Internet

Sorry for the lack of posts. Our internet at home is out. Tom and I think our house was struck by lightning yesterday b/c the when we got home the garage door wouldn't work either. Luckily, Tom was able to flip the breaker and it started working again. I can't say that there's any good news for our modem though. Hopefully, working for Comcast may speed up the replacement process. On the other hand, I won't hold my breath.

So far, those are the only two things we've found that weren't working. Although we didn't have much time to test everything last night b/c we had another softball game downtown. We won 20-something to 2. "Automatic out" Tom was back in full force. He tried for a triple when a double was pushing the limit, swang at pitches that were literally 3 feet above his head, and over ran called fly balls. Bless your heart, Tom. We love you!

Splish splash

He's 9 months old!

I know everyone says they grow up fast and boy do they mean it. We got Micah's latest stats at the peditrician yesterday.

Height: 28 3/4" 70%
Weight: 18 lbs 13 oz 22%( He's not really "Tank" anymore)
Head Circumferance: 17 3/4" 45%


I suppose Micah may shoot me one day for posting these, but he's so darn cute!

Rajin' Cajun Summer Fair

Only in Denver can you attend Catholic mass outside on the church lawn set in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. And only in Denver will a priest announce during mass that there will be breakfast burritos after mass and while you wait in line you can enjoy a beer because after all it's 5 o'clock somewhere.






Around 8:30 this morning we were settled on our quilt on the church lawn ready for Light of the World's annual Mass on the Grass and Rajin' Cajun Summer Fair. This is our favorite event of the church year. Below are some videos taken from this year's events.

Afternoon in the park

Last Thursday evening we decided to take advantage of the sunny, yet chilly, weather. Thank goodness we got outside when we did. It rained ALL weekend. Of course things started to clear up and turn sunny today around lunch when we were back at work. Figures.

So, we took Micah to the park. He grinned from ear to ear the whole time we were there. He enjoyed the slide, but he loved the swing. It is inevitable that we will be frequenting the park all summer.

More Variety

We went on a family hike last Saturday and I took the above pictures.



I've gotten several requests for more videos of him crawling, so here you have it...





He's pulling up too. I didn't get it on video tonight, but I'm sure I will soon.

I'd write more, but Tom just turned on the Wii and I've been wanting to kick his butt at Mario Kart for a while now...

Later Taters!

Holy Cow!

He's growing up so fast. I can hardly keep up. He's already crawling everywhere, pulling up, and getting into everything. Check him out:

Distractions

It seems like my life is filled with distractions these days. Currently, Grey's Anatomy is distracting me from typing this blog. The sunny warm weather has been distracting me at work. Micah's new ability to crawl distracts me from every type of house work.

Well, when I consider all of my distractions, I'd rather live in a world of distractions. I could live without house work or job responsibilities. I suppose blogging isn't so bad but right now Grey's Anatomy is winning this struggle.

So, to get you caught up in a hurry, you're getting a list:

1. Micah and I are going to Mississippi June 12th-June 17th. See y'all soon!

2. While Micah and I are in Mississippi, Tom is going dinosaur hunting in WY. Yes, I do realize I married a nerd.

3. Yesterday Tom and I celebrated our three year anniversary.

4. Tom, Micah and I are going on vacation August 15th-22nd to Isle of Palms, SC.

5. Tom and I are talking about starting our MBAs online together this fall.

6. Micah crawls to the entertainment center only to be told "no" and repositioned away from the entertainment center. Repeat.

If I can get past all of the distractions in my life, I'll post more videos of Micah crawling this weekend.
