Moving Right Along

by Slack, on May 19th, 2004

Well, things seem to be settling in a little bit for us. At least from my point of view they are. I wouldn’t say we’re in a routine yet, but it’s feeling more and more like it. I’ve been able to get more done around the house, and even have some time to relax. Now to get weekends off and I can start getting out and exercising again.

Rhys-man is getting bigger and bigger. He’s doing quite well, and I suspect the next time I write — or shortly thereafter — my little man will be off of oxygen for good! Right now he’s on meds to help with the reflux. Just like in the hospital. But it seems to be helping out quite a bit!

Guess what I found the other day!!! Linguica! Yep! That’s right! The elusive portuguese sausage! The last time we found some here, it was absolute crap. This time it tasted just like it did on the islands. Oh sweet heaven! So, Heidi and I purchased every last package from the store. :) My mom also requested we get her some. :) Now all we need is some fresh Kona and we’d be having breakfast Hawai’ian style every morning. :)

In other news I just purchased all the equipment I need to get our home network in tip top shape. So, we’ll have four machines: Saturn – my Gentoo Linux box, P4 2GHZ; Venus – Heidi’s XP Machine P4 2GHZ; Mars – Our Gentoo file server 1.8GHZ Celeron; Pluto – Our Gentoo firewall P2 400Mhz… It’s gonna be fun I tell ya! Some people have project cars…. I have a project network. :) Can you say luser? So, after setting those up, I’ll have a spare P2, Mac G3 and Mac G4… Also enough random bits to throw another machine together, tho I can’t say what it’d amount to. The only other machine in the plans is a Gentoo PVR for the living room. :) Muhahahah.

So, anyway, those are the things in our life… Here’s a pic of Rhys!

Lastly, here’s a commercial I found. It’s hilarious because if you crank the volume up you can hear one of the crew members cussing someone out in the background!! It’s real faint tho, so turn it up! Cool Commercial

Awww… he is getting so big and is just as cute as he can be! Congrats to the little guy on how well he is doing with his oxygen. Thanks for posting the picture – I was in need of a current one to put on my computer desktop! Love you guys – miss you Heidi! Jess

Mom says:

Talked with Heidi this afternoon and she told me the wonderful news that Rhys’ oxygen tube is OFF finally! Am so happy and can’t wait to see him tomorrow. :)

Much love,

Mom
