A while between posts

Finally getting some time to update my blog... sheesh, what a busy summer so far!

Today marks one month in our house. Wow. Lots done, but lots more to go. Hardly seems like we've been here a week.

We were lucky to have my folks and my sister come out last week and be here last weekend. They helped us (ok, Amy) around the house get things set up, cleaned up, unpacked, put together, etc. Really enjoyed seeing everyone again, and Spencer liked seeing everyone as well. And somehow Spencer wrangled an expensive toy from Grandma and Grandpa again.

On top of that, my uncle and his wife visited us from Spokane. And one of my colleagues from Whirlpool who moved out here stopped by as well. Great opportunity to fire up the new tri-burner, 45,000 BTU grill. Despite some burnt corn (Spencer called it "Purdue corn" because it was black and yellow), things turned out ok. Really enjoyed having everyone out here for the day.

Work is very busy. Not that I didn't expect it, but probably makes it that much tougher trying to get adjusted to a new town and a new house. Amy's already calling herself an "Amazon widow" which is probably not a good sign. I did order a leisure novel from Amazon so maybe I can find an excuse to get away from work a little.

Garrett is starting to prop himself up on his knees and rock. Not backward crawling yet, but that won't be long. He must be growing pretty fast as he's been getting up pretty early.

The Blue Angels are in town this weekend. Probably won't get a chance to see them, but they come to Seattle every year. We saw them a couple years ago in Muskegon, Michigan, and they were great.
