Well, I lost 40 lbs (though gained 10 back the next lunch... so I am at my desired weight) and won a TV. I am enjoying the TV a lot, though I rarely watch it. It is great at captivating Orianna's attention (I'm such a great father).
Tamara's brother got married this month, so we were busy helping them get all their dolls-and-dishes in order. They are both really young, so it will be a little rough getting going, but it should be good- as they are both great kids.
We are excited to be in the final stretch of Tamara's pregnancy. June 27th is her due date.
We started spring cleaning pretty early this year. Our garage is cleaned out, our front yard has a make-shift-fence around it (so Orianna can play in the yard), and we are working on figuring out how to tap into our sewer line to add another Bathroom in our house (wish me luck... so that our house doesn't end up covered in poop). We still aren't sure if we want to keep both kids in the same nursery, or sacrifice our guest-room/play-room so that they have their own rooms and don't wake each other up (as we have cinder block walls... so they really muffle sound well).
The most disappointing part of the month was the job offer I got (how is that for ungrateful?). I applied at a job my friend referred me to, and they offered me $6,500 less than I currently make. When I asked them why, they said that my boss thought I sucked as a programmer (they said it more tactfully). I asked my boss about it, and apparently he is a bad reference to give, because he doesn't come across well over the phone. I am still a little miffed at the answers he gave to their questions... but too late to cry over spilled milk now... or is it? I think my new plan will be to write an Emo song about job-depreciation or something, maybe my miffed-ness can turn into a hit single ;)
Well, until next month,
-Rob

That's kind of funny that your company gave a really nice TV to the person who lost the most weight. "Here, now that you're skinny here's a really nice TV so you can get fat again and the rest of us won't feel bad." Congrats on winning though, that's got to be a great feeling.
It would be really crappy if you didn't get the toilet hooked up right and got poop all over. (Ha ha ha)
When people give a reference they have to realize that any negative comment will be weighed very heavily, even if it's only made in passing. I'm sorry the job offer didn't come work out though.
"The TV is all too great of a babysitter" he says as he watches his youngest child gnaw on the power cord to the laptop. Yeah, I'm all there in the great dad club. At least I encourage Jamis to grunt often. He is a man's man already and he's not even 1 year yet.
