In her absense Alex and I got to spend two whole days together partying. It was great. We played with firetrucks, went to the park, and ate corn dogs two nights in a row. It wasn't the healthiest weekend of his life, but when the cat is away...
I've been playing some incredible games lately. Recently I had the peasure of completing Call of Juarez and Trine . Both were a ton of fun. I'm now playing The Witcher , and so far it's really enjoyable. I also heard that it's really long, so I guess it'll be a while before I get to try out the recently announced 1.02 patch for Mass Effect which is supposed to fix all of the issues I has with the game. I'll be installing the add-on pack and playing that again before venturing into the sequel.
Next week we're all going on vacation to Fence Lake in Minocqua. It'll be Carrie, Alex, and myself along with my Mother, father and sister for an entire week. We're hoping Alex doesn't mind the ~5 hour drive, the new bed, and completely new environment, but I imagine we'll do ok. I'm really looking forward to it.

Carrie and I had a pretty nice weekend. We got to eat some Boston Market Friday night thanks to a coupon. Alex almost ate more than Carrie. That kid loves good wholesome American food (covered in gravy or cheese).Saturday my parent's offered to take Alex overnight. Carrie had a lot of work to get done, so she stayed home, but I took Alex down to see Grandma and Grandpa. My sister was in town so we did some eating, some drinking, and some shopping. It was a great time. Then I went home and Carrie and I did dinner and movie.
Sunday was the first day I've had in months where we didn't have something going on. I took advantage of this by doing almost nothing the entire day. I managed to do some laundry and some dishes, but mostly I did nothing for hours. It was everything I'd hoped it could be.

( 3.1 / 123 )I just posted a ton of new pictures of Alex in the gallery . Everything from the 13th through the 17th months of his life are now online for you to view. He's so handsome. He looks just like his daddy!

( 3 / 115 )MillerCoors LLC has begun testing the sale of $20 draft-beer systems for consumers to drink at home, part of a string of new products and package innovation from beer giants grappling for market share in a crowded, slow-growing industry.
MillerCoors, the second-largest U.S. brewer by revenue, has begun testing the 1.5-gallon "Home Draft" for its biggest brands -- Miller Lite and Coors Light -- in about a half-dozen cities, including Dallas, Phoenix and San Diego. The boxed product, which is designed to fit into refrigerators for drinkers to consume periodically, rather than for one-time party use, comes amid packaging overhauls by the U.S. units of Heineken NV and Anheuser-Busch InBev NV.

( 3.2 / 11 )We just had a pretty good weekend. We got a lot done, such as stripping paint and sanding areas of the outside of our house, buying and installing a new kitchen light, moving an extra desk into the garage and making room for it, etc. All things that needed to be done, and we got them done.
We also watched the movie 7 Pounds , and we really enjoyed it. This was on the heels of Punisher : War Zone, which was easliy the worst movie I've seen all year. We also bought two DVDs of trucks (monster or otherwise) that are so campy that even Alex barely enjoyed them.
Most exciting though was our trip to the Ren Faire . I hoped Alex would have a good time and he did. We ate many fantastic things including a beef, pork, cheese and portabella mushroom sausage with onions and mustard, and some fried mac'n'cheese. The weather was great and there were several kids areas which Alex loved running around in. We'll post pictures of that soon.
We were unable to attend the Jebe annual swim meet at Fred's house this weekend. We were sorry to miss everyone but I just don't think Alex is quite ready for a 5.5 hour car trip two days in a row yet. Maybe once we get a car DVD player.
