I thought it was bad last time when I hadn't posted in a while, but this is bordering on ridiculous. I don't know if lazy is really the right word though. It is somewhere between there and overwhelmed. Life was real busy in 2006 (as you could imagine) but things are starting to get under control. Here is what has happened.
Neither Melissa or I worked this past summer. We decided to hang out with the baby instead. It was really weird for me at first, since this was the first summer since 1994 that I hadn't worked!
In August, swimming started. Swimming takes up a lot of our free time, leaving us time to play with Anna and hang out with family. The team did real well this year. We aren't world beaters yet, but we definitely made some real solid improvements, even winning a couple meets over the course of the season.
Then Melissa went back to school. She seems to be enjoying her students, as much as you can enjoy 30 7-year-olds. I stayed home and took care of the baby again. We have been having a blast.
Since then, Melissa got accepted to grad school in Madison. The program is a combination of online and summer courses, so she will only have to actually be in Madison for a couple weeks over the next two summers. She is very excited about it!
Then came the whirlwind that was December. With Anna's birthday and Christmas, things got pretty nuts. It also didn't help that MPS was the only school district in the world that went until the Friday before Christmas. Anna and I were able to get a lot of the stuff done that Melissa couldn't do because she was busy making money for the family.
And now we just got the fantastic surprise that Anna decided to start walking. This basically means I will be chasing her around the house three times as much as I had been in the past.
All in all though, things are great here. We are enjoying watching Anna grow, and I will try to see if I can get more stuff on here. I make no guarantees though!
