Construction

So, here I sit once again, making the promise to update this blog more often. A small amount of motivation has come from the overwhelming number of posts that Cory has been uploading, even if very little has to do with information that any of us care about (aside from the sicknesses - hope you are feeling better Nardine, and the report card - well done little Dylan).

Tracy is doing well, and the baby is definitely growing. Aside from the constant feeling of being fat ("No Tracy, you're pregnant.") and a sore back, things are going really well. That being said, talk to her at the beginning of April, when I'm gone, our house goes up for sale, she's taking care of Dominic, and the builder is asking her shat shade of taupe the walls are supposed to be and the answer might be something completely different.

Dominic is doing well, but I think he is hitting the "terrible twos" a little early. He is very insistent that stuff is "mine", and wants to do everything on his own. Including walk/fall down the steps in front of our house last Thursday resulting in some scrapes on his face. Dom is considering being a contractor, and has asked that I update his resume with the following pictures of him inspecting our new house; I feel sorry for whoever left the empty tube of adhesive lying around, they are in for an earful.

Quick update on what is going on with me. In less about 1 week I am going to be boarding a plane bound for Europe. Stopping first in London, then continuing on to Athens for an educational tour with students. Notice educational is not in quotation marks, because we are under strict orders from the School Board to abstain from any type of alcoholic beverages. Now, going to Greece and not drinking Zambucca is bad enough, but we will continue into Italy where we are also not allowed to sample the wine. I'm a little up set about that one, but I'm sure it will be made up for at some point in my life. Nice thing is that the school is footing the bill so that I can scout out all the great spots for when Tracy, Dom, Jr., and I all go back.
