices, and a barnyard play system that is pretty much the same size as one of those wooden garden sheds you can buy out on Ashville Highway but it takes many more batteries. I knew this would happen so it is really not much of a surprise and hasn’t caused any sleepless nights. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Something that has caused sleepless nights for Yegi in the beginning and myself as of late…the fear that River is not going to sleep well at night. Kind of hard to understand? Let me explain. Yegi has one overwhelming fear about the raising of this young man, that he will not nap well enough during the day to sleep well at night. You see, babies tend to sleep better/longer at night when they have napped for long periods during the day. This makes absolutely no sense the us commoners who know that if we sleep during the day it will undoubtedly cause us to be up at night counting sheep, but babies are different. For this reason my lovely wife who is normally laid back (somewhat…okay, not really, she is actually a raging ball of nervous nerves) has become affectionately known as the Nap Nazi and I am awoken to a crying wife many a night.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEbHLVCSuS0ywyTDoH-UqRpWE-DJYvtyCGgbBvmK6XYXECCDk_gYH-TOjfzp7kkzDQNLYsio-G_HE1TJy9-IL4bibdI1bQV0fUzAfX1x4STsPs8Hgz64snUEnTgKGcKqy-oezegN6bR_E/s1600/DSC_1007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEbHLVCSuS0ywyTDoH-UqRpWE-DJYvtyCGgbBvmK6XYXECCDk_gYH-TOjfzp7kkzDQNLYsio-G_HE1TJy9-IL4bibdI1bQV0fUzAfX1x4STsPs8Hgz64snUEnTgKGcKqy-oezegN6bR_E/s320/DSC_1007.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal">It happens pretty much the same every night. River begins to hit that “fussy time” around 6:45/7:00pm which is my queue to start bath time. Bath time is fun and he loves being naked (I foresee problems in 15 years) and splashing around in the water. We are usually done with bath time by about 7:15/7:30pm and I hand him off to Yegi who rubs various paste’s, cream’s, and lotion’s on him before dressing him in his PJ’s. This leads to his favorite time of the day…Dinner time (a man after my own heart) and then I put him to bed around 7:45/8:00pm. After all this we finally get to sit down together and either hang out on the porch talking or watching one of the various shows we TiVo but never have enough time to watch. I love this time of the night but it is always short lived because Yegi starts getting tired (aka – nervous he is not going to sleep well) around 9pm and heads off to bed. We have talked and talked about getting her to relax and not worry because River is sleeping very well and is really not a hard baby to deal with. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Me, on the other hand, am very laid back. I keep telling Yegi, “Honey, its okay if he doesn’t nap exactly on schedule, don’t worry about it.” Of course I’m usually not getting up in the middle of the night to rock River back to sleep. There is one thing that keeps me awake at night (not literally, I sleep like a rock no matter what is going on), I am always worried about River’s health & safety. It makes me very uncomfortable to let River go somewhere he could contract an illness or could be injured on the way…which is pretty much everywhere. It took me three months to break down and finally let Yegi take him to our Health Clubs’ nursery. When I did tell her it was okay to go I asked that she meet anyone who would come into contact with him and memorize their names, experience, and to evaluate whether she thinks they are qualified/healthy enough to care for him. I still don’t want him riding in a motor vehicle with anyone other than his mom or me. Luckily none of his friends have got their licenses yet so we haven’t had any arguments. If it were not for my job I probably wouldn’t even want him riding with Yegi. I mean, she doesn’t have the best track record (see <a href="http://colefamilyfreepress.blogspot.com/2009/09/magic-eraser.html">Magic Eraser</a>). </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;">Since Yegi is so afraid of the naps she has decided she “has to be at home” for River to sleep. This mixed with the fact that I am on edge every time they get in the car to go somewhere has led me to believe that River is doomed when it comes to having a relaxed outlook on life. Hopefully one day he will understand where we are coming from just like I now understand how my mom was probably feeling when I was his age. Who am I kidding, my mom let me stay at home alone at age four without a care in the world. Maybe we will venture towards that mentality over the coming month, or maybe I will build that moat I’ve always wanted… Until then here are a few pictures of our four month old.</span><br />

We got our bill from Comcast last week and upon opening it I immediately became upset. It wasn't so much that it was wrong, which is a normal occurrence, it was more that I had to call Crapcast which turns into a 30 minute hold no matter what and that just gets you to a customer service representative (aka - retarded a-hole). I can honestly say that I have NEVER had a positive experience when dealing with Comcast. There is something to say about that. I bet some prison lifers cannot say the same thing about even the harshest prison guards. I honestly cannot count the number of times I have had a CSR tell me they are just a Peon and can't do anything about the problem we are having. It has gotten so bad Yegi fears the day the Crapcast bill comes because it inevitably leads to a very heated phone conversation between myself and the CSR.<br />
<br />
Last year it got so bad dealing with the devil (that is what I write the checks to when i pay my bill...seriously...and they have never rejected them!) that I started having some serious thoughts about finding investors to start a cable company in Knoxville whose sole purpose was to destroy Comcast in East TN. In other words we would provide cable at a reasonable price and show a very small amount of care towards our customers. Then reality set in and reminded me that the reason I have Comcast is because they are the only option. They are the only cable company that has been granted the rights to provide service in our area. I would really love to Nickelback (when seeing them on the street kick them squarely in the nuts) the politician that helped them get that Monopoly. Our only other option is a dish which would require removal of some 60-100 yr growth trees (not an option).<br />
<br />
Honestly I could do without television, after all from 3rd grade until my sophomore year of college we did just that. Sure my wife makes fun of me because I didn't know who Micheal Jackson was and when I was in high school the newest cd's I had in circulation were Bon Jovi and Def Lepard (I'm 26, you do the math), but I think I'm better for it. Yegi on the other hand could never go without television. Her entire childhood was based indoors and consisted of large amounts of television and barbie playing. I'm hoping maybe come August when Yegi re-enters the working world part time she will decide there is not enough time in the day to keep up with the Duggers, Kardashians, Dancing With the (almost) Stars, Oprah, Top Chef, Modern Family & all the Thursday night shows (I must admit, I like those last two).<br />
<br />
I guess there is also the idea that maybe one day Comcast will re-evaluate their business practices & ethics policy and make a positive change for the consumers....but then again, Hell has a long way to go before freezing over.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537540054130412702.post-31427877202179877722010-04-19T22:13:00.001-04:002010-04-19T22:14:23.623-04:00EventfulWe have had a lot going on the past few weeks. I wrote a very chopped up recap below:<br />
<br />
<br />
Last week started out with a bang. I had to run out while River was taking a nap and Yegi warned me that if my truck woke him when I came back home she was going to kill me. So, in an effort to keep the sound down (and a peaceful wife) I got some speed up at the bottom of the driveway and idled to the top. As I neared the top of the driveway I noticed that there was a nice shady spot close to the fence and as I attempted to get as much of my truck in it I backed my hitch through the fence slat. You are probably thinking, "Big deal, it didn't hurt anything other than that one board". True, I fixed the fence in just a couple minutes but this gave Yegi something to get back at me with for all my comments about her driving. I guess no one is perfect.<br />
One thing that is almost perfect though is that Yegi turned 28 last week and I am still 26. For the next month I plan to remind her at least once a day. We spent the evening with her family at Cafe 4 on Market Square which is quickly becoming one of our favorite restaurants in Knoxville. The food and the service are always top notch.<br />
The week before last my cousin Andrew turned 30something. His wife Shana organized a fun get together at CJ Papadops. Papadops is a famous (to the people in my home town) little restaurant out in the middle of nowhere (literally). We played cornhole in the yard and had some of the best food east of the Mississippi.<br />
This past weekend I rode in an eight hour mountain bike race called "The Ocho". It was held at Panther Creek State Park in Morristown TN on a very difficult and non-flowing course that stomped any delusion that I was getting back into some sort of "shape". I had fun even though it was a very tough race so I guess that in itself was an accomplishment.<br />
Photos from all the aforementioned events are shown below.<br />

We were lucky enough to have some great friends drive up from Georgia to visit with us. River has continued to grow at an exponential rate and his personality is growing even faster. He loves spending time with his mom because she makes him laugh and his dad because I take him outside and in the basement (his two favorite places). The dogs love to see River and smell his dirty diapers. Last week they took an entire plastic grocery bag full of poop diapers (that I had forgot to put in the big trash can - we don't just leave bags of poop around the house) and shredded them all over the basement. I saw the destruction at 6:30am when I was on my way to work. I scolded them both, put them outside, and dreaded cleaning it up all day long. When I got home it was magically all picked up (I love my wife) and the dogs pretended it never happened. Chaco hates to hear him cry and wants to come in and do whatever he can to make him stop. Daisy loves to lick River's ever outstretched tongue and I do whatever I can to stop that which is usually: Dogs Outside, Baby Inside. Below are a few choice shots of recent happenings.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Everything went off pretty much without a hitch and after a few hours we were married and looking forward to a week off with one another in a tropical location.<br />
<br />
The night before we left we ended up sleeping outside because my "best man" had escorted the groomsmen to our wedding night accommodations to vandalize the place and steel our bed sheets. Luckily there was a hidden bed they didn't know about on the back porch where we were able to get a couple hours sleep before our plane left early in the a.m.<br />
<br />
Our plane took off from McGhee Tyson at 6am and headed to Atlanta. After a short layover we were on our way to Tortola (British Virgin Island) by way of San Juan, Puerto Rico. In San Juan we changed from a 737 size jet to a twin turbo prop, overhead wing, crop duster that seated 10 or 12 people. I saw this as a plus because it made me think the island was exclusive and there would only be a dozen or so guests visiting that week (yes, I am sometimes optimistically stupid). We landed and parked beside Richard Branson's G5 (the island he owns is next door to Tortola) and then headed into the customs department of a grass roof building they called an airport.<br />
<br />
After about an hour or so of getting through customs and waiting on our luggage we came to the realization that Yegi's bag that she checked was not on the plane (Strike 1). We filed a lost claim with the airline and told them where we would be so they could bring it to us when it showed up.<br />

Our "all-inclusive" trip included a shuttle ride from the airport to the resort. Little did we know <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixyQRNGP_lvivy7bv1FxiRzrxb_f3lySA1zasR0gLoJ2QYlnilQCPmltE4_4xG0RH3PDTUHO5MkWr4phSMj3rgNHaj9tJ242STl8a5a4DlXqdUZ1t7ZkOzx836SUDRYwoIdFxhOOmSW9c/s1600/DSCN1256.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452950485470074770" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixyQRNGP_lvivy7bv1FxiRzrxb_f3lySA1zasR0gLoJ2QYlnilQCPmltE4_4xG0RH3PDTUHO5MkWr4phSMj3rgNHaj9tJ242STl8a5a4DlXqdUZ1t7ZkOzx836SUDRYwoIdFxhOOmSW9c/s320/DSCN1256.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 240px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 320px;" /></a>our "shuttle" was actually a long bed 1982 F-150 with three park benches screwed to the floor (Strike 2). Yegi and I hopped into the back "seat" right behind a 50 yr old guy wearing a pirate t-shirt and his 20 (maybe) yr old new wife. For the next hour as we prayed for our lives, not to puke, and that we were not going to the same place as the odd couple in front of us. We crossed the mountain range single lane road to the complete opposite side of the island with only one instance of local children yelling "White People Go Home!" (pretty sure they were talking to the red-headed pirates b/c it was the middle of the summer and we both look Mexican) (Strike 3). Two of three prayers were answered as us, captain jack sparrow, and his new wife all arrived safely at the Long Bay Beach Resort.<br />

The front desk<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIdSowDYsVJptgKFSRs1UsBgZYv8C949qKj833h6xnN-Xg4Ex1d_BmHa_odvQyQVO8uB35Oci-yLhYHigqLKHgTFnmP3EMN4TUp4oetNIROAqy5ccKT2jtdPVFGEluFljOWk527It1-SM/s1600/DSCN1273.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452951322959789122" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIdSowDYsVJptgKFSRs1UsBgZYv8C949qKj833h6xnN-Xg4Ex1d_BmHa_odvQyQVO8uB35Oci-yLhYHigqLKHgTFnmP3EMN4TUp4oetNIROAqy5ccKT2jtdPVFGEluFljOWk527It1-SM/s200/DSCN1273.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 200px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 150px;" /></a> staff was super friendly and asked if there were any problems in transit. We told them about the missing bag and they said, "don't worry, we will take care of it". About that time a sweet Land Rover Defender rolled up and loaded us up to take us to our bungalow. As we pulled up to the room I could not believe how close we were to the water. Our beach side bungalow was actually right on the beach, up on <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN4ksMLPEpmjXAVc_8qXgbcpsCDtWN09ASbU8mssx3t_6zLw56dh8kzUNLcKIvJE0FD9EG1X3LY0R0vK1MALdQpA3zkQYNxJ51D0TH-lbo0pucYUdShkWkeD9Qe116kprdDb_AR5rU3o8/s1600/DSCN1257.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452951549001763602" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN4ksMLPEpmjXAVc_8qXgbcpsCDtWN09ASbU8mssx3t_6zLw56dh8kzUNLcKIvJE0FD9EG1X3LY0R0vK1MALdQpA3zkQYNxJ51D0TH-lbo0pucYUdShkWkeD9Qe116kprdDb_AR5rU3o8/s200/DSCN1257.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 150px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 200px;" /></a>stilts, with a hammock hanging over the sand...finally, paradise. We walked up the steps and into the room and that's when the record screeched to a halt and we thought we had ended up in a motel room from 1979 in Paradise Kentucky (Strike 4). I will say, I didn't really notice the de'cor. It was brought to my attention by my lovely new wife. I began to worry that she was not going to be happy (after all, she is from Farragut) but she took it in stride and said, "Oh well, its (moderately) clean, we've come this far, and we will probably spend most of our time out on the beach anyway."<br />
<br />
We unpacked and realized that Yegi's carry on had the following items: 1 pair underwear (reluctantly packed b/c of my constant urging), ipod, hairbrush, magazines, 2 books, phone, candy, gum, and a long sleeve <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTAUd7BacLY2NiZnSehHLb2WnksY59flWxbZ8RLJuWxz-MH8k4KHf-FE1gHtQ2QudPN2HaMZARSKYlvu5ObtVAzjfoWtIqgpnkfe0Yw9NcfjSOT_OaMnuoR3rmuOzj8ve0RzofVCLxd90/s1600/utilit-key.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452957731103225266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTAUd7BacLY2NiZnSehHLb2WnksY59flWxbZ8RLJuWxz-MH8k4KHf-FE1gHtQ2QudPN2HaMZARSKYlvu5ObtVAzjfoWtIqgpnkfe0Yw9NcfjSOT_OaMnuoR3rmuOzj8ve0RzofVCLxd90/s200/utilit-key.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 200px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 150px;" /></a>t-shirt. In contrast my carry on contained: 3 pair underwear, 3 pair socks, my Chaco's strapped to side, both our passports, $400 cash, Wallet, swim trunks, 2 extra t-shirt (one dark, one light), sunglasses, phone & charger, ipod & charger, travel documents, 3Liters H2O (pre-new liquid rules), and a utili-key (looks like a key but has a combo serrated knife blade, mini-phillips and flat screw driver, and can opener built in - can be used for many task but I carry it in case I have to sever a Jihadist head mid flight) that the TSA has not realized could be considered a weapon. As you can see this was before Yegi had adopted the Cole Family Motto of: "Always be prepared.", and yes, the boy scouts did steal that from us.<br />

During these two days we also checked around the island for womens' clothing stores. The problem with the clothing they sell on Tortola is that it is made for Tortolian women (large, black, big-breasted women) of which my wife is not (Strike 5). We ended up having to board a ferry for St. Thomas (American Island) <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii0xWQ2vjgk2flvTy901fnDKBP-p4CDoZ0I7cbezLzbW-g_FQBM0vnbDdg4Z9fS_JmQuMNQyyef1PgCykx4i36hOET57dWbF9Yd3RgIL7WlBjQNytEvazzqIA1nKlpLZlFDFgsREzT5cQ/s1600/DSCN1289.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452953728643802210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii0xWQ2vjgk2flvTy901fnDKBP-p4CDoZ0I7cbezLzbW-g_FQBM0vnbDdg4Z9fS_JmQuMNQyyef1PgCykx4i36hOET57dWbF9Yd3RgIL7WlBjQNytEvazzqIA1nKlpLZlFDFgsREzT5cQ/s200/DSCN1289.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 150px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 200px;" /></a>to find a store that sold more appropriately sized attire. $300 dollars later we were back on Tortola and enjoying the crystal clear water and white sand. Then something happened to me that is so extremely rare it still confuses me as to how it happened...I <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRjpQsKs_jINPmRRaJZ01KulHC0IFWU8ZgHSTKR2we8QCgFhEFke_J3UFpzNj9C7SYIW0dJ3MVswSU3j6knPqiOlTaB6gAbq45u_sUOPhnVvYFnImyKrXdYOgZQNJNoLcDe9wt2T_s6A/s1600/DSCN1278.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452954107552841826" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRjpQsKs_jINPmRRaJZ01KulHC0IFWU8ZgHSTKR2we8QCgFhEFke_J3UFpzNj9C7SYIW0dJ3MVswSU3j6knPqiOlTaB6gAbq45u_sUOPhnVvYFnImyKrXdYOgZQNJNoLcDe9wt2T_s6A/s200/DSCN1278.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 150px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 200px;" /></a>got SUNBURNED! This wasn't a normal sunburn either. My skin turned straight up purple! It all happened in about 30 mins to an hour too. There must of been a solar flare on the sun that diverted all its radiation to the spot I was standing in the ocean. Either way I was now on the shaded deck for the next 3 days and had to sleep sitting up in bed or the chair next to it. What a great way to spend your honeymoon (Strike 6).<br />
<br />
Yegi and I both love to eat good food and one of our favorite date activities is to go to a restraunt with good food and great service. The long bay beach resort has neither of these. For example, after being seated at the restaurant it may be a good 30-45 minutes before a server arrives to take your drink order. When they return 30 minutes later the ice in your glass will have turned to condensation on the luke-warm glass of water. It actually was so bad that it was easier for me to walk back to the server's area and retrieve what I needed as they sat and gave me evil looks. Some people will tell you that is just the "Island Mentality". F that, no wonder these lazy ass people are stuck on an island. They must be the ones left behind after all the motivated individuals swam or rowed their way off the beach (Strike 7).<br />
<br />
Our "vacation" finally came to an end and we had a 6.45 am flight to San Juan the next morning. We called and scheduled our "shuttle" ride back to the airport (seriously considered stealing a car and driving myself). Luckily when the shuttle showed up at 4am it was not the pick-up but a dodge caravan with a friendly driver. We made it to the airport at 5 am only to find out that it didn't open until 6. Keeping with the status quo the airline representative was 25 minutes late to work and by the time she got there a line had formed out the door of the grass-roofed building. We checked in and paid another "departure tax" that was total BS and got to the gate at 6.45. A little over an hour later the same airline rep came into the gate area to notify the us that the pilots had overslept (i.e. were hungover) and were on their way in. This presented a problem because our connecting flight from San Juan to Houston was leaving at 8.30 and it was now 8am (Strike 8).<br />
<br />
Needless to say we missed our next flight. The airline gave us a $20 food voucher since we were going to be in the airport until the next flight left at 4 pm. Not knowing you don't get change from a voucher we spent it all on $4 worth of McDonalds breakfast burrito's (San Juan version of the sausage biscuit) (Strike 9). We found a couple banks of chairs in an empty gate and went to watching The Office Season 2 on my laptop, each with an earphone in one ear. All of the sudden we heard a commotion and looked up to see this:<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzDqTis4UwtN8-rWG6ApbQUJq54vgXMtgz7Pipn47JW8V4RhvpQgUlwYgtDT1PQwqlFJ2-A6Cv-BhKcioYs1w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br />
<br />
You can't even make this stuff up. A traveling bomba band complete with guy dressed up as a dragon/lizard/dinosaur and dancing girls/guys (I will subtract 1 Strike for this - Strike 8). After they left we checked on our flight only to realize it had been delayed until 6.45 and rerouted to Chicago instead of Houston which is semi-on-the-way home. The layover in Chicago was all of 30 minutes and that kind of scared us. Any delays and we would miss the last flight out of Chicago at 10pm.<br />
<br />
We finally boarded our plane headed to Chicago and really started looking forward to getting home. As we got closer to O'hare the stewardess told us over the loudspeaker that there were storms in the vicinity that were causing delays and we were going to have to circle for a while until it came our turn to land (Stirke 9). Once we were on the ground she started telling all the connecting flight/gate numbers. When she got to Knoxville she said, "this flight is leaving now and you will need to schedule a departure for tomorrow morning"(Strike 10-20).<br />
<br />
This is when Yegi got her first taste of my "don't tell me I can't do something mentality". I told her as soon as the door opened she was to forget her Southern & Iranian hospitality and do whatever it took to be the first one on the jetway. We weren't the first out but we passed that old lady they let off first before she was half-way up the ramp. I ran over to the departures listing on the wall and saw that our flight home was leaving from G47. We were in H9, how far could that be? We started running and yegi in her flip-flops began to lag behind. Yegi told me to run ahead without her and stop the plane and she would catch up (I was very proud of her for that statement). I ran as hard as I could (home alone style) for probably about 3/4 of a mile (G concourse is not beside H - damn yankees) and got to the gate just as they shut the door (Strike 21). By the time Yegi caught up I had sweet talked (told her I didn't want to spend another second in her God-forsaken city of Chicago) the desk attendant into hooking the jetway back up and letting us on the plane.<br />
<br />
Landing in Knoxville was one of the happier days of my life. We picked up our bags and my friend Ben was waiting to take us back home. On the way back I asked Yegi if she wanted Ben to drop her off at her parents first and she reminded me that we were now going to be living in the same house...Oh, yeah.<br />
<br />
Come June we will have been married for three years and together for eight. We have been on some more trips (good and bad) but none as eventful as the one to Tortola. One thing I've learned is that no matter how bad it gets its really not bad at all when you are with the one you love (Strike 0).<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYyKApmb38PqL0JINmvGi9wMW4kx6q2_ul6LsvwgfMW3YnUD2LdxW7kmv7Fv42y_WBWpwp-2FFFOUs03tJHQXJ-fStl2UqKtyTTwUftBtiWgTUkB9reW3PnwLv1DDkldLsu0-KYL-H0Q8/s1600/DSCN1312.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452958073693127986" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYyKApmb38PqL0JINmvGi9wMW4kx6q2_ul6LsvwgfMW3YnUD2LdxW7kmv7Fv42y_WBWpwp-2FFFOUs03tJHQXJ-fStl2UqKtyTTwUftBtiWgTUkB9reW3PnwLv1DDkldLsu0-KYL-H0Q8/s400/DSCN1312.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a>-- If anyone makes fun of me for that last paragraph I will decapitate you with my utili-key.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537540054130412702.post-6366447940682093982010-03-17T19:09:00.025-04:002010-03-24T08:20:00.328-04:00Accardi - Italian for baby number 4<div style="text-align: center;">March 6, 2010 is the birth date of: Tom Arnold, DL Hugley, Alan Greenspan, Rob Reiner, Shaquille O'neal, and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Cameron Accardi</span>.

His response: Nothing, I want he/she (he/she because they didn't know yet, not because Cam is a hermaphrodite) to get everything from you. Well, as you can see, he's a dead ringer for Devo.

River is growing like crazy and seems to look different every day I come home from work. Yegi and Emily are having a blast together with the boys on their "days off". There are more and more babies in our group of friends that are being born and even more to come. We have got to spend a lot more time with friends (in and out of the houses) than I had originally anticipated which has been a blessing.

Two more babies coming soon. Best part of this picture is in the background: Megan W. is posing for someone taking pictures. Every time I see her I think of a story she and her sister told: Each year their family dresses up for a live Nativity scene in their front yard because their neighborhood has a competition for "Best Christmas Decorations". The competition lasts for hours as people from their neighborhood and the surrounding community (Atlanta) drive by and watch them. Megan always plays Mary and her sister who is a little taller plays Joseph. This just really makes me laugh.<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
