Start them early

On Friday I took the day off for another rendition of "Man Day."  It was another fantastic day where Joshua and I started off with pancakes, then cruised the mall for a few hours, then went to one of our favorite restaurants for lunch. 

This picture was taken at the Ann Arbor Apple store.  As you can see Joshua felt right at home playing with the "Dr Seus" game.    Of course, being my son, he prefers Macs.

World Traveler

This will be a fast post because I can barely stay awake, but I feel I should update on the million things that have happened the last 2 weeks.

Man... the last few weeks have been a tornado. Two weekends ago we went to South Bend to attend Amanda's (Kerry's college roommate) wedding reception. It as a wonderful time, great dinner, and great weekend. Joshua enjoyed playing with the other kids and really enjoyed running around the College Football Hall of Fame. They had a full width, half length football field that he out-ran us all on it.

When we got back on Sunday I quickly had to repack and fly out for Zurich, Switzerland for work. It was a very productive trip, with lots of meetings and long hours. The 12 hour travel there and back was a little long but worth both the work achievements and just to see Switzerland. I won't go into all the differences between the U.S. and Europe except to say there are a lot of differences, many of which favor Europe. But after a week I was happy to get back on the plan and jet back to my family. I'm still amazed how much energy that trip took out of me when I got back, its been 5 days and I'm still recovering.

Check out flickr for some pictures of all the above.

Impulse buy

While waiting for our return flight back to Michigan at DFW Joshua and I went into a Dallas Cowboy's store. Joshua quickly reached out of the stroller and put on a pretty cool looking Cowboys hat on. Since I was pretty bummed about leaving Texas and was overcome with pride that my son was obviously choosing the Cowboy's over the Loins I bought the hat. This is now the most expensive hat I own.
