Timothy's 1st CMS
Good morning! Even though I feel asleep watching television last night, once I got up to get formally ready for bed, I had a rough night sleeping. I had weird dreams and an hour or two of trying to fall back asleep. Alas, now it is time to get up and get to 7am Mass. Claire and Timothy are altar servers and I'm lectoring.
Back from 7am Mass. Claire let Timothy take on more responsibility in altar serving. Afterwards we all went out for breakfast at DFE. Claire and Abby saw some friends of theirs, freshmen temporarily home from college and were happy to talk with them. We dropped Claire off at Subway where she has the opening shift.
Caught up on some sleep I missed last night. Then went with Michelle to Rite Aid to get some Colace. These past ten days or so Michelle has been swinging between Senna and Immodium. Nurse recommended today we avoid Senna and just use Colace to stop the extreme swings.
Video: Caught this last night and found it interesting: CERN physicists explain what would happen if you put your hand in the Large Hadron Collider's beam. The main beam has the energy of a aircraft carrier concentrated into a millimeter wide beam, but there's a bunch of energy in the periphery too.
Could solid state drives (SSDs) finally be getting into the affordable range?? Maybe so. I've been debating putting on in my MacBook for the past year.
A good friend from our parish stopped by while Michelle and Abby were trying a new juice blend of carrot, apple, and celery. It was my favorite juice blend that they've made so far. Afterwards I took Abby and the boys to Keyes Field for a while.
Back from the park at Keyes Field. Abby hung out with her friend Julia. The twins enjoyed the jungle gym. Timothy and I shot hoops. We brought Abby's friend back with us. I uploaded the pictures from this album and ordered prints. I'll probably pick them up when it's time to get Claire from Subway.
Timothy and I went to pick up Claire. Then the three of us got a couple of small smoothies at DFE. We drove over to pick up the photos from Walgreens. I think this is the last of our Florida photos. They turned out well and I'm sure Abby will enjoy putting them in our bound albums. Michelle has fired up the wood grill for tonight's chicken dinner.
This afternoon when we haven't been outside, I've been helping Timothy setup a MySQL database on his laptop and setup WordPress. My little Timothy and his first Content Management System (CMS). «sniff» It makes a geek proud.
Michelle made a rockin' dinner: chicken and steak from the grill, baked potatoes and cottage cheese, pasta, fresh strawberries, and sugar snap peas. Too bad the boys can hardly appreciate it. I'm sure in a few years they will.
I dropped Claire and two of her friends off at Confirmation class. They are getting near the end. I think that they only have one more.
After dinner the kids played a few rounds of Just Dance 3. Tim also made great progress playing with WordPress. Then the kids and I watched the season premieres of the Disney comedy Good Luck Charlie. Disney hadn't had a new episode since Thanksgiving time last year, so the kids were eager to see it resume. Afterwards I tucked the boys into bed with their prayers. Good night all!
