I keep doing a good job thinking I will update more than I do, but as many of you can tell, I don't. Shouldn't 80 hour a week jobs be more of a thing when you are in your 20's and have the energy for it? Yesterday alone, I had to get up at 7 at the hotel, be at our show in Orlando, at 8:30, work the show until 5, tear down to almost 6:00, and then drive eight hours home and get home at just before 2:00 A.M., completing about a 18 hour day. I am getting way to old for this. Anyways, enough bitching for tonight, here is our last couple week update. As many of you might have heard, we had a nice spell of tornadoes a few weeks ago, of which the Friday night socked downtown Atlanta pretty well. While lucky enough to miss those, the next day on Saturday we had tornado warning after tornado warning with most of family in basement and Dad nervously watching the TV upstairs. While no tornado hit, we did get some of the biggest hail I have ever been through. We have attached pictures for proof, that was not fun watching that hit the house I can assure you.
Secondly, T-Ball has started again. While last year Brendan could hit the ball well, everything else was a complete disaster. Now, all of a sudden, he has become a pretty decent fielder, throws much better (although still some work to do) and is running the bases awesomely, he is probably just about the fastest kid on his team (lack of weight thing I guess), but all of a sudden he couldn't hit the ball again. After a couple of practices and the first game of watching him hit the tee and trying everything we could think of, Dad resorted to outright bribery. (I'm not beneath that by the way). So Dad promised Brendan a train from the Thomas collection if he could hit it by the pitcher. So the first practice he ripped it to the outfield. Just to be contrarian and to bug Brendan, since I was out of town, I told him he had to do it in the game. First at bat, he rips it to left field. Second at bat, knocks it 15 ft. in the air to the pitcher, (first time ever hitting it that high in the air), thus showing the power of train bribery. Needless to say while standing on 3rd base (see picture) Brenadan was confirming there would be a visit to Toys R Us after the game. He is definitely going to be a politician or lawyer with his negotiating skills already. We also put on some pictures from pre-school. 
So at this point, Dad is home alone, Brendan and Mom are in Wisconsin and Brendan had his first plane ride, which he just loved. Grandma has been making him cookies and all kinds of home made foods, so Brendan is in heaven, (you can only take Mom's microwave cooking for so long you know). Also, Mom and Grandma took Brendan shopping for more trains today (why he needs more than a hundred is beyond me). So Dad is enjoying his messy house (that will change by Monday for fear of my life), and not having to get up until noon and eating when he wants (instead of OCD wife's time frame), but the house is way to quite and lonely and I am looking forward to getting them back Monday. That's all the updates for now, we will try and get some Wisconsin pictures on the next update if I can get off my backside before May and get an update on here more than once a month. Later.
