Recap
Most of last week, I have been working out in the field aiding a temporary tech. That would explain my lack of blogging. Now that I am back into my normal schedule, I can do a little bit of catch up.
Thursday, August 3 - Fiona and I finished up Ratzenberger Sinagpore Edition puzzle. We made a mad dash for the finish and probably didn't finish until almost 11:00pm. We'll probably glue it but we're not sure if we will hang it up or not. Now we have to find our next challenge.
Saturday, August 5 - We went on a preliminary scouting of new homes. Irvine is such an expensive area that it has prompted us to look at other financial options (i.e. moving, refinancing). Some times we just enjoy walking through the model homes on displays and at the same time we check out the existing area and what's around the new community. A few weeks ago we checked out Chino. I think we can rule out the new community homes out there. It was next to a couple of cow pastures, not to mention it was really close to a private airport. This past Saturday we check out some places bordering Riverside and Corona. New cluster homes built in not such a nice area. Following that we headed south to Canyon Hills in Lake Elsinore. I like the master planned communities and the area surrounding it is developing. It reminds me of Ladera Ranch. Good size homes and good prices. The only thing is it would triple my commute time to work.
Sunday, August 6 - Fiona and I finally took Vanessa out on a date. It was the first time that we have been out with just her. Last year we took Natalie out. We dropped Jadon and Natalie off at the grandparents' house and we went to a restaurant called French 75. Jadon cried because he wanted to come with us and I think Natalie was in bliss because she had grandma all to herself. Vanessa look perplexed when we were driving to the restaurant. She was looking over at the empty chair that her sister sits in. Evenutally she warmed up to the idea that it was just her though. She was lauging and giggling and just soaking up the attention that Fiona and I were giving her. She gave us her patented frown followed up by a big smile. Lately she has picked up this funny looking frown as if she is upset with you. She tricks you into thinking that there is something wrong which prompts us to ask "What's the matter?" Then her face just goes into a full on smile, as if she can't hold her little masquerade any longer. It is so dang cute. I can't help myself from imitating her. The food was good, service was not so good. The waitress was extremely slow (not with just us but with other patrons as well). Vanessa had her first taste of horse radish which was mixed in with the mashed potatoes. She had one of those looks that most babies have when they taste something that doesn't agree with their taste buds. Her nose turned red! She also had her first taste of brussel sprouts. She seemed to be fine with that, except at one point she was trying to wear the little outer leaflet covering as a hat. Towards the end she was acting like a silly drunk.
Monday, August 7 - Back to work and blogging away. A quick shout out to Pete, Happy 3x Birthday!
