Wow it has been a while

Posted in Family,Work by david on the March 18th, 2009

Well I just realized that I haven’t posted anything here on the site since last year – I didn’t think it had been THAT long.  I guess thats what happens when your current job is the search of a new occupation, but since I don’t think I have mentioned it here yet I might be getting a bit ahead of myself.  As many know I am on a partial lay off at work, about 50% actually, so most of my days are a whirlwind of trying to find a more secure position in this current economy and/or picking up extra contract work if and when I can find it.  Add that onto the normal everyday life and it seems the family blog gets pushed down the priority list.

I am usually the negative one, and Kim the positive one, but I am going to try and play the role of Kim here and look for the silver lining.  Yesterday was a good example of how the lay off can at times be good, or at least not bad.  It is finally starting to get warm out, and Oliver fought his fears of bugs and decided the tackle the art of riding a two wheeler (with training wheels of course).  After just a few runs he was flying down the sidewalk, he did however fall a few times – the first time hurt the most as he yelled for  help, but after that he just picked himself up like it was no big deal on future dives.  I snapped a quick pick on my phone and sent it to Mommy – we were both so proud.

I did upload some photos this year, but forgot to post about them, so here they are.
