100124 & 23 - Constant Motion

100124 - Up and LD&J to church. G&I hung out for a bit then ran to the grocery and got ingredient for lunch. Back home and we whipped up a gormet meal and G set the table too. Everyone home for a sit down meal.
After lunch D&I worked on his wooden model airplane, J&I built his model Rocket and G got in the way. In between all this I managed to burn about 9 VHS tapes to DVDs. It was fun for the boys to see all these old videos of our wedding and other places we visited and lived before being tied down by rug rats. Gma&paW stopped over, we had a Nerf dart war, showed GmaW her upgraded laptop and email on Google Apps. Jack had a melt down and L stayed home w/ him while the rest of us went to Noodle Co for dinner. Back to base and all calm. Had some dessert, Gma&paW headed home and the boys headed to bed.


100123 - Up and L&J went to basketball so J could get his picture w/ his team. J couldn't play because of the hernia operation but he did stay and cheer on his friends. DG&I worked on a model airplane.
L&J home for lunch and then to the basement for some wii, homework and legos. Then everyone out to D's basketball game. They had a good game and D is doing really well: he likes to run and run and guard people. They won and we headed out with the Grossl's for dinner @ Red Robbin. It was a pretty crazy loud event to say the least... A quick stop at BlockBuster and then home for showers and a movie. I was beat and missed most of the movie... All boys to bed (me too)

100122 + Corresion

100122 + Grade Cards came home today and both D&J did really well.  So we went out to dinner at the new Olive garden we have hear in town.  It was horribly busy but the food was REALLY good!

Then a stop at HobbyLand where D&J found something they liked that they could buy with their grade card $.  Well this turned into a disaster as D coersed J to buy something he really didn't want...  which made J cry because he just spent his $ on something he didn't want...  D was very ugly about the whole event so went to bed as soon as we got home...

100121 - Full day for me.  Dinner and then D went to basketball practice.  I got some time to play with J&G before D got back home and we had to run to scouts where he got some badges and other kids got to throw pies at the leaders.  Then D& I went to Best Buy and got memory for L&GmaW's computers.  Home and we installed the new memory chips, D thought that was really cool.

100120 - Brave Boy

100120 - Up and got some work done. Then LJ&I headed in to Children's hospital to get J's Hernia fixed. J was a good patient and did very well with all the pre-op Dr visits and questions. L&I walked him to the OR and gave him a kiss and he bravely went in without a peep.
L&I went to the waiting room and hung out less than an hour before the Dr. came in and reported 'all done. Everything went fine'. We went to his recovery room and he was doing good. He has a bit of pain and wanted something to drink, his DS :-)

Location:S 17th St,Columbus,United States

Got home to a full house and got J settled in.  Gma&paB took off for a long dark drive home after I am sure was a loud long day.  D&I went to pick up J's prescription and then i sat up with J until 4, when Lori took over.  He is still doing well and his stomach has some pain, which 'really hurts', but he only says something if he is asked...

100119 - Shrinking

100119 - Up and on the phone all am w/ my main man in NL. We have A LOT to do, but we've done it before. Have couple RFPs to work on so time lines are shrinking suddenly and rapidly: HERE COMES 2010!!!!

No school again today...

After work we went to dinner at Max & Erma's for Jack's favorite meal: tortilla soap, corn dog (dipped in tortilla soup) topped off with pickles and ice cream! YUM :-S We are all together and having Jack's favorite meal as Jack has his hernia operation tomorrow and he won't be able to eat all day. Gma&paB, Nicole, Rich, samr & Lenr went along with us.
Home and D&I went to a baseball training exercise class. Then back for some time on the wii w/ J. Stayed up talking w/ Gma&paB. Now getting things ready to take to the hospital to read.

100118 - Taekwondo STRESS

100118 - Up and a full day of work, on top but moving slow... D&J did not have school today so it was a LOUD house! L took all 3 boys to a movie. After work I took all 3 boys to karate. G was up first and it went well until he had to go on the floor... Then his inner deamon surfaced... Thank God for Katie: she took us in a private room and got him loosened up a bit. We made it to the mat to bow out, but that didn't go so good either... Now it is Jack's turn, then D, then home to meet with the Bible Bangers...

100117 + House work and play

At the Farm LDJG & GmaW went to see 'Beauty and the Beast' at the Mansfield OSU branch.  GpaW, Louise and I sat around and chatted about religion, families and how screwed up both in general are ;-)  Dad and I then worked on computers to keep them running a couple more months.  Everyone back together and we got some KFC for dinner.  Long foggy drive home.

100116 - Full Speed

100116 - J's first Basketball Game was today.  He did great!  D went bowling with the Scouts.  Later I took J to his buddy Kellen's birthday party only to find out that Kellen's father is Obie Stillwell, a guy I went to school with (small world...).  When I picked Jack up Buffy, Stillwell, her husband James and their older brother were there.  It was like a class reunion!
D had a basketball game tonight as well and now we are all exhausetd...


100115 - Lori called me from Meijer today, she almost fainted again...  It has been nearly 2 years since this has happened...  Tried to get her to go to the Dr. straight away, but she resisted and ended up going later in the evening...  Too late for any descent blood analysis...
