Facebook and Twitter

I was the one who said, "I will never do Facebook" and "Twitter is a waste of time". In the last few months I have found these two social networks to be very easy to update and to follow. With mobile capabilities making easy tasks of taking photos then uploading them to the site, how could you resist. Twitter is a beast of its own! Fast updates and even faster answers to questions I may have. If you are in Chicago and want to know where's a good place to eat? Twitter can help.
I know it is the time we are in and information is at our fingertips with our cellphones and other gadgets, but when I look at Simon and his amazement for the little things (clapping or a game of Peeka-Boo) I realize the technologies we have now are no more cutting edge than the old bag phone I had in the 90's.
This is the first time Simon has stood on his own while holding onto something.

MIA, back for an update on Simon.



Simon is doing well. We took a brake from swim class and the heat has been unbearable for the little one last week. This week we started our swimming class up again along with our weekly/ daily park days. Today we went to Sequiota park for a run and some lounging around. Simon did great in the B.O.B. and I was able to run for 5 miles with no meltdown. This is a big accomplishment for anyone who knows how Simon loathes the B.O.B. After our run Simon chilled with a cold one (Nutramigen) and I finished a half gallon of water. Everything is going great and Simon is a joy to spend time with. I will realy miss this time when school starts. I have 6 more weeks left and I will spend as much of that with him as I can.
