Pictures of Niagara Falls

My “surprise” trip Friday night was to Niagara Falls. I did not want to post that Friday night, as I had gifts for Cortney, Sean and Ethan from there, and I did not want to give them a hint as to what they were getting.

With the three hour time difference, I ran out of energy last night, so I did not get around to uploading the pictures until this evening.

Anyhow, without further ado, here are the pictures (they were taken with my cell phone, so they are not the best quality, but at least they are still interesting). Click on the picture to go to the photo album.

A Relaxing Day

This morning, I concentrated on spending time with Sean. We played several games of Parcheesi, and built a Lego model. I took a nap this afternoon, and just before dinner, I took Sean and Ethan in the pool. The swim in the pool was very nice. The water has cooled off a bit, and the humidity is just high enough to prevent the rapid evaporation than can make leaving the water uncomfortable.

Cortney finished painting of the walls of the kid’s room. She just needs to paint the baseboards and the trim around the room.

One Day At a Time

Despite not feeling well, I made it through a full day of work and a tour of duty at Burger King this weekend.

Sean and Ethan still are not getting enough sleep. I’m hoping the three of us can rest up this weekend.

Sean Returns to Gym Class

Cortney and I declared Sean well enough to start his gym class again. Sean certainly had no problem in class, and nothing unusual happened. We have also noticed that he has been snoring less, and it appears that it is easier for Sean to breath through his mouth. We won’t really know how well his surgery went until next Wednesday, when he goes back to the doctor for his follow-up visit.

Tonight was library night. I decided I wanted to take a turn with Ethan in the baby story time, so I left Cortney to watch Sean playing with the trains. However, Sean didn’t want to be left out, so he soon joined Ethan and I. I think he remembered some of the songs from when he went to baby story time. Sean also particpated in the older child story time, but he was impatient with some of the stories. He did enjoy the movie though.

Ethan has been really bad recently about spitting out his food. It was so bad that this evening, he had his dinner cut short because of it. Cortney and I both tried feeding him, without much luck.

It was a hot day today, with a high of 110 degrees. That’s the warmest it has been in the since early July. It was drier though, with a humidity of only 9%, so it seemed more comfortable overall. I’m going to wait until after Sean goes to bed before enjoying the pool.

Sean was still worn out from his activities from yesterday. He slept until about 8:00am, which is more than an hour later than he usually gets up. He also took a long nap, and was still tired before his normal bedtime at 7:30pm.

I had fun with the yardwork this morning. Despite yesterday’s hot and dry weather, it was very humid this morning, so I was really working up a sweat. I had damaged one of the sprinker heads while mowing the lawn, so I replaced the sprinkler head. I was trying to adjust the spray of the sprinkler when I accidently unscrewed the top, creating a 10 foot geyser. I briefly tried screwing it back on, but there was too much pressure. I had to run to the control box, which is on the opposite side of the house. In the process, I ended up getting completely drenched. I wanted to cool off after finishing the yardwork, but that’s not what I had intended.
