Weeks of December 17 - December 30

Good:

1. We learned that Jen's sister is expecting in July. We are so excited for her and Ben. Having Keegan has been amazing. We are extremely happy for their fortune.

2. We had a great stay with everyone and were glad to see so many friends and family.

3. Jen and I enjoyed the break that the Peek-a-boos provided. It was nice to sleep in for a week!

Bad:

1. We had to miss the babies for a couple weeks. Robby and Donna were great and kept them full and cleaned their garage area. The cats were in great spirits upon our return.

2. Traveling with small child is very difficult. I don't know how Jen managed all by herself in August. Keegan was an angel however the number of bags and getting situated on the plane was very challenging.

3. We have three units to go. Hopefully I'll be able to get them taken care of the first week of the year.

Week of December 10, 2007

Good:
1. Jen, Keegan, and I went to Steve and Kelly’s annual Christmas Party. It was really fun this year. There were a bunch of kids. The kids were playing and going nuts and have a great time – and then around 2:00PM all the kids started to get cranky and needed a nap.
2. We went down to the Beach for Pizza on Friday and ran into Neil, Kelly and Dana. Kelly was doing really well – despite being due in a couple weeks. The following night we went to Downtown Melbourne for some last minute Christmas shopping. It was really neat because the stores were open until 9:00PM and they had Carolers and cookies. I told Jen that Juicy would have loved it.
3. Jen, Donna, and Yami got together for their Christmas version of Girls night out on Wednesday. The next day Jen went to the SeaPines Christmas Party.

Bad:
1. We didn’t ship any units and I had to work on Saturday. I’m not sure I need to say much more than that. We are close though.
2. Keegan had a possible teething episode. He woke up after a couple hours of sleep crying. Jen was able to calm him down – but it took a while.
3. Juicy lost it on Ebony this week. I hate when he does this – especially so close to when we aren’t going to be around. They seemed to have licked and made up.

Week of December 3, 2007

Good:
1. The family went to a really awesome party thrown by Neil and Kelly. They were celebrating Kelly's graduation from Law School, Christmas, and their upcoming creation. As always they went all out with the food. It was great visiting. We had to leave a little early - Keegan was getting a little fussy - but he had fun too!
2. Robby posted his latest production to utube. I mention this because he stopped by a couple nights to borrow our high speed Internet. While his movie was uploading we visited. It was nice because I don't get to see him that much. Keegan wasn't too sure. He cried the first night when he saw Robby. Robby didn't take it personally.
3. We got Keegan another present - a Ball Popper. He's starting to get bored with his exersaucer - or at least the toys on it. Hopefully he'll take to this new toy.

Bad:
1. We continued our work to clean up the hurricane room and the spill over into the guest bedroom. It is going well - still a little farther from being finished than I would like - but we are getting there. Another weekend and it should at least be presentable for the near term.
2. Brian F. whom I worked for on my current program before Dave took over in July went up to New Jersey to take a 3 month field assignment. I would guess that Brian is 55. Anyway he had a brain aneurysm. Apparently he has regained conscience - but that is all the details that I have. Our prayers are with him and his family.
3. We have 6 more units to go. 2 are basically done. 1 of the last 4 that I got on Thursday doesn't work! So that will keep me busy this week.

Week of November 26, 2007

Good:
1. Tim and Shannon had Shelby!!!!! Both mother and Daughter are doing well. We stopped by on Wednesday and everyone was good – tired – but good. We were really excited for them.
2. Keegan got two front teeth – kind of. They poked through his gums. He took it pretty well. He was very uncomfortable last Sunday night. Jen had to go to the store to get some oral gel and that seemed to help a little. Anyway when we woke up the next day he was fine and had two teeth.
3. We got 3 units that are very close to shipping. They should go out early next week. Each unit is a battle. After these three we have four more.


Bad:
1. The customer was in for some testing. It went reasonably well. We also had a special test on Friday. It involved me working like a mad man on Thursday and staying pretty late and coming in early the next morning. We had a couple hiccups – but all things considered it went very well – the customer was pleased so that was good.
2. I started a mini-project of cleaning up the hurricane room. I moved the wood part of the pool table out to the garage. It was really rather difficult – but I was pleased with how it turned out. I stacked it on the crate for the marble slab. I also wrapped it in plastic to try and protect it. I did measure and the family room could actually fit the pool table – based on the guidelines for room size. Jen said – “Yeah but where would we watch TV.” She has a point – but maybe one day – I’ve always wanted a pool table.
3. Keegan continues to move around a lot and Jen has to check in on him. I wish I had gotten the video monitor. That way Jen could quickly check on Jen without having to get up. Last night Jen checked on Keegan 7 times. Maybe I can find something on ebay.
