Last night my wife and I attended our first LaMaze class. Before we went to bed I inflated the birthing ball. This morning I was greeted with that question from my oldest son as he was holding the birthing ball. He had a huge smile on his face and a look of excitement.
What a fun time!

Pulling out teeth
Jacob is loosing teeth so fast. He lost one top tooth a few days ago and the other top one is ready to go.
In the middle of one of his construction projects he pulled out a tooth while trying to tear a piece of tape by biting it. The funny part is this was a bottom tooth, he still had the loose top tooth. So he was set on getting this pulled and wanted to try the STRING method.
I tied some dental floss to his top tooth and he walked around for a while playing with the string and tugging on it, but it eventually slipped off. Of course he wanted to try it again. This time I decided to do something slightly different.
I tied the string to the top tooth, and then took the other end of the string and tied it to his right arm. I knew he would eventually forget that his right arm was bound to his tooth and he would pull it out himself. It turns out that 2 minutes later he lost his tooth whem I threw a toy to him to catch.
What memories! Now we get to enjoy the 'TH' lisp he will have for the next few weeks.

Taking a day off with your Boyz sure is fun!
After working 11 days in a row, and with a baby sister on the way, I definitely needed to spend some father-son(s) time.
We went fishing on the pier in Pismo (didn't catch anything), ate clam-chowder bowls as Splash Cafe (the Boyz' favorite), and got to have free ice cream at Doc Burnsteins.
This turn into a doubly fun trip because this morning I saw a picture of my oldeset son on my shoulders on the front page the the Santa Maria Times.

Landing on the Moon - Happy Anniversary!
It's approaching the 40th anniversary for landing on the moon. The whole event is being commemorated at: http://www.wechoosethemoon.org/
If you go there, you can hear all the real-time audio that ocurred between CAPCOM and the Command Module. Quite amazing - a chance for me to experience what I missed if I were alive in the 50s.
Did you know they travells over 2,300 MPH?

Guayaki energy shots
This is totally going to sound like a commercial but:
I just got back from a 1,500 Mile family vacation trip to Colorado. 2 days each way (7 hours in the car each day). guayaki is one of my clients so they send me some interesting beverages and one of these were their energy shots.
These were PERFECT for the drive helping me stay focused, alert, and positive the whole way!
I have worked with them for over 6 years now - and I have switched from soda to their teas. Talk about great energy without the sugar.
Thanks Guayaki!
