Fun packed weekend

We took Carson to the Children’s Museum to see the Haunted House and visit the new robots exhibit… we had a great time.

Football updates:
Nebraska… *deep heavy sigh* They had the game in their hands and they let it slip away.
The Indy Colts did pretty much the opposite, they were locked down in the 1rst quarter but came back strong to defeat Carolina.

From the desk of Dilbert…

This was a hilarious Dilbert strip from last week that I wanted to put up for Friday Funnies, but I just didn’t get the chance too… so here it is today instead. Please click the image to take you to the Dilbert site so that Scott Adams gets the web traffic he so richly deserves for being the creator of one of the greatest comic strips ever.

From the Haffey’s Links department:

We’ll close with an awesome Will It Blend? episode.. featuring the one and only Chuck Norris.

Family in town…

Grandpa Rich and Uncle James were in town last week to welcome Sam to the family and spend some quality time with Carson. I snapped a few photos:

Grandma Shirl is in town this week and I copied off the pictures from their camera from last week’s visit… if she takes some more pictures while she’s here I’ll put them in this same album.

Carson on TV…

We always watch morning news while getting ready for work; the other morning we noticed a commercial for Jenni’s work. It had a bunch of photos from the renaming ceremony that Carson was at… that’s when we saw the pictures of Carson. He’s in the commercial three times (twice facing the camera, once is the back of his head)… I emailed the nice people at St. Vincent’s and they sent me the commercial so I could share it with family and friends that don’t get the local commercials.

Number one hundred forty…

Greetings… with training last week and the arrival of our baby quickly approaching I haven’t had a ton of blog time. So let me take advantage of this five minute lull to dump some stuff out here.

LIFE CHANGING TIPS AND TRICKS!!!!
Hey, I know it’s been awhile but never fear I have a good one today… especially for you home owners out there. How to burglarproof your doors. I know I am going to be doing a couple of the suggested things in there, I had been thinking of a moat and drawbridge but maybe just some improvements to the doors would be a cheaper route.

Finally we close with a story about health… Eye doctors warn that prolonged computer use can have ill effects, SO STOP READING THIS BEFORE YOU GO BLIND!

Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital


There was a press release today from Jenni’s work… Carson and I were invited to come and help out. Carson got to stand at the head of the line (with his back to the TV cameras) and give Peyton (and the other big wigs) high fives on their way to the stage and then got front row seats to the news release. I took some pictures, I’m hoping Dr. Ronda and her husband Bruce got some good ones that I can put in my album as well.

And since I’ve already been asked, I figure I better note it here before more people wonder… Nothing is wrong with Carson, he’s perfectly healthy. They had kids in the hospital and kids of employees there to greet Peyton.
