Catching up
If it's not abundantly clear that I completely suck at this whole "blogging" thing, then it should be.
I guess a bunch of things have happened since I last posted here, not the least of which is that my grandfather (and the subject of my last post) passed away in June. He went into the hospital to have some kidney stones zapped and never came out. We were all deeply saddened by his passing but he died peacefully at home surrounded by family. Thankfully my brother was able to be here when he passed. No one was a hurt by his death as was my Uncle Pete. Pete was not his son in a biological sense but I don't know if a father and son were ever closer than those two. Maybe someday I'llpost what I can of their relationship but it would muddy the waters to tackle it right now.
Cooper turned 2 in january. He really is an incredible kid, I know he's mine but the kid is super bright, he started talking at like 7 mnths and was using short sentences by 18mos. He's now having short conversations with us about his day and events that happened as long ago as last summer (building sandcastles with Cousin JJ). He's very active, he's in constant motion and climbs on and jumps off of EVERYTHING! he is a bit on the small side for his age, his height is about avg. but he's low on the weight percentiles though the doctors aren't worried and he certainly eats plenty.
He saw his forst movie a couple of weeks ago, the lady he goes to daycare with (Auntie Diane) took the brood to see Curious George. It was pretty good timing as I had just gotten him his first Curious George book a few weeks earlier.
Other happenings? Christina and I are talking about a second child. Coops getting older and she's getting the "baby blues". I want to wait it out and see if it passes. If it doesn't I'm willing to talk about it but I expect that we'll have some serious discussions about finances etc.
Me? Well. I went to see my doctor a month ago. My cholesteral is in check but my triglycerides are still high of course it doesn't help that I keep putting on weight. I really just need to stop putting of getting back to exercising on a regular basis.
In 2001 I started working out regularly, doing cardio and nautilus and eventually switching over to free weights. At one point I had drpped down to about 235# not great, but considering I was up at about 270# not bad, and I was feeling good and energetic. That's not the case right now. I've gone back up to 270# and feel slow and run down. I need to drop wieght by the summer I really want to be active with Coop. Yay self pity...
Professionally things are going well, the job is good, classes are good and I feel good about the design work I've been doing, now I just need to focus on my health.
