Apparently I have taken over blogging duties from Becca... as such, you now will have to put up with my brain droppings about once a week....
So James is home from the hospital and the slow recovery continues... it's easy to exhaust him but he is acting completely normal. Our little brush with mortality has taught us a few things and we are relaxing and enjoying life a little more... Gabby is great, our little princess... The kids are growing fast...
I just finished a huge project at work and am preparing for my own vacation... I bought a new ultra wide angle lens and am going to do photography while the kids are in Oregon with Becca...
For those of you reading this who want to see Becca and the kids, you'll have to schedule it with her as I have no clue what their schedule is...
Now as for Becca - and congrats are in order to Mary and Nate for the birth of their child... wow....
It was really hard for Becca to be so far away... she wanted to be there for Mary and the baby. She really misses Mary (sorry she doesn't miss the rest of you :-p ) and has been hyper emotional about it... she misses her family... So we have come up with a compromise.... Becca and the kids will live in Oregon, I will live in a cardboard box in Salida CA and send all my money up to make it possible for her to be near family... it seems the logical solution... But in all seriousness, one of the decisions we made after James brush with mortality is that we need to budget for more frequent visits... 4-6 times a year. expect to see us more in the second half of 2009 and beyond.
James got accepted to Salida Elementary School on the other side of town for Kindergarten. They run a modified traditional schedule so we have a shorter summer, 4 weeks off at Christmas, and 2 weeks at Easter. It will make holiday travel much easier.
On the national front, Harold was Sulu in the new Star Trek Movie, Kumar works for Obama. And based on the functioning of Democrats and Obama, the actor Kal Penn (kumar) may be the only qualified person in that administration. I haven't figured out where Neal Patrick Harris figures into it all yet.... perhaps the next supreme court justice?
Anyway, brain droppings concluded for the moment....

Next Supreme Court Justice? Are you kidding? Neal Patrick Harris is perfect for Surgeon General. First, all those years as Doogie Houser, then the swinger life on How I Met Your Mother make him the perfect front man for Surgeon General. Besides, there's no place to park that unicorn near the Justice building...
Glad to hear you'll be enjoying life a little more. It's important to slow down and cherish the time you have with your kids - they grow up and write political rants far too soon!
Love,
Mom
