Truckin...

I am going to continue with the once a week blogging schedule. This week was not horrible or great. I would say indifferent. (Minus the Bronco blowout playoff loss. Insert Tebow sucking joke here) Keira has been doing ok all things considered. I still sense some sadness from her daily and was even informed by her pre-k teacher that she hasn't been herself a lot of the time while at school. I was told she just seems bummed out a lot of the time. I have already noticed this at home so it wasn't that big of a surprise. I am just working with her daily to make sure it is nothing more than just missing Mommy and not a bigger issue. I have also been working vigorously to make sure she knows she is doing a great job staying strong and how proud of her I am.  We also have been trying to do fun stuff each weekend on top of her ice-skating and swimming lessons. Next weekend we have a birthday party to go too which she is super pumped about and in a few weeks we will be heading out to Spokane to visit my brother and his family. (Also something she talks about daily) We have been continuing to web-cam with Mommy almost every morning which is great. The only thing I feel like I am slacking on is making sure I have time to myself but I am working on it. Hoping I can find a sitter on a random night even if it's just to catch a movie with a buddy or something. I am also very grateful for the NHL. Hockey games are on daily and with the Avalanche being fairly consistently good, it helps me to have a break/keep my mind busy in the evenings after Keira goes to bed. It can be pretty lonely spending every single night by yourself. I have also been watching the show "Breaking Bad" on Netflix which is insanely addicting. If you guys haven't watched it, I would HIGHLY suggest it. I guess that is about all for now. Thanks for taking the time to chime into my boring life... Oh, and by the way, my wife Crystal was selected as Flight Commander Of The Year at work. I am so proud of her and everything that she does. Her work ethic is absolutely ridiculous. Feel free to congratulate her on her Facebook wall if you are "friends" with her.

2nd Blog. Round 2....

Hi friends.
           Sorry I haven't been keeping up as much as I wish but things are a bit hectic. For the most part things have been going ok. The 2 of us have been butting heads a little, but I am pretty sure its a combination of me being the only authority figure in the house and secondly Keira just dealing with not having a mommy around. I am trying very hard to be patient and sensitive while maintaining a position of authority. I have said this once and I will say it again. I really respect single parents. Especially those who take care of their kids solo for 18 years. 
           If you are friends with me on facebook (which I am sure you are) you may or may not have noticed that Keira has a black eye. She got it staying the night at a friends and I still for the life of me can't get an exact answer of how it happened. She is a tough kid and probably didn't want to stop playing. Then yesterday when Keira and I got home from pre-school, Keira opened her car door, climbed out and somehow slammed the door shut on her left middle and pointer finger. I was getting out on the opposite side of the car and I heard Keira screaming bloody murder. I ran over as fast as I could and found the door completely closed with her fingers lodged inside. LUCKILY there isn't anything broken however she may lose a nail or two. Fatter fingers would have been a problem. Tomorrow Keira begins ice skating lessons again and then tomorrow night we are going to the Circus. Keira is SOOOO excited for that. Then Sunday s swimming lessons followed by some Denver Bronco playoff football.  Anyway, hope all is well,
