Hello. After work tonight, Rachel found (i think Mommy gave her) some pan lids. She was walking around banging them, so i grabbed my iPhone and grabbed a good video spot (on the couch), and here it is. My camera work got shaky towards the end and i apologize for my finger getting on the screen. Hope you enjoy.

Hello. Rachel is feeling much better and Lisa is on her way. Lisa still does not feel the greatest but she is better than she was this weekend. I am surprised that I did not catch the bug because i am usually susceptible.
I have sold me old iphone 3G on ebay this week. I actually sold it for more than i paid for the 3GS and after paying the fees (ebay, paypal, shipping), i actually made about $15. So I would have to say it was a great upgrade for me. If you are curious as to why the older phone is more worth more, it is because you can take the phone and use it with any carrier and not have to have a 2-year service commitment. With my new phone, i paid $299 for it but had to commit to a 2 year service plan and had to use AT&T. The person who bought my phone now can take the phone and use Sprint or Virgin or whomever they want and not be locked in for two years. For some reason (thanks AT&T) my phone was eligible to be ugraded but Lisa's upgrade would have been $499 and we decided that even though we could recoup alot of that selling her old phone, it was not worth upgrading yet.
My work is going fine. Sales are down but it could always be worse. We could be trying to sell construction material in Detroit. I truly do feel for you peeps back in the heartland. Lisa has some potential changes happening at her work and we are keeping our fingers crossed about that.
Tonight before bed, Rachel was in a very playful mood and here is another video of her dancing. I tried to get her at floor level and i think it turned out cute. I promise i will start using the iphone video for better things than Yo Gabba Gabba dancing, just not yet.

Today is our 12th wedding anniversary. Time flies by when you are having fun. My two girls have been sick all weekend and it has been a very quiet holiday.
Friday evening started with a trip to the emergency room. Rachel woke up Friday around 2:00am crying and was hot to the touch. She had a fever around 101 and Lisa gave her some stuff (either children's Motrin or Tylenol - just not sure which). All day Friday she was warm but pretty much acting like herself. But before bed she was not acting herself and Lisa took her temperature again (with a head scanner). It said 103 and we debated taking her to the doctor. I suggested she try the forehead thermometer again and it then read 105. So we decided to do the emergency room right then! Of course, once we get there and check in, Rachel runs to the toys and is dancing and playing and flirting with a 3-year old boy who was there playing. They take her temperature rectally and it comes back roughly 101.5. The test her for flu and strep and the doctor finds blisters in her throat. She is diagnosed with foot, hand, mouth disease and we are sent home. We are told to alternate between Tylenol and Motrin for the next few days and keep an eye on the fever.
Lisa woke up Friday with a sore throat and has been sick and achy all weekend. So my two girls have just not been doing so well. I have tried to do my best but there is only so much when Rachel keeps waking up in the night crying and not wanting anything to do with Daddy.
The doctor weighed Rachel and she was 20-pounds 4-ounces. So she has broken the 20-pound barrier.
Here is another iPhone video i took of Rachel tonight watching her Yo Gabba Gabba show before bed. She is still not completely herself, so there is not as much wiggling and dancing as normal but there is enough...

Hello everybody. We are doing fine here in Virginia. We are looking forward to the long weekend coming up. Work has been rough for both of us but at least we both have jobs...So we are thankful for that. I upgraded my old iphone yesterday to the new 3GS mostly because a coworker showed me how great it shot videos. Here is the first of many Rachel videos taken from my new iphone. It is of Rachel dancing and clapping during the map song on Dora the Explorer. Enjoy.
