Chase Update

Our child, Chase, has been doing pretty well at sleeping longer amounts of time at night! It’s great. Well, he often gets up once or twice in the night to eat, but sometimes he sleeps for 6-7 hours straight, which is a relief to me! I am somewhat normal these days, rather than the exhausted zombie I was for the first several weeks of Chase’s life. Overall, he’s a pretty chill baby (as long as we hold him for he majority of the day) and we are really grateful for that. He will be 8 weeks old this Friday! His hair seems to be getting a little darker and he makes lots of cooing sounds that are adorable. He has smiled a few times now, but we are awaiting the day when we’ll see lots of smiles and laughs coming from that kid! But for now, he is chubby and cute as can be.

New McBlog Features

McBlog New feature allows for comments to be made in quickview area. Don’t know if it works in Internet Explorer… but you really shouldn’t be surfing the internet with that crap anyway.. switch to Mozilla Firefox. (well I just checked in IE and interestingly/oddly enough, the comments don’t show, but the submit a new comment box does…)

We also added the feature to register for the blog… on the left column in the Additional section there is a register link. You can sign up for this blog, which will allow you to… well as far as I can tell it just lets you sign up as a profile so that each time you visit you can just login and make comments and you don’t have to type your name and email and stuff, and I think you’ll be able to edit your own comments too… well any way you want to make comments is fine with us, registered or non registered. (Cotton and Tyler you are already authors, so you would just login of course)

Pretend you are an athlete


I am curious to know if anyone (that includes everybody) would want to participate in some fantasy football this NFL season. If you have never done something like this it is quite entertaining and makes all the games much more significant other than simply rooting for your favorite team, you instead cheer on individual achievements. The actual process is fairly simple depending on how many people want to play. The group will either decide to hold a mock draft where we all pick players one at a time (but you are not required to do this the computer will choose the best person available automatically) or just let the randomizer organize the teams. Then once everyone has their “teams” each week you decide who is going to “start” and who will be on the bench. IE Peyton Manning and Doug Flutie are on your squad and you decide (wisely) to have Peyton “start” and he throws 4 touchdowns earning you 120 points for that week. It is all quite fun and exciting, and its run through yahoo so they even keep a little “baseball” card of how you do in each league every year for those who play often. If you are interested please tell me here so I can set up the league and let everyone know what to expect. If not you can return to discussing more important things now, thank you for your time.

Carolina to Win Stanley Cup


The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Buffalo Sabres last night in game 7 of the semi-final series. Claiming the Prince of Whales East Conference Champion trophy. They have also sealed the deal to go to the finals next week to destroy the Edmintin Oilrs. The slick canadian team relies soley on luck to win games, therefore I will predict the Canes will beat them in 5 games or less. Stay tuned to McBlog to see if Carolina can claim the greatest honor in sports, the STANLEY CUP!
