Don't hurt me Erin!

Erin says I don't blog enough. Rachel says even she's blogging more than me. *sigh* Erin threatened me with severe beating, mentioned a whip, but thought it was too kinky. So, here is a blog to catch up on about 2 months of activity.

My mother-in-law came out for a week. Overall it was a pleasant experience. Truth be told, I actually didn't mind having her out here. She helped around the house and watched Ezra one night so Allison and I could go out for a movie. It was very nice.

Last weekend was my 10-year High School reunion. I had a great time. I think the best times for me were just hanging out with Kenny, Erin, Rachel, Matt and all them folks and just shooting the breeze or playing a game. Even Kenny beat me on almost every Wii game we played. The reunion itself was, smaller than I had hoped. It just felt like all the "popular" kids were the ones there. I did get to reconnect with a couple of old friends and look forward to trying to keep in better touch with them in the future.

After the reunion we drove up to Spokane to visit my cousin Trevor. He recently had a little boy, Andrew, who was 9lb 4 oz. Allison kept exclaiming about how Ezra was never that small. Or at least not that she could remember. It was good to see him again, watch a movie, have dinner and meet all of his kids.

The actual trip was not too bad. Ezra did really well for long periods in the car. He slept sometimes, played with his little padded book sometimes, or just looked out the window. He didn't really cry at all during the trip that I can recall. He saved that for at night while we were not at home. As soon he got home, he went out like a light and stayed out ALL night.

As usual, I have pictures. I'm actually going to leave you with two slideshows below. One is old pictures of Ezra for everyone to catch up on, and another is for pictures that we took from our trip to the Tri-Cities and Spokane. Enjoy!
