Another Phase in Life

Sunday, November 16, 2008

As you can see Simon is on the move again. This has caused me to reflect on everything going on in our lives right now. We are entering a new phase of life which is marked by the following:

1. Simon is almost 1 year old and walking.
2. Its been a little more than a year that I've been 100% self-employed.
3. A new James Bond movie is in theaters.
4. 2 years in this house
5. A new president
6. I've re-listened to all the Harry Potter books

Ami Likes Cough Drops

Monday, November 3, 2008

Two nights ago I was struggling with a sleepless night. We have been passing around the "cold" in our house the last week. Well I had it and was unable to sleep. After an hour or so I decided to get a cough drop. I opened my night stand where there is a bag of cough drops and began to try to pry open the ziplock type seal on the bag to get to the drops. It caused a little noise and out of nowhere Ami began hitting me in the side quite forcefully.

I wasn't that stunned since she often hits me during the night in order to get me to stop snoring or stop breathing into her face. However this time she was hitting much harder than normal and wasn't letting up. I said:

"I'm just getting a cough drop."

Ami said, "Oh, Can I have one?"

I said, "Sure."

I gave her one and she went back to sleep. She doesn't remember this at all but says that around 5am she woke up and couldn't remember why she had a cough drop in her mouth.
