The short story is that my web host sent out an email at 4 PM which said that night they were moving ALL of their web hosting to new Quad-core Xeon servers. The email said that there would be limited down-time and I wouldn't ... http://www.drozmonkey.com/2008/04/29/a-little-down-time/ I don't have anything against cats, but I doubt anyone had any misconceptions that I'm a cat person. However, Livy's great aunts on the Kane side are cat people and apparently Livy may be as well. When Aunt Patti sent Livy a birthday email with a cat video link, from ... http://www.drozmonkey.com/2008/04/23/more-meow-meow/ And now for the eldest Andrews daughter - two-year-old Olivia is quite the entertaining gal lately. Her vocabulary has grown immensely, as well as her memory and imagination. She entertains me all day long with "conversation" and stories. Frequently, she recalls our trip to Sea World with cousins Elizabeth & David (where she fell down ... http://www.drozmonkey.com/2008/04/21/our-growing-girls-livy/ The long weekend visit of Pope Benedict the XVI has come to a close as he left last night for Rome.

I look forward to "watching him, listening to him, praying for him, and celebrating with great joy the fact that our shepherd is so near." Here are plans one family has ... http://www.drozmonkey.com/2008/04/15/welcome-holy-father/ Ms. Molly Josephine is really growing up lately. She's 7 1/2 months old and a happy little cherub. She loves Red and is fascinated by her big sister. In Molly's world, there is nothing more entertaining than watching Livy play with Red (unless it is Daddy playing with Livy & Red). She has an ... http://www.drozmonkey.com/2008/04/06/our-growing-girls-molly/ Can it really be April already? I'd swear we just got back from our Christmas trip to NE. I've struggled with fatigue, illness and a few challenges with the girls in the last few months and simply put - life here in our little house has been all-consuming. January provided exhaustion from our 2-week trip home, ... http://www.drozmonkey.com/2008/04/03/coming-out-of-the-fog/ We haven't been real active lately but hopefully that will be turning around. Jenny and the girls have all been sick but everyone is feeling better now thankfully. It might take a while for use to catch up on all of our blogging and photos (we still haven't put up ... http://www.drozmonkey.com/2008/04/01/long-time-no-blog/ We recently got AT&T Uverse Internet and TV, including a DVR, which was something new for us. The DVR is pretty handy because it lets you easily schedule your favorite shows to record so you can watch them later. This can lead to some dangerous combinations since one of my favorite shows ... http://www.drozmonkey.com/2008/03/03/late-night-good-eats/
