It started with the garbage truck.

This is Steve posting this time. I'll start with the Polliwogs. Aubrey is really excited about Nikki and Grandma Robin coming, and to celebrate she skipped her nap for the 4th straight day... Mommy and Daddy just looove that. Jamie is 6 weeks old, and he went to the doctor for his 1 month checkup. He was just under 12 pounds and 22.25 inches. This puts him at 55th percentile for height and 70th percentile for weight. Doctor Bailey says he's doing great. Unfortunately, he also had to get some shots. Poor fella, he has a pitiful quivering cry that melts your heart. The only silver lining is that it might make him sleep through the night. Is it wrong that I'm a just a little glad he go the shots?

And now for our day, off-topic from the Polliwogs. It started with me jumping out of the shower to chase down the garbage truck, because I forgot to put the trash out last night. Terminix came this morning (just an annual check-up), then off I went to work and Aubrey to school. Works fine, but I had to come home early to meet the A/C repair guy. They came out last August when our house was under warranty because we had a coolant leak. Of course they didn't fix it right and we're out of coolant again and the downstairs A/C doesn't work. Now I've got to fight with DR Horton to make sure honor the warranty. In the meantime we'll just have to deal with a warm downstairs... at least upstairs is nice and cool. While this was going on, Nikki calls and they missed their flight because David got hung up at work. They were supposed to fly in tonight, but now they'll come in tomorrow. Needless to say, there was high drama at the Gray house which was made even better since Aubrey was hyper from not having a nap. FYI for those without kids: even though it would make sense for a child to be tired from lack of sleep, they in fact become hyper. I'll call this the Inverse Law of Toddler Sleep.

Leinenkugels made the evening a little better, but I may have to try Cuervo before the night is done. Jamie is mad as a hornet from his shots. Company is coming tomorrow, then I'll go to Spain and Aubrey goes to Alabama. The month of Daddy and Polliwog traveling begins... may make for some fun posts.
