The week before last I took a vacation from work. This is the first time I've taken a vacation in three years. That was a mistake.

| I'm just going to put this right here. |
It was nice being away from the clinic for a bit. Spent time with the family, worked on a couple house projects.
Jo is doing well. He's seeing a speech path, he's babbling a lot and it's getting to be consistent, but it horridly unclear. Not really words. It's getting better slowly. He started daycare and that is going well too. While I was off work we took him to the OK Aquarium

It was fun, but the trip was long and hard on him.
My glasses broke just before the vacation. I had to get a cheap pair to cover while my real glasses were put together. They are the cheapest pair that eye mart would sell me.

| hello ladies. |
Mo convinced me to get prescription sunglasses. They came in just before I drove down to TX for Jack's "I'm not in the Marines anymore party". Fun times. However, he was disappointed that my mom did not come visit too.

| Jack sad. |
But it was good to see the Hendrix and I could not be more proud of him and excited about his new job.
The rest of the vacation was spent dealing with finishing stage 1 of the kitchen make over. The painting and such was easy, just time consuming and an exercise in patience. The new hinges were a nightmare but eventually they got sorted out.
here's some before and after shots.

So that's stage 1.
About 20 minutes after the photos were taken, I ripped that horrid laminate backsplash off. The next stage will be to add some under cabinet lighting. Then paint the counter top, then do a new backsplash.
But right now, we're dealing with my dad who is in the hospital.
