Not much happening lately. Lisa is beginning to feel the baby move a bit especially in the morning. I'm just sitting here watching the Browns game trying to get motivated to start packing for my tradeshow in Chicago. I never though that I would have a job that required me to attend and work at tradeshows and the jury is still out on if I think that they are worth the effort.

The only benefit of attending tradeshows is that I get to visit cities like Chicago for a few days and explore a bit. This trip will take me to a Cubs game at Wrigley Field and to a couple of restaurants that I've never been to. There will be a small group of us going to a place called Hugo's Frog Bar and there will be a considerably more of us when we go to Fogo de Chao.

Lisa and her Mom had a garage sale last week and did very well. I've been complaining about all the excess "stuff" that we hold onto forever and she finally did something about it. She sold just about everything that she tried to sell and ended up making a few bucks doing it. It's amazing that others would want to buy our trash.

Nothing much new on the baby front except for the movements I talked about earlier. We have the ultrasound the first week in October and Shawn is really excited to be able to see his baby brother or sister. We are not going to find out the sex of the baby; just doesn't seem like any fun to find out before the event.

I can't believe that the Browns are actually beating up on the Ravens at halftime! Go Browns!!

I recently was contacted by an old high school friend and she pointed out that we have plenty of pictures of Shawn on here but none of Lisa or I so here it goes (I'm the one with the long ears)............
