I just filed a claim to replace my blackberry storm. I dropped my phone and cracked my screen about a week or so ago. The crack has spread just shy of the other side of the screen and I finally determined it was time to have it replaced. I'm also looking for a new case at this point, one that I can use all the time. I just bought a Seidio Innocase II so hopefully that will help this to never happen again!

It has been fixed but fixing it damaged something else. For shame. I feel that the "something else" is beyond repair.

I'm either going to delete or move acedanger.com. Any and all content from any social site under the username acedanger will be moved or deleted as well. You will not know the new domain, if there even is one.

It's too bad that this is happening. There is too much drama about this now and it's just best to stop it now. It's a shame, I'd rather not remove the information contained in this blog just because of a select number of people (that can be counted with one hand). I really like the name acedanger. I suppose this is for the best. I will sorely miss the name.

This is the final post here.

So the in-laws have come and gone, thank God! It wasn't a bad trip this time, just strange. Meri's mom didn't really say a whole lot, which was very nice IMO. Normally she's all over us about how we discipline Aaron (rules rules rules, so many rules...um, no, that's called structure).
Meri's dad was great, as usual. He and Aaron had a ton of fun playing together.

I did more house-work during the past 4 days that I normally do. I finally touched up all of the scrapes on the walls from moving in about a year ago, I patched holes in walls from the lights we replaced in both upstairs bathrooms, I even painted the pantry doors handles and doors that have been worn down from us opening and closing them so much, I even re-caulked the master bathroom shower!  It was a great couple of days for home maintenance.

Meri's truck is ready, after all of about 12 days. It wasn't supposed to be ready until April 17th. The dealership said they were "16 days ahead of schedule"! How the hell did that happen? We'll be very happy to drop off the rental car we have and pick up her truck. It's hard for me to go from driving a 2005 Tacoma four-door to a 2006 G5 coupe...especially on I-4 during two rush hours. Finally, I can feel [relatively] safe again...not to mention, I'll have a lot more room to put both boys in the vehicle I'm driving.

Eli had his first birthday yesterday!! He, uh, turned one! He got a small cake and a simple present. He will get more presents this weekend when we have a few people over to help us celebrate more.

The cake

The Eli

The touching...

The tasting...

The destruction...

The cake...has died.

This is the only present we gave Eli. Aaron picked it out for him. Meri's parents have a very similar toy at their house and Eli (and Aaron) really LOVE to play with it.

Aaron, Eli and I have had our fair share of ear problems within the past 6 months or so. Aaron has had it the "easiest", with the least amount of occurrences. I had quite a few rounds of problems. Eli had it the worst, as far as we could determine.

We finally went to see an ENT and it was decided that he should have tubes put in his ears. We had that procedure completed 2 days ago. The procedure lasted about 15-20min. The recovery time was minimal, maybe an hour. Eli was groggy most of the day, due to the anesthesia. That took about 10-12hrs to finally get out of his system. The tubes have already made a HUGE difference in our lives.

1. Eli has started playing on his own again whereas before, he would always cling to mommy. When we put him down, he quickly crawls to the playroom.


2. He hears better now too! He is starting to try to say new words (I got the first one - dada!)


3. The biggest improvement is that Eli is mostly sleeping through the night again! Over the past 2 nights since the procedure, he has woken up only once each night, at 4:40am Tues night/Wed morning and then at 3am Wed night/Thur morning. Over the past 6 months, he was waking up about 3-4 times a night, sometimes more!

I wish we would have had the procedure performed much earlier than we did! Eli was 10 months old when the tubes were put in, he is officially 11 months old today!
