A Much Needed Update

After much prodding from just about everyone, this update has finally occurred.  I know, I know, this should have come two months ago, but, with the new baby, things just got a little crazy and Facebook and Twitter became the primary means of communication.

First off, I know you’re all looking for pictures.  I’ve uploaded a bunch of them to Flickr, and we’ll try to keep adding more.  Since I’m never going to upgrade to a pro account, the oldest pictures will eventually roll off.  I doubt a picture will be up for less than a month, though.

We’ve been having tons of fun with Corinne.  And it’s bath time, so more will come soon!

Check out the G-Town Kickballers!

As the cold winter weather heads in, kickball season is coming to a close. Check out the video for highlights of our season!

Dad

Well it has been a few weeks and dad is home doing really well.  On Saturday he was able to go to church for the first time since being in the hospital.  He has had several doctors appointments and all of them have been really positive.  He is loosing weight (about 35 pounds so far) and feeling better.  Of course, some days are better than others but he is overall doing very well.  Tomorrow he will go in for his initial visit at the hospitals cardiac rehab…I am sure the pounds are going to continue to fly off.

As for the family, we are all doing well.  We too are trying to improve our eating habits and get healthier.  Kickball is going well.  When Dad was in the hospital he kept saying that he hopes by next summer (cross our fingers) that he may be able to play with us.  Of course, we will see.

All in all things are very good.  We are just so lucky to have another chance to spend time with Dad and we are not taking it for granted…neither is he!  I would say the hardest thing for him right now is that he is ready to feel better and ready to get out and his body just isn’t quite ready for all the Evans action!  He will get there though…

Keep him in your thoughts and prayers.  Attached is a photo from this past Sunday.  It was his grandson’s fourth birthday.  (By the way…he did not eat ANY cake!)  Dad

Race your face

Laura and I are signed up for the 5K through Lawrence on April 19th.  I’m totally going to win.

Blog it up!

Sick Sunday night into Monday.  Still don’t feel wonderful.  Flu or food poisoning.  Jury is still out, but a co-worker argued for flu.  I’m leaning that way, as I’d prefer that to be the cause.  Watched many car chase shows on my sick day between naps.  That’s pretty much all TrueTV shows all day during the week.  I don’t think I saw a single criminal get shot though.  Sad.

Finals season beginning.  Many papers due very soon.  Plan is to tackle one paper this weekend with my partner, next weekend I fly solo on the Ethics paper.  Two weeks off, then my final module begins.

Got my arm in a KC Star picture.  Very proud of myself.

My 360 is totally back.  Hooked up, but not fired up yet.  Time to remedy that.
