I know, I know

So I know it's been a long time since I posted anything with any real information. I just keep putting it off and things get in the way and such. So here is a quick catch up in no particular order:

-We're in the process of buying a house. I've bought 2 houses before and don't remember them being this stressful. Maybe it's a lower tolerance to stress, or just that with the economy the way it is, it's harder. Either way it has been a long process, and we're not even done yet, nor do we know if we're going to get the house. Good times.

-The pregnancy is going well. My Jazzy was made for making babies. She is healthy, our little boy, who will remain unamed until he's born, is healthy. She's uncomfortable of course, and that makes me sad since I can't do anything for her. Any suggestions from the ladies would be nice.

-The kids are doing great. Keaghan just had his heart broken by his first girlfriend. She told him (via another girl) that she couldn't be his GF anymore becuase she fell in love with another boy. Oh the misery and sorrow! He's doing great in school, he reads to me every night I have him. He also just finished his second soccer season. Now he wants to start Karate. That should be a blast.

-The Kainoah is growing up so fast. Talking in complete sentances, and telling me what she wants (see demanding), is really weird. I don't remember the Keaghan being this vocal, or needy. She is a girl, and I am her father so I'm wrapped around her little finger. What's not growing is her body. She's so tiny. She still only weighs about 25 lbs. She'll be 3 in less than 4 months!

-Work is going well. I've been in this same position for over 2 years and with the company now almost 3. I'm very thankful to have a job with the economy the way it is. I've got a big test coming up in a week so wish me luck!

-Since I started dating Jazzy I've gained about 25 lbs. Here's the math involved:
Being comfortable + quitting fighting + being lazy + she cooks for me + we go out + I eat when she eats since she's pregnant = 25 lbs. Good times. I've tried several things to get me back into shape but nothing that can keep the initial motivation going. I've signed up to run a half marathon in August so I'm hoping that keeps the drive. What I really want to do is start martial arts again. Something like Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Sambo, Muay Thai, etc. Something that is a great workout along with learning how to kick some A.

I guess that's all for now. Until next quarter...

You are still alive! Your family is so cute, and that's great to hear you are having a boy. As far as tips on being more comfortable (for your wife), I don't have any (sorry), but just try to help her out as much as you can. Even bending over is really hard! Good luck, you crazy kids!

It was good to hear about you and your family Joey. I follow as I can. Welcome to the plus 25 or so club. It sucks but it comes from great stuff so what the heck. I swim and walk and do push-ups and try to watch it but...
The kids are growing up fast, enjoy it while they are around, it's magical.
