Groundhog Day Update

Sometimes life feels like the movie Groundhog Day! The same cycle of events, same frustrations, same highs, and the same lows. Get up, eat breakfast, run errands, eat lunch, go to work, come home, sleep, do it again! Along with days seeming the same, I'm at fault most of the time. I'm such a routine person! For example, when I go to a restaurant I always seem to get the same thing even though I'll sit and look at the menu for 20 minutes. I'll ask the waiter questions about the menu, even get suggestions, then still order what I knew I was going to in the first place.



The only thing that seems to denote time is seeing Laynie & Peyton grow and get brains of their own. Laynie is so funny these days. The other day she told me, "Dad, that's a hoopdee!" She loves learning and loves to write her letters. I'll just write down some words and she will copy them and ask what each one means. Laynie will be starting school this year after her 5th Birthday in May. As for Peyton he is just as funny! He's a little sensitive and cries very easy, but also gets pretty angry sometimes. He likes to battle Laynie all day and take all the toys she is playing with. He loves to eat and can really put it down just like his daddy. He does have the Sims tastebuds which are just as sensitive (P&B and J, oranges, chocolate milk, donuts). He will be turning 2 next month in April. Potty training has started, which is the biggest task to accomplish. He will sit and do a pee, but poops, they can't seem to make it there yet.


Mandy and I have been together now for over 8 years. I love my wife to death! She helps me so much and I love her more and more everyday. It seems like yesterday that we were married. She helps and supports me and our family in so many ways. She just celebrated her 28th birthday. We had some cupcakes, played some Rockband, and had a great time hanging out with family.

Although much of the days blend together, its the little moments that suprise and help you realize a few new things. Like in the movie Groundhog Day, if you get it right it will all be worth it!
