Funny Things

Well by now most of the events from my last post have happened. The Steelers won their 6th Super Bowl,Congress has set a new date for the DTV transition to June 12th, and Spring Training has begun in Florida & Arizona. Of course, there has been numerous other events that have taken place as well. President Obama & Congress passed the largest bill in the history of the United States in an attempt to "stimulate" the economy. While it has been a few weeks since its passage, little has actually gotten into the economy. We will see if it does any good.
On the home front, things continue to be pretty good. Cindy was hired by a basement improvement company to work part-time and it is a very good company as well. She also will be helping with the census for the United States towards the end of this month as well. As for Robbie. Well, lets say that each day brings something new & different from him. He has increased his vocabulary very well and continues to be a joy to have as our son! Just within the last few weeks, he has caught on to use words at the right time. Words such as "please" and "thank you" are coming out really well. Of course, there are times when Cindy or myself will give him something and he will respond "Thank you Robbie". While there are times we try to correct him in this area, the important thing is that he is saying the words. Last night while getting him ready to take his bath, Cindy had asked him if he had a "happy tummy"? Well, his response was "I have a happy tummy!". He looks very cute with his little belly sticking out after eating and there are times he likes to pat his tummy. It is very cute & funny. Also, Cindy has heard him chatting away in the mornings while waking up and upon opening the door one time, she caught him talking to his stuff animals in his crib. One of these times, we need to get a picture of this happening to share with you folks. I did ask him one morning recently if he was having a meeting with his friends and his response was "yea". Who knows, maybe one day he will be a leader! We shall see!
Well, spring training is underway and only a month until Opening day. The Tigers are looking pretty good so far and I can hardily wait for the season to start! Hopefully they will challenge for a playoff position this year and cause some rumblings. We will see!
Later!
