Things have been busy here lately. Kari has her hands full with the resident manager thing (She says that I need to use details so everyone knows how hard she has it). She vacuumed halls for approximately six hours, cleaned 63 fluorescent light covers, vacuumed 15 flights of stairs, and still managed to slave over TV dinners every night). She rented her first apartment today, so she has to go over tomorrow to clean the crud off the side of the stove before they move the stove back into the slot.

I’ve been busy working on some design projects for a software developer—making icons, web banners, splash graphics—stuff like that. I’ve also been busy working on some software myself which I hope to sell for millions and millions later on. It’s coming along slowly but surely (the software, not the millions—just in case you got the wrong impression).

Hank has been busy building another nest which we plan on tearing apart the first chance we get, throwing up in the shower (it’s a sign of affection—he’s in love with his perch. The less you know about that, the better). He’s also enjoying the larger roaming space. He did have a close call a week or so ago when he seemed to be choking on something (probably something he shouldn’t have been eating anyway). Birds sound pretty pathetic when they try talking with something in their throat: “P…etty …irdy. Wheeze, wheeze.”

Christian has been growing up—this means he can finally keep his pacifiers in his mouth by himself now. He likes to spend time on the floor next to daddy while he works on the computer. He also likes being tossed into the air (just a little bit; he’s only a little tyke). He’s also learned to roll over, and over, and over.
