Since my last update, we are finally getting a little more sleep. Although, since Becky has not returned to work she has taken the brunt of the abuse. Ben is sleeping in longer stretches in the evening, and we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. As you can tell by my frequency of updates, similar to when Rachel was that age, time is at a premium. Doubly so with two instead of one…

We have been taking pictures, though. So, here are a ton of updates from the last couple of months. I’ll try to be better about posting what is happening around here, but I seriously doubt it will happen! <grin>

I was a little slow in getting all of the pictures up as I promised, but things like work refused to cooperate. I put up so many album updates today, they rolled off of the latest menu that always shows up on the left. I’ve included the latest list with this post in case you missed any of them.

The New Picture List:
Whitney’s Baby Shower
Pictures of Rachel at 10 months
A few miscellaneous photos of our friends
Our Christmas celebration with the Cone side of the family
Hanukkah 2006 with the Brenners
Photos from New Year’s Day
Dinner with Bob and Liz
Christmas Day and the First Day of Hanukkah
Christmas Eve

So, where does the hard hat in the subject line come from? After all of the shifting of the house and yard, the deck around the pool was in terrible shape. We also need to put a safety cover on the pool with the new little resident running around. So, we’re are having that work done now. We also decided it was about time to replace the liner as well.

Being the nerd that I am, I have pointed the web cam into the backyard. I’ll leave it there until the work is complete. They are pouring concrete on the 13th. I’ve tried to move everything that might block the view of the camera. I can’t promise once they start work tomorrow, they won’t hamper the view though. Let’s hope not. So, have too much time on your hands? Watch them pour concrete at my house tomorrow by watching the backyard cam.

This entry will be a quick one. As they all seem to be lately. You would think I was busy with other things… Everyone has been demanding photo updates, and I finally managed to get them posted. Here are the most recent links:
Jake’s 14th Birthday
Pictures from April and May of Rachel
Grandma Diane came to visit Rachel
Memorial Day and Farewell Party at Bob and Liz’s

Enjoy the new pictures. I’ll try to be more diligent in the future at getting these posted.
