Lots going on lately.
Had a great time a few weekends ago at Hobber’s bachelor party. It was great to see a lot of guys (including the groom) that I hadn’t seen in quite a while… too long, actually. The festivities included me improving to 2-0 on the year for Brewers games.
Matt Palmer’s bday (the early edition) was celebrated with a trip to Samba. I had heard from a few people that the “Brazilian Steakhouse” was an incredible experience for the true meateater and it lived up to expectations. Course after course of delicious meat. They actually do have an excellent salad (etc) bar as well but… I would advice any vegetarians to steer clear.
The next weekend was Woelfel’s bachelor party. Good to catch up with the Milwaukee crew. If my current career doesn’t pan out, I may have found my true calling.
Our condo is on the market – has been for a bit more than a month at this point. We had some interest right off the bat but couldn’t quite agree on the details. Word on the street is that we may have another nibble on the line but we’ll see how things go. We’re having an open house this weekend so stop by and give us some numbers!
Howie (our ~2 year old golden retriever) seems to have epilepsy. It’s obviously a scary thing but his seizures have been pretty mild and we have him on some meds now that we’re hoping will prevent them. He hasn’t had any episodes since we started the meds but his first 2 episodes were more than a month apart so it’s hard to tell if the drug is working or if we just are in a normal interim period. Hopefully it’s the former. Here he is with his sister:
JNo and I went and saw The New Pornographers w/ Okkervill River. I could have sworn that I posted about that show but I just looked and… apparently I had “saved” it but not “published”. So, to remedy the situation I just boarded my time machine and traveled to the past where I posted it back on 4/22. A little lost? … me too.
Nate was just in town and got to see Henry.
Coming up this week:
We’re meeting up with some friends we haven’t seen in a while (Liz & Chris) to compare babies (their daughter Gabby is one already!). We’re going to the Josh Ritter show on Wednesday. The Almaers are in town on Wednesday through the weekend, so we’ll get to meet up with them (and see their son Sam!). We’ll be headed up to King, WI for a Halberg gathering next Sunday – Henry will (likely) get to meet some relatives that he hasn’t met yet and he’ll get to see his GG Halberg again.
And next week: Claire, Sheila, and Mike are in town! It’s been WAY too long since we saw them and we’re really looking forward to catching up a bit. The Woelfel wedding (at the HeidelHouse) is next weekend as well and last but not least: Brat Fest Part I.
Henry rolled over today unassisted! First time! It’s really amazing how quickly he progresses from milestone to milestone.
Henry! How exciting!
Rolling over is the first step toward cruisin’ with your buddies all over town. And terrifying your mother while she waits up for you. And your father having to go out and look for you just to keep your mother calm. And saying, “What??” when you get home to your parent’s interrogation. And telling your grandparents how unfair your parents are. And us telling you that we know they are cruel and we don’t understand why you have a curfew and why they don’t buy you a car.
Congratulations!
