C'mon Mom, Keep Up!

I have been informed more than once recently that I have been extremely slow to update the blog. I've offered to pass on the responsibility, but that didn't fly so here I am.

We've been busy since we last posted (coloring Easter eggs two months ago!). We experienced the busiest weekend yet. Zoobilee was Friday, the 15th. Ike's "Tigger" party was Saturday, the 16th. Father's Day was Sunday, the 17th. By the 18th, we were ready to go back to work because we couldn't take anymore excitement!

We've started a bit of a tradition (if Aggies do something twice, it becomes Tradition) with our Father's Day lunches. This year we returned to Pappadeaux's because Mick wanted to eat alligator (and there was no wait). Mick got a free coffee mug to commemorate the occasion.

In other news since April, Aggie is now eating table food and drinking cow milk. She's walking and says "dada". Her hair is really growing in the back, but she still appears bald on top. She has taken on an endearing nickname at daycare: they all call her "Pelona" which means no hair, baldy. I think she's going to take this nickname with her to the toddler room.

Ike is potty training. He's doing a pretty good job so far. He's got standing offers for rewards once he gets it down pat. His vocabulary is improving and his speech is improving. Lately he's been saying "yessss" and "why-eeee". Today is his 3-year check up so we'll find out how big he has gotten. We know he's a big boy, but we can't wait to quantify it. On that note, today is our last visit to see Dr. Readinger. He is moving to Fort Worth, and Mommy is sad about that. Ike had a great Tigger party with his friends at Monkey Bizness, and last weekend he went to Hopey's gymnastics party.

Mommy's work is very busy, hence no posts. Houston is booming right now because of the oil industry, and Cameron stock is up. Our division moved to our new location over the Memorial Day weekend, and a month later, we are still dealing with build out issues. I've also gone through Lean Six Sigma Greenbelt Level I and II training. All I need is some more work, right?!

Daddy is busy with the first summer session that he affectionately refers to as "Summer Boot Camp". He has about two more weeks of that, and then he's down to one class per week. But when his real job simmers down, his "honey do" list kicks in. There is plenty to do around the house to keep him from becoming bored. We got gutters put on the house, and our next project is getting a patio installed. Decorative Concrete....who knew? Once that's in, I'll have to post about it.

In other interesting news, Bobby Jones, as in Bobby Jones Czech Band that played at our wedding, is currently missing. He was last seen on June 22nd and no one has seen him or heard from him since. He missed two gigs over the weekend and didn't show up to work Monday morning. According to the news reports, it doesn't seem like they are looking too hard for him. They don't yet suspect foul play....they seem to think he might have taken off on his own. But either way, we feel they should be doing more to locate him. Godspeed.
