I don't really update this all that often, do I? Sorry about that. I guess right now there just isn't that much to report. We're all doing fine.Alex is bigger and more articulate every day. He's not talking yet, but he clearly understands what we say, and he points at things. It's fun to see that, and I look forward to him talking some day.
The warmer weather has meant that Carrie and Alex can get outside more. They've been to the zoo 4-5 times already this year, and the park is a regular stop too. We found out that Alex loves tuna burgers, and I'm willing to bet he'll like fish sticks too. I had a small lan party this last weekend at which I served my home made chili. Alex ate some and loved it. Carrie complained that it was too spicy, but Alex is a real man and just wanted more.
I start my golf lessons tonight at the New Berlin Hills golf course . Hopefully this leads to some golf games later this summer. It should be fun even if I suck. Noah is taking the class with me. He doesn't really need to, but we get to spend some time together this way.
I got to see the Wolverine movie last week. I was not excited to see and, and the horrible reviews helped keep my expectations low. I was shocked when it was a really enjoyable. I'd recommend it to any one... expect maybe Grandma.
And lastly I found out that my sister bought a condo. Congratz to Julie. I'm looking forward to seeing the place.

I updated month 8 pictures, and added months 9 and 10 to the gallery. Don't miss the new stuff on the second page of Alex's pictures. The rest will go up there once I get time. Only a couple more months of pictures to go and I'll be up to date! Amazing.Also, special thanks go out to Jim (Pat's boyfriend) for our wonderful steak dinner tonight. Jim is like Sam the butcher , he's always bringing us fantastic meats. Tonight we ate like kings because of him. What a Monday! Thanks Super Jim.

( 3.1 / 20 )In its March issue, Health magazine surveyed fast food restaurants in America. They ranked the Top 10 and one surprise is that McDonald's makes the list.
The key to eating well at these restaurants is to look for the healthy options, like salad, soups and organic foods. Also patrons should go with reasonably sized items. But people need to be careful and stay away from unhealthy options like fries and super-size items.
The magazine's criteria was to look at uses of fats, preparation, sodium counts, organic produce and the availability of nutritional information.
The America's Top 10 Healthiest Fast Food Restaurants are:
1. Panera Bread
2. Jason's Deli
3. Au Bon Pain
4. Noodles and Company
5. Corner Bakery café
6. Chipotle
7. Atlanta Bread
8. McDonald's
9. Einstein Bros. Bagels
10. Taco Del Mar

( 3 / 15 )Sorry, I've been very neglectful of my blog duties. The good news is that I finally got Carrie to provide me with all of the photos of Alex from the last 4 months. I'll now have to correct the orientation of all the photos, back them up, and then I can add them to the web site. To get you excited about what's to come (as I get time) I've added some new photos to Alex's 4 and 5 month galleries.
I also consolidated his first three months worth of photos into their own gallery to make navigation easier. Let me know what you think!
