Max has this new thing of crashing the walker into everything, and everyone. Andrew is no exception.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s been a busy week, hence slow posting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our Nanny Rachel unexpectedly needed some time off to deal with some personal issues so that thew our schedules out of whack a little. Because Brenda is working on a big project in the city for the next several months we wanted to be sure that her missing the time didn’t cause problems with our client, who has been very patient and understanding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We also both joined a local health club (again). It’s been years since either of us have belonged but I think it’s the right time for both of us. For Brenda it works out great because they actually have a babysitting service that allows you to work out for up to 2 hours, and it’s included in the membership price. For me I’ll get more use in the winter when it’s too cold to run outside. Right now I still prefer to getup early and run 3-4 days a week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Business is picking up and the fall could be very busy for us. It’s too early to tell, but from what our clients are saying there’s plenty of work coming down the road. We’re always the last stop for any project so we normally see others get busy before we do. The last few weeks have been slower then usual so we’ve used that time to get long needed things done around the office, as well as do some upgrades that will help us with the work load.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And finally, we’re making good progress launching our new business, TimeLine Creative<\/a>. We’re close to having the website done, a logo designed and business card created. I have a\u00a0commission\u00a0based sales person who is very\u00a0enthusiastic\u00a0and has a lot of leads already, and we are going to do a free video for somebody in the next month or so that will be used as our “Your Baby Story” video demo on the site. I have a very good feeling about this business, and the best part is it will take a lot less of my personal time once it’s up and running. It’s being designed from the ground up to NOT revolve around me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The boys are doing just great and they seem to be more fun each and every day. They’re just so full of personality and life I feel like I could spend all day sitting on the floor with them. They\u00a0genuinely\u00a0seem to get excited to see each other and I feel like they really enjoy seeing me when I get home now too. In the past they seemed to not really notice either way, but now they get all excited and start smiling. We’re hoping to get some updated photos soon of them, it’s just been very busy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So in a\u00a0nutshell, that’s what’s been going on. I hope to have some new photos up soon, and I have a few more video clips coming.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Have a great rest of the week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
