Happy New Year 2013

Another year has come and gone. Baby Girl seems to be feeling a lot better this morning and getting back to her normal schedule, which is getting up a little before 7am. These past two weeks when she was sick we enjoyed sleeping in till 7:40 ish. But as I heard the cries this morning I knew it was baby girl getting us back to schedule. So up I went and found baby girl smiling at me in her crib. I love that morning smile. I got her her bottle which is no longer formula but 2% milk and we sat in the living room and listened to the news. After the bottle was her crackers which she of course, shared with Moses and then we turned the channel to watch the Pasadena Rose Parade. For once, she turned off all of that energy and sat in my lap and we watched the parade. She is just learning how to say and wave HI and GOODBYE so she thoroughly enjoyed waving back at all the people waving on the floats. It was a fun moment for me to share that with Baby Girl. Papa got up and found us girls sitting on the floor and he made his most delicious pancakes and we had a breakfast picnic on the floor. I love honey on my pancakes along with a little powdered sugar so I took this opportunity to introduce my daughter to honey. The doctor had given me the "go" on honey this past appointment and he said the honey might make her cough feel better. I am not sure about that but she sure seemed to enjoy the honeyed pancakes! We had fun playing around in the morning which culminated in a bath and more play time with Papa after e walked Moses. After cleaning the house and putting Baby Girl down for a nap I am taking the opportunity to update this blog. Its not very often I get time to myself yet I still feel the need to document life as I experience it.

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
