My Bad

I missed a couple days of blogging this week. I guess I've had a lot going on at work and haven't taken any new pictures in a while. Linda and Gil have been in town since Monday and Gil took a quick trip up to Philly to visit Elaine, who had a little a slightly abnormal ekg at the doctors office this week and spent a night in the hospital. I hear she's feeling much better. Nicole and I opened her anniversary gift to us last night and thank her very much. We also got a nice card and resources from my parents to help us eat an extremely expensive meal this weekend for our fifth anniversary.

Dylan and Sam are loving the new google video service and we have found a number of train videos posted by users out there that we watch on laptops, desktops and the media pc in the basement attached to the big plasma. That one has the added benefit of all the train noises in 5 channel sound. Try it out, go to google video and search trains. Actually searching "chicago trains" gets you to their current favorite. That video includes a couple double decker Amtraks, some Metra's and a whole bunch of "double diesels" with intermodal cars. We have a good time counting the diesels and naming the cars. I hope to add footage of trains coming and going from Alexandria to google video when the weather warms up.

Oh yeah, they also like jumping off the furniture into the bean bags. Sam actually has a few Greg Louganis moves when he jumps. He's almost got a complete 360 degree spin going, but has mastered the jump forword, spin to land on your butt move. He also has the spread your arms out wide and fall thing going to, complete with rolling his eyes back in his head as if he's passing out. Dylan seem to like to dive for distance. It's all safe, I've got both bean bags together and their is really not room to miss, yet...

The boys have been going to school this week and only have minor coughs so they're pretty happy.

Gotta go...
