Thanks guys.
Matthew turned two on the 18th, and since we both have a birthday during that time it commenced our annual "Man Week".
During Man Week we get to slide on our chores a little bit, watch football, scratch and burp, and perform other manly activities (when he gets a bit older we'll play golf all week). This week that included putting up the Christmas lights. Matthew supervised while I did the grunt work. BTW, I just love putting the icicle lights up on the 2nd floor eaves using a ladder that comes up a few feet short!
For his party we had his favorite Thomas The Tank Engine theme going. I thought his head was going to explode with all of the Thomas items around. We also rented a big moon bounce for the day for all of the kids at the party. He was a bit wary of it at first, but by the end he didn't want to get out.
The best part of this last week? I did not work and barely touched the computer for 4 straight days. For anyone that knows me, I rarely go more than a day without working. It was actually refreshing to ignore the PC for a few days.
Thanks for your well wishes. Now I need to get back to work
