Alex is a real trooper. Right now he's got four teeth trying to invade his mouth. He finally gets over the pain from one of them, and the next one starts. But overall his mood has been great ! He's walking all over the place as long as there is furniture to grab onto. He gets faster every day. What are we in for?He also celebrated his frist St. Nick's day . His mother who thinks he will grow up to be a first class chef got him the kitchen fun time set. He does seem to like it a lot.
Carrie has been sick, which has not made her days easy. It's nothing major, but she operates now with no time for rest and that's not helping.
Our friends Jackie and Noah had their annual Holiday party last night. I just woke up from that. Wow! It was a fantastic time. Highlights include Jim beating down all opponents at Wii boxing , two rousing flip cup tournies, multiple games of Drinko , me winning the annual Street Fighter 2 tournament of champions (to maintain my undefeated streak), amazing snacks, a fine cigar , and the opportunity to stay up to 3am in the morning with my closest friends. Even our buddy Bill was there. It was a great time as always. Thanks to our gracious hosts.

( 2.9 / 39 )The volume of junk e-mail sent worldwide plummeted on Tuesday after a Web hosting firm identified by the computer security community as a major host of organizations engaged in spam activity was taken offline.
Experts say the precipitous drop-off in spam comes from Internet providers unplugging McColo Corp., a hosting provider in Northern California that was the home base for machines responsible for coordinating the sending of roughly 75 percent of all spam each day.
(Note: A link to the full story on McColo's demise is available here .)

( 3.1 / 27 )There are a ton of new pictures up in Alex's photo gallery. The second page contains them all. New entries in the Six Month gallery, and brand new 7 and 8 month galleries to boot!
Click here to enjoy them all!
My birthday party was a lot of fun, by the way. Thanks a bunch to the hosts, and to all that came. Tim, I stole some of your Dr. Peppers. Sorry about that.
And also, in case you live in a cave , Obama won the election. Awesome!

( 2.9 / 30 )I have been extremely busy with my new job and have been neglecting the blog. Sorry about that. There have actually been some pretty big events. Alex is not standig up every chance he gets. Every thing that is knee-high has been child proofed. It's amazing how instantly a baby goes from sitting to being able to stand up. The change was as sure as if some one had flicked a switch and given him the ability. It's neat.
New pictures of Alex will be posted soon. You'll get to see him standing up as well as witness his pumpkin halloween outfit. It's a real treat. Maybe you'll also get to see his two brand new top front teeth. I hadn't mentioned that before? Well, there you go.
I'm turning 32 years old this weekend. Noah has been kind enough to offer up his house to host a weekend long lan party. There will be much beer, many games, possibly some poker, and a couple cigars.

( 3 / 30 )If no news is good news then I've basically got good news. Alex turned 8 months old yesterday. Carrie and I have been married for four years (and here's to many more). My sister turns another marvelous year older this Friday. Work is going ok. Gas prices are better, but my 401k took a huge hit. That's about all there is to say.
