What a month!! :)

Ok, this month has been crazy for me! I've been to New York to speak at a customer summit, then to Boston for some meetings, then we had family come to visit. Whew! We started putting the swimming pool up this weekend on our patio and looks like we'll be able to go swimming after church tomorrow - Seth can hardly contain himself.

Luke has really started talking. I was so proud until I found out today that his word "DaDee" is the same pronunciation he uses for his pacifier. So, for the past few weeks I thought he was calling to me when he really wanted his pacifier (I will note that Celena has been secretly keeping this from me - and having a good laugh). He's growing up so fast - he's certainly not a baby anymore. He's getting mad and making "angry eyes" which is kinda funny. He also can roll his eyes as if to say "C'mon Dad, don't you understand?!?" - this makes Celena and I really giggle.

Seth is becoming the BeastMaster! Well, more of an entomologist really. He is really into bugs! Today he found a lady bug in the backyard. He asked, "Daddy, can I let the Lady Bug take a tour of Seth?" - and proceeded to let it crawl all over his arm. Then, he took it in the sandbox to play, followed by letting it crawl on some of our flowers, he really had a great time. Then, when it was time to come inside, he threw a royal fit! He was so sad to have to let the lady bug go! He was crying and saying, "I love her! She's my best friend and I want to play with her, now I'll never see her again! Oh, no!" By the time his Thomas The Train bubble bath was over he had forgotten all about her.

Ok, Celena is making brownies and I have to go. I pulled up the pond today and am sore and in need of chocolate!

Riverdance!

Last night Celena and I had a babysitter watch the boys and we went to Riverdance ad the Memorial Auditorium in Raleigh. Wow, we really had a good time. We don't get to date as often as we'd like sometimes as we really love to spend time with the boys and just forget to go out. Anyway, we had really good seats and the dancing was awesome! Celena really likes it because she actually clogs - I don't. During the show she really gets into it, whooping and hollering, tapping her feet - it's nice to see her have such a good time. I find myself getting caught up in it too even though I think it is close to criminal to have fancy pant gents dancing on stage in leather pants.

All in all we had a great time and hope to see Lord of the Dance if it comes back. Now to get her to go see Phantom of the Opera again....
