Catching up!

Wow, I have had the privilege of spending the past 6 days with my children and my wife, and I have had a wonderful time so far. I am sliding back into my role as daddy after a 5 month stint in Oak Ridge, TN. I have missed a lot of time with them and I am trying to make up for it in a week of time off. Though I am trying, I know that nothing can replace that time lost and that it is just something that I have to deal with. I am extremely grateful to have a job in this economy. I hope that I won’t have to travel for a little while and can properly make up for lost time.

It has been a long time since either one of us has blogged, so I thought I’d get it kicked off again. Rachel and I are doing well (even with the travel.) She has been an inspiration to me with her weight loss. Angie is in her second year of pre-school, and starting to trace letters. The potty training is going well and we are almost totally there aside from the past three days where things have gone a little haywire. Caleb is starting to talk up a storm, although it is hard for him to get a word in with Angie around. We sometimes forget how much he can talk until Angie is at school, and then he lets loose the vocab.
We went to the GA Aquarium on Tuesday and that was a great day to go. The crowd was light and the animals were active. We got some great pictures.
That’s all for now.
