Return from the Honeymoon ...

Photo-A-Day #229 11/23/05

We’re back home. And were greeted by Snow this morning. Yikes. Granted when I returned last night I was wearing shorts. Allison at least had the sense to were pants before we left Aruba. Neil was great and he picked us up at the airport and we had dinner with Neil and Andrea at Box Seats. Thanks for everything Neil.

Man, there is so much to talk about. To tell you about the island and how much fun we had there. To post pictures of the wedding, the honeymoon and all things that have gone on in the past 9 days. I need to post up my 9 photos a day that I took during the honeymoon. I am so appreciative to all the help that nine very special people did while Allison and I were gone. The Guest Photo-A-Dayer’s. Did you enjoy their stuff? We certainly did! Thanks also very much to Mo for posting everything to the blog too.

Allison and I were greeted with this sign that Jenn made for us to welcome us home. Jenn took care of Oliver and Duncan for the week and was a great cat sitter. The boys are none the worse for wear.

I’ll be posting photos as soon as we get them together. Check out the new sidebar for Photo-A-Day. Buzznet certainly stepped up to make a great tag.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
