Another summer has come and mostly gone…. Time really does fly and that seem especially true for us this year. So much of our time has been taken up with going to doctors and worrying and planning for the babies’ arrival – not to mention the fact that Robyn’s been on bed-rest – that we haven’t really had much opportunity to get out and enjoy the weather or see friends.<\/p>\n

As the weather has been a bit cooler, not to mention a lot rainier lately, it starts to feel more and more the end of the summer and I keep looking at my to-do list and thinking about the things that I’ve been meaning to get done. In the last week or so, some of these items have been crossed off the list as I’ve managed to pull together the resources and time to complete them. At least getting stuff done has decreased my stress levels a bit. I feel better about how things are going at home and in preparation for doubling the size of our family. I still worry about work a bit, but I figure that people have to have some sympathy for what I’m going through. I haven’t let anything slide as far as really important projects go and I’ve been making some headway on those as well.<\/p>\n
John and I went for a bike ride today. We checked out an little road that we had passed on our rides previously and we were surprised to find an abandoned building. There were no signs to indicate what the place used to be used for, so it’s hard to say what it was, but it looked to me like an old bank or something although I tend to doubt that since it’s in a bad location. At least one of the doors was left unlocked, so we could have gone in, but decided against it. I believe that would be trespassing. We also managed to find a section of the old Morris Canal that was still intact and we rode on the towpath until it came out on Planeview Rd in Stanhope. The area we rode can be seen [url=http:\/\/maps.google.com\/?ie=UTF8&z=16&ll=40.905453,-74.714767&spn=0.011596,0.019999&t=h&om=1]here[\/url]. The last thing we checked out was an air ambulance helipad on Love Lane. We rode around the chopper once and then saw the crew watching us closely from their office. I was tempted to ask them about it, but they didn’t seem to be very interested in talking so we left the area.<\/p>\n
Later in the day, John, Kath, Evan and Zoe and George, Shannon, Drew and Cam came to hang out at our place for a bit. It was really nice to sit and chat. We’ve been dying to get out of the house and hang out with other people, so this was the next best thing. Staying in and seeing people! I feel really lucky to have such good friends and to be associated with good people.<\/p>\n
After I cleaned up from the company, I downloaded some video from our camera and I watched some short videos that we had taken of the babies moving around in Robyn’s belly. I’ll put a link to some of the edited “bumps” as they are really quite amazing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
