Like thing #1, which should maybe be labeled #3, is that another child/parasite is growing inside me. Yup, we have a little girl coming in October. I'm about six months along, and other than the pretty dang debilitating pneumonia I had for a couple weeks in early April, everything has gone very well. I think we are ready for our family to grow one more, though I will not be surprised if I have a short and intense crying fest to mourn the loss of our current family unit on the way to the hospital. Just because I really like those kids. The new one is nameless, which is fine, but I feel like we start this naming thing later every time. We might just have to go with the nurse's name in the hospital or something. Poor kid, we do very much want you. I think you might just complete us.
Thing #2 is I guess what the heck I do with my copious spare time (aka 9-11 pm). I had been basically googling for a living, but I eventually got canned for not thinking enough like all the other googlers. It's an okay gig if you can get it and stick to it. Not incredible pay, but somewhat steady if you are just trying to make up a small income deficit. I worked with a company called Leapforce. Anyhow I have now started something completely new that may or may not pay anything. I am attempting to write things. Like articles. For the internet. I just wrote an article about gardening tonight, because you see
Thing #3 is we have a garden in our back yard. It has required a lot from us up front, but less recently. The yield has been lackluster so far, but still there is something magical about washing your own dirt off your own lettuce. We have two very pretty sunflowers blooming right now and some tomatoes ripening, so that's something. But anyway I figured I'd try to recoup some of our investment by writing an article. I'm not even near to approaching trying to be an expert on the subject, but I have learned a lot and figured I may as well spew all of that out in written form, which ended up being a 20-point annotated checklist.
A kid update probably deserves its own post, but how about just one adorable picture?

That is an adorable picture. And congrats on all three things, but especially the new baby girl one.
May I suggest my name. I mean I've been your friend awhile and all :).
