ABC 123, New Car, Roof And Birthdays
Posted on October 9, 2009 - Filed Under Life, Year Two
Alexander is learning his ABC song and doing a damn fine job of it. He can get through the entire song with a few mix ups, even gets the “next time wont you sing with me” part down.
Toni has been working on this with him when she has him, and I have been grilling him when he is with me. He will now sing it randomly on his own.
Alex is counting from 1 to 10 now on his own well. These are big milestones for a boy that will not turn three until October 23rd.

I am completing the purchase of a 2006 Infiniti M45 Sport this week. Drove the car last weekend and it felt so good. Hard to pass up on the deal as I am purchasing the car well under Blue Book value.
The car is loaded with everything a tech nerd like me could want and I cannot wait to pick it up this weekend.
The only thing I do not like is the color. It is gold. That is an old man color but I can live with that.

My roof is falling apart. Shingles have been sliding off the roof the last few years and each year someone comes out to repair. It is getting to the point where I will probably need to replace the roof on the house and I am not happy about it.
This is a 30 year roof, and it was placed on the house back in 2001. The contractor that did the work is no longer in business, and they had no idea what they were doing when the roof was placed. Pisses me off.
Now I get to have it repaired again in the next few weeks to the tune of $500. Ouch! At least it should last until I can get the money together to replace the entire roof.

We celebrate all three boys birthdays this weekend. Sean just turned 21, Travis will be 16 next week and Alex will be 3 on the 23rd.
This will be the first time both sides of our families will be together in one room since Toni and I split. I do not expect things to be ugly or anything as we have kept this civil, but I am sure it will be uncomfortable for some.
We bought Travis a new laptop for his birthday and I still need to pick something up for Alex. Sean will get money.
