Week of July 23, 2007

Good:
1. As you can see in the picture attached to this week we went to a retro Birthday Party. It was the 15th anniversary of the birthday girl's 15 birthday. We had a really nice time. It was funny seeing everyone dressed up. We - in my personal opinion - looked the best. I have to admit that I looked a little fruity - but if you are going to wear a New Kids on the Block Tee - you might as well go all out.
2. When I asked Jen what was on her good list she immediately said "Keegan sleeping through the night for the whole week!" Forget about item number 3.
3. Seth and Maria welcomed their son Blake into the world on Wednesday. We stopped by and they seemed like they were doing well. As we now know this is quite a transition and a diffcult time but I'm sure the seasoned veterans will do quite well.

Bad:
1. Jen and Keegan got suck at Wallmart for 3 hours on Thursday because of a bad storm. I previously have told Jen that Keegan is not allowed to go to the Palm Bay Wallmart. He doesn't need to be exposed to that craziness - however she continues to ignore me.
2. Our shower drain has been clogged for a couple weeks. I first tried draino. I put that stuff in there for 5 straight days and it did about nothing. Finally we bought a snake. I thought I was doing pretty good because I pulled out what I thought was a small mouse about 10 feet down. I went to put it back down the drain and the end of the snake attached to the drill busted into 100 pieces. I THEN looked at the directions - it said leave 1/8th inch gap between the end of the snake and the drill. Anyway the drain is still clogged and we need to get another snake.
3. Jen and I decided a couple weeks ago that we wanted to change peds from Dr. Whitte to Dr. Ware - they share the same office. We had seen Dr. Ware more times than we had seen Dr. Whitte and we just seemed to click a little better. Anyway I called and asked if we could have Keegan switched a couple weeks ago and they said sure. Well this week we got a call saying that they wouldn't switch him. The doctors had an agreement to not "steal" patients. It was a little uncomfortable and could have worked out a little better.

Week of July 16, 2007

Good:
1. We took the trip over to Florida Mall on Friday – it was my scheduled Friday off. Anyway we had a really nice time walking around. We grabbed lunch and Jen got a watch. It’s really fun and casual. We also got to check out an iphone – they had a store at the mall and it seemed pretty amazing.
2. Our late 80’s/early 90’s outfits for next week’s party are really coming together. I think we are about there. I can’t wait to take a picture and put it on the web site. It has been fun putting them together. Jen’s idea was really great and I’m a little embarrassed to admit that one of the items I will be wearing is from my closet. Jen has barred me from wearing this item but I hadn’t wanted to get rid of it unless it came back in style.
3. We went to the gym twice this past week as a family. Keegan did great at wee fit. The first day we went for only 30minutes because we were concerned about Keegan but he did fine. It was funny because Keegan goes #2 about once a day and sometimes that is assisted. Anyway Jen had fed him, changed him, . . . tried to make it so that they wouldn’t have to do much. Anyway when we went to pick him up they said he did great and that he had a big poop. Jen was a little embarrassed – I thought it was great since I didn’t have to change it. The kid has good timing.

Bad:
1. Keegan was extremely fussy on Saturday. It rained here so I couldn’t just throw him in the stroller and take him for a walk. Finally we had to take him to the mall and walk around. This worked well and gave us a break. We even stopped at one point and sat on a couch there for about 30 minutes and he was fine. Although as soon as we got home though he was fired up.
2. We have had very violent weather Friday Evening and Saturday afternoon. They said that there were about 2000 lightening strikes in Brevard in one hour yesterday. I don’t think anyone was hurt however a house worth $500K got struck and burned down.
3. Keegan through up some yellow stuff the other day. It was pretty gross. He didn’t really do it again – so that was good.

Week of July 9, 2007

Good:
1. We found at that our friends Neil, Kelly, and Dana are expecting in December/January time frame. We are very excited for them. We shared pizza and ice cream with them on Friday Night down at the beach it was fun after a long week.
2. We got the buffer cards shipped on Friday. This is very good. Hopefully they will get to Raytheon and work as expected.
3. We had a nice Saturday. We went up to the Zoo and saw the butterfly exhibit. It was good and we went and saw a couple other animals. Unfortunately our day was cut a little short by the rain - but we had fun running through it to get to the car.

Bad:
1. I could be wrong but I think Keegan may have caught the brown eye syndrome. This is where your eyes turn from blue to brown. Anyway, Jen and I are still holding out hope - but there is not much we can do.
2. Jen was unable to attend the memorial service for Dr. Olsson's daughter. It was Wednesday afternoon. It was difficult to arrange someone to watch Keegan. This is something we'll have to get used to.
3. We have about 150 diapers that Keegan has grown out of - more specifically his thighs have grown out of. No problem though I'm sure we can sell them at Robby and Misty's next yard sale.

Week of July 2, 2007

Good:
1. We had a really nice Fourth of July. My parents are visiting so Jen and I got to take a nap while my parents watched Keegan. As well we watched the Fire Works from afar. Keegan was really brave - he seemed to enjoy them - or at least being outside.
2. Keegan "slept" to around 5:00AM without needing to be fed the last two nights. He got up a couple of times however so Jen sat with him until he went back to sleep. He did this two days in a row. Hopefully he is on the right track.
3. We've had a nice time visiting with my parents. They rented this condo/town house on the beach. We've gone over there in the afternoon and sat out by the pool. Very relaxing.

Bad:
1. A doctor from Jen's work had a bad car accident after work on Thursday. He was okay however his 19 year old daughter was killed. We had a terrible rain storm and apparently he lost control of his car when it hydroplaned and he hit a telephone pole. Just really terrible.
2. Keegan has needed the help of the "bullet" to go #2. Hopefully he will adjust to the formula. It has to be tough for the little guy.
3. We heard that Heidi the dog died. It aways sucks loosing a pet.

Week of June 25, 2007

Good:
1. Jen made the two of us a fantastic dinner. She’s been watching take home chef and really picked up some great ideas. It was really nice and Keegan cooperated – at least during dinner.
2. We signed up for NetFlixs. We got our first couple of movies and have enjoyed it. I’m not sure we’ll carry it past the summer but it is really great so far.
3. Keegan seems to be talking a lot more. He seemed to respond to our cooing which is really neat.

Bad:
1. We found that the MDIO implementation is a little suspect at work. In addition we have some EMI failures that will require some modifications.
2. Jen is feeling better but she still has some milk left. Hopefully it will dry up in a couple more weeks.
3. We are getting close to the magic 12 week mark. I’m not convinced Keegan will be sleeping through the night by then but that would be great.
