Fine, I'll Update.

This has become one of those things so neglected that it becomes that much more difficult to conquer.  Kind of like cleaning a house...but I'll try.

So many things different now than in February.  Check the stats:

George:   Will be in kindergarten in the fall, has lost two teeth, likes to pick on brothers, likes gel in his hair so he can spike it up, weighs about 60 lbs, says very funny things including "You should have called digger's hotline first" and "I already pooped so I don't have to nap", is an infomercial encyclopedia (you should ask him about the aluma wallet sometime). 

Charlie:  Is three years old now, potty trained, likes airplanes, enjoys peeing outside, weighs about 36 lbs, plays well with his twin for about an hour before he gets bored and starts to pick on him.  Completed his first swimming lessons and only fell in the water once.

Louis:  Is three years old now, potty trained, likes robots, enjoys peeing outside, weighs about 36 lbs, gets lost in books, thoroughly enjoys fire trucks, is extremely goofy, likes to give the pincher, completed his first swimming lessons and by the last day refused to get in the water because it is so stinking cold.

Matt:  Another year older, brewed a spotted cow clone which is spot on, brewed a "honey badger wheat" which rocks, is training for a 1/2 Ironman in August, upgraded his 2000 Camry with 250K miles on it for an 08 Avalon, is the proud owner of an Aluma Wallet after Father's Day.  PS: The cake tastes SO much better than it looks.

Together we have accomplished many projects around the house, mostly outside, since it was warm enough to get started in April.  We bid out our basement to be finished a few times only to realize we are going to tackle the project on our own.  We need a building permit, some framing nailers, lumber, some electrical work done and we're ready to roll.   I'm sure you'd all like to be a fly on the wall for this project.  We'll be adding two bedrooms, a bathroom, wet bar, play room, exercise room, and rec room.  I keep my eyes on the finish line, but also remind myself that we haven't even started this yet.  We just need to start it so there is no turning back.

Cheers to a happy end of the summer.  Hopefully you'll have a reason to be back to this page soon.
