January is almost in the books

well january is almost over.  Hard to believe that we are already one month down.  We celebrated Burns night on friday.  It was a very fun night ( except for the few nerves before giving the toast to the lassies).  I got to try 2 new scotches that I have never had before.  McCullum and Oban and I would recommend them to any single malt lover.  Sarah did great with her speech to the lads.  We all looked great in our plaid.  Sarah made Madigan a cute little skirt out of the left over scrap she used to make my kilt and her skirt.  This week I am working on completing 2 more of my 101 list items.  They are to be in bed before midnight and not play the xbox for a week.  It has only been one day but it is going fine so far.  I am also going to start helping out with a little kids wrestling team.  It is in Axtell which is a small town just south of Kearney.  I am excited to get back into wrestling.  I hope that it will be a lot of fun and hopefully there will not be to many criers.  
Madigan is getting so big.  She has a doc appointment on friday for her 6-7 month check up.  We are going to ask about when we can start meat.  By the way if you haven't seen the meat in the baby food jars I suggest you don't look.  Better yet make a game of it and try and guess which meat it is.  They all look the same, the beef is the same color as the turkey, ham, chicken.  I have tasted all of the other foods we have given her so far and they all taste similar to what is says but i am nervous about trying the meat.  If you are ever so lucky to see the meat in the jar you should look around and find the little sausages in the jar of fluid.  I call it fluid because I am not sure what it really is.  Those things make me throw up in my mouth every time I see them but I still have to look every time.  Who would bother feeding their kids those.  Why not just cook them a hot dog it looks like it would be healthier.  Anyways Madigan got a jumperoo and loves it.  She goes crazy in it jumping all over the place.  Once she figures out she can move around Sarah and I are going to be in for a lot of trouble.  I get the feeling she will be all over the place and getting into everything.  
I will have to post again at the end of the week when i finish my 2 items and have some more to say. So until then have a good week and don't waste all of your time reading my blog.

A New Year

So it is the start to a new year.  I hope everyone had a good holidays.  Madigan is eating baby food now.  So far she has eaten the green beans and sweat peas.  The oatmeal cereal still seems to be her favorite.  Madigan seems to be enjoying the new foods.  Of course since it is a new year Sarah and I are starting a diet again to shed some of those unwanted and hey maybe it will help me achieve one of my items on my list.  To help with our diet and exercise plan we purchased a wii fit.  Getting our hands on one was an adventure in itself.  We had to call the stores around Kearney everyday to see if they had gotten any in on the trucks that day.  I am pretty sure that the employees of the electronics departments got tired of us hanging around and asking everyday.  Hey but the upside was that I now know the days that the new inventory will be in for future items that we might want.  I will let you know if the wii fit helps us with our diet.  If nothing else it is a lot of fun to play.  It is my turn up on the wii fit so until next week happy blogging.
