One word anticipation..

Contour for sale..

Whobody wants to buy a 99 Ford Contour LX with alittle under 98000 miles let me know. I have one for sale.. Asking $2000 but it is negotiable.

Such a girl..

This is one of my favorite pictures.. Amy took it. I am kind of jealous. I have to spend all day playing with chemicals and Amy gets to spend all day with this beauty. I miss them both.. This will be the second day that I will not be able to see much of them after work. Yesterday I had to come back in to work get a rush sample ready, and today they have a baby shower put on my Amy's boss. Good news though we have a long weekend and I will be able to spend alot of time with them.

Happy Four weeks tomorrow..

Here she is just hanging out in our bed waiting to go to chuch this past sunday.

Video of the day is back up..

It is a big one.. Kevin sent this to me in an email. It is pretty funny.. I don't quite understand some of these guys.. I guess that it is really bad..
Enjoy

Yes we are first time parents..

Haley has recently been perfecting her three barrel spit up.. and as parents we were bothered by the fact that several times after her feedings she has put all the contents of her belly on herself, her blanket, her Mother, her father. So we took her to the doctor today. Good news, we don't think that she is lactose intolerant,(she spewed soy formula), no sinus drainage, maybe alittle reflux.. So we are going to thicken things up with a little cereal to see if it will settle things down.

Even with spewage, she is tipping the scales at 8 lbs 7 ounces. Sorry no recent pics today. My computer at work wouldn't let my thumb drive go. So while tring to pull it out, the case came off and left the chip still attached to the computer. I guess raking the case against the board broke something.. go figure

A&W root beer..

While drinking an A&W rootbeer in the break room, a fellow worker asked me.. I wonder what the A and W stand for. I suggested initials, but had to look it up for myself. Here is an excerpt from thier site

One hot day in June of 1919, in Lodi, California, an entrepreneur named Roy Allen mixed up a batch of creamy root beer and sold the first frosty mug of this delightful beverage for one nickel. Now, seventy years later, A&W Root Beer is the world's number one selling root beer and is still made fresh daily and sold at hundreds of A&W Restaurants.

Allen purchased the formula for his root beer from a pharmacist in Arizona. To this day, the unique blend of herbs, spices, barks and berries remains a proprietary secret.

With the success of his first root beer stand in Lodi, Allen soon opened a second stand in nearby Sacramento. It was there that what is thought to be the country's first "drive-in" featuring "tray-boys" for curb side service, opened up.

In 1922, Allen took on a partner, Frank Wright, an employee from his original Lodi location. The two partners combined their initials - "A" for Allen and "W" for Wright and formally named the beverage, A&W Root Beer, Three units were opened in Sacramento, then on to other northern and central California locations and to the states of Texas and Utah.

Softball..

Played my first game of the season yesterday.. It felt pretty good. I didn't hit very well the first game but managed to get on base 2/4. One of those times loaded the bases for Levi (pictured above) to hit a grand slam in the park home run.. The second game I finally remembered how to hit. I might of had an in the park home run but I had slower traffic in front of me hold me up on Second base. I almost ran into you Doug rounding second. Next at bat I had a stand up triple. I was pleased and we won both games..

If you can make the next game, you should try to be there.. It was a very entertaining game. Check the softball blog I will get some pics up as soon as I get them. I would also like to do a box score report if I can decifer the score book.

Good morning Sunshine..

We had our 2-3 am appointment again today.. But I am not complaining. She is very cute and not that much trouble.
