Sailing Club awards ceremony

Friday, November 14th, 2008

Well, the year ended with a nice awards ceremony. We were a little late, but decided to show up and make it Carter’s first public appearance. Hopefully noone minded, Carter sort of stole the show. I am officially on the board for the sailing club in 2009, which I look forward to. It is a great club and a great group and I want to help it continue to grow. I again want to thank everyone involved with the club for a great year, they truely are a special group. The obligatory photo album is here.

Carter’s first visit with the Pediatrician

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

We took Carter to see his pediatrician, Cecilia Yu. Once more, only good news. We are very blessed. We already greatly enjoy our relationship with Cecilia and we know that Carter is in good hands. Not suprisingly, there are some pictures from the visit.

Carter is on his way

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

I am blogging from Progress West. At 9:00pm last night Kathy’s water broke. Granny & I took Kathy to the hospital. Kathy was in a lot of pain until she got the epideral, but the staff here has been amazing. The night really flew by. They quickly put us on Pitocin to induce labor. The contractions prior to the epideral and the epideral itself were quite painful, but we were able to nap for a little over an hour. The epideral is being dialed back and we should be ready for the main event soon!

2008 Sailing Season Ends

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Sailing on Lake Saint LouisLast chance to sail this year, and I sure enjoyed it! 76 degrees for the high, the big lake, a good breeze, and enough foliage to prove its November… absolutely beautiful. It was also nice to have a cabin boat come out and join us. It has been a fun season marked by meeting good friends and learning a skill that I always wanted to learn. What a year, look forward to the next.

Happy Halloween! Of course, with Carter on his way, we did not get to spend too much time decorating. We did get to deocrate a little bit so feel free to check out the pictures.

100,000 miles on the Odometer

100,000 miles on the Odometer

My beloved WRX just posted the big 1-0-0-0-0-0 on the odometer. I feel old. I still love her. We have great times autocrossing and ice racing, but now she just takes me to work… although I still really enjoy her. Here’s to another 100,000.

Slacker Uprising

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Kathy & Isak Our neighbor’s came over and watched Slacker Uprising by Michael Moore. I am usually get a lot out of Michael Moore’s films but this one was not as insightful. On the plus side, we got to hang out with our littlest neighbor, Isak.
