So, with things settling down a bit, we’ve turned out attention forward. The Dinosaur Nest is all but erased from our daily chores which has freed up a bit of time and mental power we can devote elsewhere. It was a difficult decision, but hindsight being 20/20 it feels and looks like the right decision.

We’re in the mode of planning out what vehicles to get for the days ahead. We need a vehicle that is better suited to a growing family. Also, something that has at least a touch of luxury (if only in the form of a quieter ride). Our cars would do fine, but I think we’re both pretty burnt out on them. I know I’m jonesing real bad for a motorcycle ride. I keep thinking that a nice ride up the mountain would do wonders for my sanity. Help to clear my head. I rode a buddy of mine’s cruiser the other day. It felt good to be back in the saddle. I have NO idea why I sold my bike. That was truly a STUPID thing to do. These days, however I have my sights on a sportbike. I think it’s time to trade in the leather jacket for a racing jacket. After much consideration I’ve decided as long as the bike is comfortable to ride, I will be buying a Suzuki GSX-R600. 600ccs on a sportbike should keep me plenty occupied for awhile I figure. It won’t be like the 650cc cruiser I had as my first bike… Can you say S-L-O-W?

Prof. Fussy Pants is doing well these days. He’s up to 7 lbs and 13 ozs! Still gaining about an ounce a day! Little porker! His stomach is quite the annoyance for him. I’m sure if he weren’t our son we’d be in jail for shaken baby syndrome! Ahh, but nature is a wonderful thing. No matter how frustrating it can get, if it’s your child you just can’t get mad. :) Life seems to be getting a bit better — slowly but surely.

Here’s a pic of the professor doing what he does best :)

And here’s a pic of my son and I watching TV before bed. :)
