Favorite words

Nicky says so much stuff now that I can’t keep up with the list on the side of the website.  We all have our favorite words that he says:

Chuck – elbow Jen – pancake (it comes out “papke”, so CUTE!) Nicky – barrette (pronounced “brette” and he says it all the time!) Keanu [...]

Learning

Nicky really blows my mind these days.  Here’s what he’s up to:

He’s putting together phrases more now, usually “more” something or something “please”. We’re spending lots of quality time on the potty chair.  I’ve been having success about once a day, so that’s a start! Chuck brought an alphabet puzzle for Nicky when [...]

Wii’re going to be Fit!

We finally jumped on the bandwagon and got a copy of Wii Fit for ourselves!  It’s been EXTREMELY difficult to find, both in stores and online, but there was finally a shipment this week and a whole bunch of stores had it advertised in the paper this morning.  We called Toys R Us this [...]

Monday, I had to work 5-9, so Nicky went next door with Katie, Chris and Rylie.  He did really well, especially considering that it was the first time he’d ever been away from either Chuck [...]

RHCE in Columbus

This week, I’ll be in Columbus, Ohio in hopes of becoming a Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE).  This certification is highly regarded and is only achieved by passing a five-and-a-half-hour hands-on exam.  Jen and Nicky will be dropping me off at the airport to pick up the rental car around noon tomorrow.  From there [...]

For my mom and grandma

Pitter patter

It’s true; their tiny feet do make a pitter-patter noise.  It’s also true that it’s a beautiful sound!

Bridal shower

I’m looking for a place to host a bridal shower for my sister, probably at the end of February.  There are MANY great places in the Buffalo area, so we’ve picked three that we’ll choose from:

The Eagle House in Williamsville Banchetti by Rizzo’s in Amherst The Bijou Grille in Buffalo

The prices are [...]
