6 years down… happy anniversary to my amazing wife.

As you can see Brendan enjoyed our first family vacation. We went to Sand Key in Clearwater Beach, FL and stayed at the Sheraton. The hotel was very nice, and the beach was very beautiful. The biggest problem was how hot it was, but we got some good beach time. That evening we met up with Steve and Allison Chubboy. Jeni and I haven’t seen Steve and Allison since they moved back from Tennessee and it was good to catch up with them.
We only spent the one evening in Clearwater and on the way home we had lunch with Jeni’s sister. Saturday we had decided to go get Jeni a new car. We decided on the new 2007 Honda CR-V EX-L model. Unfortunately we weren’t able to make a deal with Mike Ramesar and his Sales manager the first day at Classic Honda. But Mike was persistant and a few days later we worked out a deal, so Jeni has a new 2007 Glacier blue Honda CR-V. Instead of buying the Honda GPS unit we decided to order our own, and we got the Garmin Nuvi 660. So far we are pretty happy with it, although I haven’t quite figured out all the features yet.
For me the best part of the vacation was the last day. It was a monday and Jeni and I took Brendan to daycare and we spent the day together. We had breakfast at LePeep, and finally took the time to run some long awaited earnds. Finally we went to see Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix. The movie was great, and it was the first movie Jeni and I have gone to together since before Brendan was born, so that was a lot of fun.
That was basically our first family vacation. Enjoy all the photos on flickr!
So I finally got around to uploading the rest of the pictures that were on our camera, so be sure to go to the photo gallery and see all the new stuff.
A lot of neat stuff has been going on lately. Jeni is done with and enjoying every minute of it. At least for now, I am sure she will begin calling me 5 times a day as she runs out of stuff to do ;-). Also two days a week she has got to spend some time with our niece, Aeisha, to help her get ready for the 1st grade next year!
I finally got my promotion I have been hoping for. I am now a Senior Developer which makes me sound important. But all it means is I now have to be on call every other month, and I get to torment, I mean train, new people.
Brendan has been growing like crazy. He is gooing and gagaing but no consonants yet. We have two teeth finally poking through. Wow was that fun. He went from quite lovable Brendan to crying machine as soon as he got tired. It was amazing, but over all I think he dealt with his first two teeth quite well, and I am very proud of him.
Two days ago he had his 6 month checkup and the doctor says he looks healthy, and we should try feeding him more baby food. This is easier said than done, so far Brendan has had one good feeding where he was actually consuming the food instead of just making funny faces. Hopefully this will get better over time.
Also on a final note, I had my first Father Day and it was great, I got woke up at 8:30 a.m. two Brendan, Kye-Lynn and Jeni all presenting cards…two of which had them in there mouth ;-).
Enjoy the pictures.
I just sent my first (by first I mean successful) mo-blog (mobile blog) post from my phone. Now I can blog while Jeni, Brendan and I are out and about.
