Time for a little update...

So it's been a VERY long time since I wrote in here. I apologize. Between home commitments and writing in my other blog (www.yougottabefriggingkiddingme.blogspot.com), I haven’t had a whole lot of time to update this one!

To start with, Patrick is doing awesome! He still has a hard time concentrating but he is learning to relate to other kids. His 6 year birthday is coming up and he wants to have it at the bowling alley. Deb and I are excited because we’ll get a first hand view of how he relates to other kids in his class! The other news with Patrick is he has grown fascinated with space and planets which is so cool! After reading all the books at school about the planets in the solar system, he has taken up reading my astronomy textbook from university as bedtime reading!

Our little princess Kathryn is doing great as well. She is so popular it’s scary! It seems like she is invited to a birthday party all the time! She has also taken on learning how to write her name in preparation for kindergarten next year. She’ll only be going half days next year but will be full day the year after. We’re not sure how she’ll like that though. She is a homebody and doesn’t even really care for going to day care 1 day a week!

William is now 10 months old! He’s grown so much!! He IS my little clone. Even strangers will point that out right away if we’re in the same room together. Willy is sitting up and pretty much mobile right now. He LOVES food, even though we still limit the diet because of a possible lactose/milk allergy. I’m amazed how quickly he picks up how to use different toys. It seems you can show him how a toy works once and he has it figured out!

After much debate, my awesome wife has put her papers in at work and chosen not to return after her mat leave is up. They did offer her one day a week but she decided it would just throw a kink into any travel plans or summer holidays for the kids. So she’s a fulltime stay at home ruler… I mean Mom  I personally couldn’t be happier with the decision but would have made either decision work.

Lastly, as for myself. I am still busy at work and about to get busier for the summer which kinda blows. On a couple good notes though, my workgroup has drawn the attention of several executive VP’s of the company and they have invited us for a lunch to discuss how we can implement our work standards throughout the company! ALSO, Deb and I have decided to take the kids to Disney World late in the year for the first time. It’s a bit early for William but Patrick and Kathryn are the perfect age. So that’s something to look forward to for the rest of the year 

Well I’m outta here! I update my Vein Popper blog much more then this one but I’ll try to update this one a bit more in the future.
