Kind of quiet around here lately. Turns out this parenting thing is a lot of work.

Not much to report from the past week, really. Lisa’s mom was up for most of the week, and her dad dropped in a couple of times as well. It was good to get the support, although I can’t say I made much use of it. The house is still a disaster, although a few areas are finally becoming more functional in nature. My folks head up to Minneapolis next weekend. I look forward to introducing them to their grandson.

Mathias had his first big thunderstorm today. He slept through it.

I’m still behind on my email. Phone calls have been a problem since last Tuesday when my Treo developed a weird issue that has the unfortunate effect of rendering it both deaf and mute. Verizon is sending me a replacement, but until then I’m relying on text messages. I’d say I feel like a kid again, except we didn’t really have text messaging when I was a kid.

Crap I’m old.
