Uh-Oh...

Ethan playing with Leann up at Uncle Jamie's house. He kept dropping the stacking cups and saying Uh-Oh!

Peek-A-Boo Bath time...

Ethan saw his reflection in the overflow drain and couldn't help but get a game of Peek-A-Boo going!

Not sure what this actually is (I mean the material that he made his art from)... it might be mud. Either way, he's loving the new day care... we like them a lot too!

Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

Ethan loves the arrowroot cookies...he tries to munch the whole
thing. He also loves the book "who stole the cookie from the cookie
jar?". He tries to guess who stole it all the time and he usually says
"dada", which is the one that stole it.

Uh oh...

Check out Ethan's feet! He climbed up there so he could push the
button better!

Playing with Ethan!

He and I are playing on the floor after work!

Ethan was lounging on Aunt Kim's lap when he passed out... he had been fighting his nap all morning.... and couldn't resist passing out in the comfort of Kim's lap!

On my phone! My first "published" iPhone artwork!

Long week, and weekend!

So, it's been a long 7 days for the Cork family.  We're just now starting to feel better.  Leann is getting back into health, as am I, and the munchkin too! Ethan has been a bit feverish and drooly the last couple of nights so we think he is teething and getting in his top chompers.  He finally stopped having his super runny nose today and he and I made a trip to CostCo together and gave mom a chance to get some much needed rest.  All in all we had a good weekend that was rooted in rest and getting healthy.  Many a naps were taken and Ethan got to sleep in our bed because he wasn't feeling well. Not a lot of pictures lately because we haven't been feeling well.  We are excited to get into this next week and away from being so sick!  Leann and I both signed up for our new Stickk.com challenge... mine is around exercise and eating right and Leann's is around losing weight.  We actually started last week... thank goodness for that "if we are sick" clause or else we'd be out some money :) 

I also resigned from my position on the Laveen Association of HOAs this week... after talking to family and friends and my doctor I decided I needed to drop some stuff from my plate and started with those duties as they made the most sense.  I also got some encouragement from my boss at work that I was doing well there which helps to alleviate the stress.   I'm going to try to start making more time for Exercise and a healthy lifestyle that we started ~15 weeks ago with our last Stickk.com challenge.  Last time Leann and I both lost about 20 pounds each and we are hoping to do that again over the next 8 - 12 weeks!  My plan right now is to add swimming to my weekly routine and to really focus on not cheating on the diet.  I've also decided to try to regulate my schedule a bit more with a daily wake up time regardless of if I'm doing weight lifting or cardio (in the past I've woke up later on cardio days because it takes less time).  I'm also hoping to start a big new project... I've purchased a domain name that I'd like to start a health and fitness community under.  The domain is www.iUpgrade.me but there really isn't anything there right now but I'm hoping to build a community website around health and fitness and allow people to focus on the social aspects of getting health and fit as well.  We'll see how that goes... just one more project in the cooker! :)  Anywho, this is turning into a long post so I'll leave it at that.  Catch up with you next time!

Here's Ethan riding his horsey for the first time! Grandpa Jim and Grandma D got him this horsey and he loves it!!! Also check out the yellow "D" in his hands... that a sponge letter for the bath that he didn't want to let go of after the bath today. He would even put that letter in his mouth so he could still zoom around on all fours! Pretty cool stuff. Thanks Pops and Diana!

Posting using a new tool!

I'm using something called "ScribeFire" for firefox. It's an add-on for FireFox that lets me blog from right inside firefox. Not sure how I like it yet... I'll let you know.

Hmm.... it's hard to insert pictures... FTP took forever... and never actually finished. API insert of an image required me to change my API with blogger... but I have no idea how to do that. Looks like I'll be using a linked image from flickr.

I can do some stuff with text:

I can quote text.

Not sure how I stop quoting, but I can emphasize text.

I can insert a special charicter: ®

I can make the text bigger. Oh, I just realized I'm still in "emphasized mode".

I can strike out text....

hmm.. still not at regular font size am i? Now I am?

Interesting... afer posting this as a preview I noticed that it isn't taking my carrige returns??

I'm not sure I'll be using this tool for blogging. Sorry ScribFire.... cool concept...probably works better with other blog providers... but I"m not feeling this.
