2010 January: Bates

Well, I've been a busy bee.

I am working on several side-project websites (some of my own, and some as favors to other people). So that has encompassed most of my free time.

We've also been passing a cold back and forth between us, so we've been pretty sick and tired recently. Orianna is starting to feel better though, so hopefully we will get more sleep because she wont be up as much at night.

In the entertainment realm, I bought Lego-Star-Wars for the Wii, so I've played that most everytime Orianna has kept me up at night. It is entertaining to play, and cutsie enough that it distracts Orianna from feeling sick.

I also ventured a Wal-Mart visit at 2AM to get some more orange juice for Orianna, and I discovered an amazing fact: Walmart has AMAZING deals... at 2AM. We usually shop about 6PM on a weekday or 10AM on a Saturday. I always see these empty racks with $1 - $7 signs... but nothing except XXXXL clothing is ever on them. Well, at 2AM these racks are populated with cheap clothing and doodads. I ended up buying Orianna several $1 shirts, several $2-$3 dresses, and myself several $2-$5 shirts. So, the next time I want to go clothes shopping, it will be at 2AM.

Tamara had her first doctor's visit, and the ultrasound is scheduled for next week, but we aren't finding out the gender (at least not from the technician, but I'll review the DVD to see if I can figure it out on my own).

Cheers,
-Rob, Tamara, Orianna, *expected-one*

Rob, I'm sorry that it's taken so long to look at the blog and reply. It's been a busy month and it keeps slipping my mind. I'm glad to hear you are doing well, minus the being sick and all. Becky and I have been lucky so far this year and have avoided the bug. Becky works at a pediatric dentist's office, so it's a wonder she hasn't caught something. Maybe the Lord is blessing me because He knows I don't have time to get sick, or maybe He's just allowing me to be lulled into a false sense of security. Anyway, we hope all the best for you and your growing family!
