Still another 6 weeks to go!


Is it just me or this pregnancy taking forever?!?! I guess I should ask my wife that. Laura just had her check-up with the doctor and everything with baby Jacqueline is moving right along. I personally don't see her staying in another 6 weeks, but we will see. Laura has come down with a nasty cold and has been gracious enough to share it with me. We are just trying to keep Delainey from getting it.

Delainey had her first soccer game a couple of weeks ago and it was a pretty good time. Her team is the Greyhounds and she was given jersey #2 to wear. It was funny to see a clump of 3 year olds chasing a ball around and trying to kick it in the tiny net. Delainey didn't last the whole game, but we are told this is normal. She was more interested in running down the field with her friend Kadin and holding his hand. Last week the weather was to nasty to play soccer, but she should be back out there again this weekend.

We are STILL getting settled into the new house and it is getting there. We just need to win the lottery to make all the changes we want. The good news is that the crib is up and ready to be used! We went to a dinner/fundraiser for our church's youth group this past weekend and had a good time. Delainey loved dancing with the bigger kids and she won a stuffed animal as big as her. I was able to catch up with Brian and Nicole Cendrowski and that was a good time. It was just like being back in high school and college. Laura just got a kick out of spending money on the silent auction. Oh well, it was for a good cause.

Don't forget this Saturday is the 1st ever Jack D. Oliver, Sr. Memorial Blood Drive. It is from 9am-2pm at Transfiguration Catholic Church in Blythewood. Please join us if you can!

Little Ms. Soccer



So February has been pretty good to the Columbia family so far. Laura is still busy unpacking in the house and deciding how she wants things. All this while purculating baby Jacqueline. Delainey is busy playing in her new yard and getting used to her new surroundings. She loves her new pink bedroom and is very excited about starting soccer in a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, I have been off to Las Vegas squandering the family fortune and being amazed by magicians after I have had a few drinks. It was all for work, I promise!

By the way, Laura and I just celebrated our 5th wedding anniv! We were finally able to celebrate with a date to the movies on Sunday to see Fools Gold. Not bad, but more of a chick flick.
By the way, we are having a blood drive in memory of Dad on March 1st. Let me know if you are interested in donating!
