Week of October 22, 2007

Good:
1. We had our annual Halloween Party. We had a really nice evening. Ever year it is a mad dash to the finish line. This year was slightly better. We still worked until the last minute – but it was less rushed and the issues we worked were minor details. The new buffet worked out really well. It kept all the Hot food Hot. As well my slightly used GI-Joe shirt that I bought on Ebay worked really well too. Jen did a fantastic job with the food and she looked really great in her Tinkerbelle outfit.
2. We were able to get a unit sold off and began HALT Testing. So far it has gone well. We’ve been able to keep testing without too many issues.
3. Jen went to the Children’s Place and saw a good deal. She found 4 items of clothes for Keegan marked down from $45 to $36. When she went to pay she was shocked when they rang up to only $3.45 – apparently they were on clearance too!

Bad:
1. So I don’t weed wack as often as I should – heck I don’t cut the grass as often as I should. Well before having everyone over for the Halloween party I decided I needed to week wack. It has been probably a month since I’ve weed wacked. Anyway I couldn’t get it started. I don’t know how many times I ripped that cord – my arm hurts today. Anyway after some keen detective work I determined that I most likely needed fresh gas. I’ve had the same gas for about 4 years and figured that the manual that said not to let the gas go for more than 30 days was finally catching up with me. That did the trick and I was able to get the property in shape.
2. Jen went through a big ordeal to get Chico to agree to send her a new umbrella stroller. Well we got it – which is good – but it isn’t the right color. In stead of trying to fight the system we’re going to deal with a wobbly wheel sometimes and a green stroller sometimes – depending on the situation.
3. Keegan hasn’t been sleeping well. He’s been waking up every couple of hours. He’s really moving around in the crib. When we go in and check in on him he’s turned side ways and his body is all contorted, very odd.

Week of October 15, 2007

Good:

1. We got invited to Robby's Movie's movie priemer on Friday Night. The movie is called "Playing with Fire". I made a guest appearance as a dead person. The movie was really good. So good in fact he won the competition and will have his movie shown on the Big Screen at the Melbourne Film Festival.

2. At work we pushed through a couple issues and finally got 4 units on Thursday night to test.

3. Jen and I are preparing for the Halloween Party on Saturday. We are really looking forward to it. We've gotten a couple more decorations this year. It should be a really good time.

Bad:

1. Keegan did really well at his doctor's visit, however it is always diffficult when you see your child get stuck with a bunch of needles. He checked out okay - with the exception of head size.

2. So we got the unit on Thursday night. I ended up staying very late at work and came in very early on Friday. I ended up only getting 3 hours of sleep. That's tough to recover from.

3. Jen has had a headache the last couple of days. Hopefully it will go away soon. I keep telling her to drink water.

Week of October 8, 2007

Good:

1. Keegan was baptised today - in addition to that it was his 6th month birthday. The church service was great, Keegan was good. We also had a nice breakfast afterwards with my parents and sister. We followed that up with singing Keegan Happy Half Birthday.

2. We got Keegan's pictures taken by Misty at Lifestyles. She did an amazing job. He looks so cute in his in all white Baptism outfit as well as his little Santa outfit.

3. Jen received her new Vera Bradley diaper bag. This bag is a Christmas present. She did a great job of picking it out. I liked it.

Bad:

1. We were hoping to hear back for Chico about the stroller. Hopefully we'll be able to give them a call next week.

2. The team of cats did not enjoy when we decided to eliminate the breakfast water cup in the bathroom. As well we moved their food and water to the laundry room. Juice took it as a bit of a demotion. I think they will adjust.

3. I've been feeling a bit run down the last couple of weeks. Hopefully I can get back on track.

Week of October 1, 2007

Good:

1. At work we were able to resume EMI testing after the initial failure we had. The fix seems to have resolved the problem so hopefully the rest of the testing will go as well.

2. Keegan is eating bananas, apple sauce, squash and carrots. He's doing really well. I fed him this morning and it is impressive how he now opens his mouth expecting the food.

3. Jen set up a play date for Keegan next week. She ran into a friend that used to work at Sea Pines whom just had her second child. I think that will be good for both Keegan and Jen.

Bad:

1. We had an okay time at the Harris Family Fun day. Something always seems to get in the way of us really enjoying the event. This year it was extremely windy so it made it difficult to picnic - things wanted to blow away. In addition Jen and Keegan had a long week so they were tired.

2. I'm getting very tired of Ebony. She is addicted to the "breakfast" water cup in our bathroom. She cries at our bedroom door when we are sleeping. When we are in the bathroom she cries pretty much the entire time we are in there because she wants the water cup filled to very top. Jen topped off the cup three times the other evening while she brushed her teeth.

3. The temperature warmed back up. We had hoped it cooled off enough to enjoy open windows - not quite yet.
