So as Brie said we got a new laptop mainly to help Sebastian and I with his school work, but we made sure it was decked out so it could perform as a second full computer. We upgraded to a bigger hard drive and the Nvidia 7900 Go video card. It has a gorgeous 17" widescreen monitor. It so great that after a few days of using it I found going back to my standard definition CRT on the main computer with it's max resolution of 1024x768 was not acceptable so I ordered os a 19" widescreen LCD monitor from Dell it should arrive this week.
Friday night we had our first potluck party with some of the other families we are friends with through Madeline. The thing I like the most is we all get together and our kids are involved. Brie drank a little too much (Cape Cods) and paid the price for it. We had such a great time, all the other families are so nice and fun to be around. Our next one is July 7th and this one is in walking distance, all the families live within a mile of us so that makes it even better.
Hannah Bannana is working out so well, we only have two real issues right now. First of all, she did not come house trained, she came pad trained so she knows to use those pet pads and because she is actually trained on those potty training has been nearly impossible. Secondly, although her and Brody play a lot with each other she is stll very wary of Jack when it comes to playing. I don't blame her, she is smaller than Brody (we are talking really small) and she is a Dachsund so not built for hard play. She does like Jack she just walks away any time he tries to play with her.
Besides the potlucks and end of school year activities I have for Maddy ( a picnic and a field trip among them) we also are needing to take a trip to Fresno so we are pretty busy for the next month or so. After that I'll have 1 month without the kids is school and I am so looking forward to that.
I did go to the dentist a week ago and the tooth I had a root canal on 17 years ago is finally so brittle that I have to have it removed by an oral surgeon. Then I need to be fitted for two bridges, one to replace that tooth and another to replace the tooth I am missing on the other side from before I had my braces.
With my 40 coming up I also need to get down and have a full physical it's been 7 years so it's time.
As far as my 40th right now the plan is Las Vegas. A couple other couples we know are interested. Nothing fancy or crazy, just a few couples catching a show, playing some blackjack and enjoying time together. Not sure how it will pan out though so we'll see.
