Well, its been about three months since I have posted anything and figured its about time I updated.
In January not a whole lot happened that I can really remember, except for the last week of it. I ended up breaking the radial bone in my elbow at Kaleigh’s, my neice, birthday party. It was a skating party and one of the rental skates had a bad habit of turning itself outward while skating straight. So to make a short story even shorter, I was going pretty fast and started to fall back. I tried to catch myself with my left arm, but it ended up getting it caught up under me and it resulted in me breaking it. It’s been about 6 weeks now and I still can’t straighten my elbow out fully. I’ll probably go see the doctor again about it next week.
For Feburary, we ended up going to the Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey Circus with Bethany and Emma. It was pretty fun, but was a little too long for the attention span of a three and one year old. However, overall both me and the wife enjoyed and so did they. We took a lot of pictures and I’ll upload them to the Album when I get some time.
Towards the end of Feburary and for most of March, I have been working a lot and having to stay late. A couple of employees are on vacation, so like always I volunteer to take up the slack and make some extra cash. Its starting to get a little tedious and I’ll be happy once I can get back to normal schedule so that I can see the family more. Rebecca has been fairly patient with all the hours I have been putting in and it will pay off in the end I think.
Hannah, our youngest daughter, finally got over RSV. However now we have to go to the doctor to get an MRI of her head due to what appears to be some sort of cacilfication on the top of head. Hopefully, it won’t be anything serious and at most require minor surgery. Emma has started to learn to talk more in fragmented sentences and she loves just running around the house yelling “Josh! Josh! Josh!”. Bethany has started testing her limits more with talking back, getting an attitude, etc. and we end up disciplining her so that we can hopefully nip those things in the bud while she is still young. Emma and Bethany like to play with each other now, which can be interesting at times. Unfortunately, they like to pester each other as well. Sometimes its amusing because Emma can just so ever lightly touch Bethany to send her crying and saying “Emma hit me.” Other times, its just stressful (mainly on Rebecca right now as I’ve been working so much). All the kids are growing up fast and they are really well behaved most of the time. I hope me and Rebecca can instill some solid values in them so that as they get older, life won’t be too hard for them as it can be.
A couple days ago I decided to upgrade my Netflix plan to four DVDs out at a time. Three at a time just wasn’t enough considering all I really watch is DVDs for movies, tv shows, etc. Its been nice because now I can get one movie for the kids, one movie for the wife, and two movies for me. I haven’t really been playing many games lately though, mainly due to work. However, Kingdom Hearts 2 just came out March 28th and I hope to rent it soon. I thought about restarting my GameFly account, but until they get a distribution center on the East Coast I don’t see it happening.
Next week I plan to do a bunch of around the house things I have been needing to do, like painting some of the non-vinyl siding that was pressured washed off, redoing the threshold on the back door, etc. Ultimately though, I just hope we sell our house this summer as Rebecca and me are so ready for a bigger house. Things are rather cramped for the five of us, but to be honest, we are still lucky to have the home we have. There are many more people out there is worse shape than we are.
