A Kaiya Update

So she will be eight weeks old tomorrow and she is growing. Her eyes are starting to lock on to things including us, it's so cool to see here staring at you. She is also starting to smile at us, it's so weird to see her grow before our eyes. Kaiya is also putting on some baby fat, and now as the picture shows you has found her thumb and is starting to suck it. More later and you can continue to go to photobucket for recent pics.

Mat Kearney concert

So I had the privilege to see Mat Kearney in concert last night with a few friends. Here is a pic. of Kearney in action. It was a great show, he and his band sounds great. He played most of his songs. We saw him in a little cafe/club in downtown San Fran. it was a small intimate venue and we were up close and personal. He comes across as a real humble guy and very personable. We had the opportunity to meet him after the show and he was a very nice guy and he made sure he had an opportunity to meet all of the people who were around. If you have a chance give his new album a listen entitled "nothing to lose". I had his album "bullet" as one of my favorite things a couple months ago. His latest re-releases about have of "bullet" and the other half are new songs.

Visit

So here is my friend Chris holding Kaiya, he visited us for the weekend. He was the first of our friends from back east to see her and he also had the privilege to spend Alana's first mothers day with us. By the way I hope all you mothers out there had a wonderful mother's day, I have much respect for mothers, especially after having a child.

This gas stinks

So I paid $3.11 for gas at Costco yesterday, and it is now officially ridiculous. Gas keeps prices getting higher and higher and the oil companies strangely get richer and richer. You know they are posting record profits, and our president just sits back and gives us a little lip service and some lame, no help four point plan to help us with our addiction to oil. By the way how can I be addicted if it is my only real option, just a question. You know what we need is a real joe as president, not some rich politician who owns some oil tycoon or some other lobbyist for their support and cash. We need a regular guy with a smart head on his shoulders, but if your not filthy rich or well connected you have no shot, which means we get the same old types running our country who have no idea how the average American lives his life. Any ways good luck with your gas mortgages.
