June Is Over

Well, in the past couple of weeks we've celebrated an anniversary and gone to the beach.

We went to Gulf Shores. The oil was terrible. Click the thumbnail above to open a high res picture. The double red flags were out. The beach was stained. Tar balls were everywhere. And, occasionally the oil would come ashore in long slicks that you could see stretch for several hundred yards, possible a mile or more. On the bright side, I hear that BHO is accepting foreign help. Hey, it only to 70 days!

While at the beach Al treated me and Campbell to dinner for our anniversary.

Campbell is getting to be a little girl now. She is such a playful and silly little girl. She just had her 18 month checkup. She's now 50th percentile height and weight and 90th in head circumference. She's learning more words and is starting pick up a little sign language. I still think her favorite thing to say is "stop".

Father's Day Eve Eve

We've had some rough times with furry family members as of late. Hopefully, everyone will wind up being fine. Dixie and Bella are both having unrelated issues right now, so let's hope their ordeals will be remedied quickly.

Campbell is getting bigger. Hard to believe; I know. She has gotten to where she can climb on to the couch, the chair, the top shelf by her TV... Last night we turned on Elmo Goes to Grouchland via Netflix through the Wii. The picture above is of her kicked back laughing at Elmo.

Marley is doing well physically. She is still needy. She's been bad a few times recently in a effort to get attention.

Al continues to enjoy her summer vacation. Meanwhile, I slave away. I'm looking forward to this weekend. I got the yard work out of the way yesterday. I hope to be able to hang out around the pool a little bit and play with Cam. Maybe golf will be in order. Of course, I'll have to catch some of the US Open. I could watch the World Cup, but soccer sucks!

Summer Is Here!

A lot has happened since the last post. Al is finished with school for the summer, so she gets to spend all day with Campbell. They both seem to enjoy it. I think you'll find them by a pool on most days.

We just got pictures back from Cam's school from January through the end of the year. It's surreal looking at how much she has grown in the past six months. She's getting so big! It's funny to see her personality come out more and more. She has a good blend of her mommy and daddy with a few quirks from other folks.

Al went for an infusion this morning. Her knee seems to be doing well. She asked me last night what I wanted to do for my birthday. I didn't know what to tell her. What does one do to celebrate their 25th birthday?
