today is our son's 1 month birthday. seems like yesterday our first was born, and now there are three of 'em. soon, he'll be walking around and getting into fights with the "girls". poor guy; he's outnumbered. the girls are going to probably have him as their slave/servant. maybe, just maybe we'll have another one and it will be another son. almost have to so he can have a chance of sanity.

speaking of family, everyone but me is sick. started out with b having a cough and now erin has been getting the brunt of the illness. so erin could rest, i kept b and h busy last night by playing some of my "old favorite" games with them. dig dug (probably one of the best games ever), pac-man, galaxian, pong and atari carnival, just to name a few. it's funny, because i grew up on the atari 2800 (before the first nintendo was out) and now my daughters love playing these games. i suppose when they get older, i'm going to have to break down and let erin know that we have to get a gaming system for the kiddies....

"seriously erin, it's for them, not me."
