Has it really been a month since my last udpate?

As I am constantly getting haranged to update the blog I wanted to be sure to post an update on the Blow Family in Northern Virginia.

Vals second Mothers Day went well in my opinion. The best thing I can do is to give her a break for the weekend and take as many kid responsibilities away from her. The boys just don't get that on Mothers Day you aren't supposed to be a pain in the rear.... They will learn. God knows that I have made some Mothers Days a living hell for my mom.

Zach and Missy, came and visited us over Memorial Day weekend and it was great to see that they will make great parents. They and the boys had a great time together. Oh and we had a good time with them too. Zach is my best friend from High School and him and Melissa are Architects in Chicago. They are real architecture geeks....

Caleb and Jackson are going to start their first swimming lessons in a couple weeks. That should be fun, seeing as they love to have water poored over their head about as much as a red hot poker in eye.... This should be fun. But it has to be done.

Summer is pretty warm here lately but so far managable. It has been getting real hot and then cool, so it seems like the battle over Global Warming and Ice Age. The weather has been just fine for the garden though. So far so good. Still growing.

Since we have moved into the new house my once a week chore of mowing the lawn is definately a new task that is hard to find time for with 2 toddlers around. The nice thing is that the boys love lawn mowers for some reason, so all we have to do is put them on the screened in porch and start mowing. For the most part they just like to watch and point.

Grandma and Grandpa Orejuela are definately the spoiled grandparents when it comes to spending time with Jackson and Caleb. They love spending time with each other and it really helps give Val and I a much needed break every once and a while. This last weekend was our 7 year Anniversary of being married and the Orejuela grandparents watched the boys while we went home, made dinner then slept. It was great to lay in bed in the morning and not have to get up at 5:45 or 6:00 as is the norm.

Other than that, my job is going well. I am liking working for SimiGon now. www.simigon.com
The transition from VTSG to SimiGon has been smooth and so far the future looks good. Val is trying to keep busy with the boys and learns something new every day about to be a great mom.

Here are some pic updates for you to check out. Pay no attention to the pale balding man who resembles an old Caleb or Jackson.
