Wesley
is now 4 weeks old and this month has gone by so quickly! His
sleeping has varied but it’s about 3 hours at a time, which is pretty
good. I realize that Kate is the one that is suffering
the most sleep wise as I’m at work at night and when I get home she
lets me sleep. I’m sure once Kate goes back to work there will be
further adjustments that will be necessary.
He’s
such a handsome boy! I love his facial expressions, yes I know they
are mostly involuntary. He has this one where he looks so concerned.
We’ve taken him a couple places he has been
so good. Kate’s friend Andrea came over the snag a couple photos and
there was some really nice ones but the one above is my favorite!
In non-Wesley related news:
Canaan took 4th
place at the Boy Scout’s Pinewood Derby. Not too shabby! We found a
car design on line and had it cut out at a pack meeting. Bob helped
hallowing out the bottom
to make room for the weights and he cut the head off a large bolt that
made up good portion of it. Canaan painted the car himself. I wasn’t
able to go because Wesley was being born. But I’m hoping to watch the
video that Jessica recorded of it.
Canaan
also just started his second year of Gardiner Cal Ripken Minor League
Baseball, he’s on the blue team coached by CJ Elliott and they have
adopted the nickname the Blue Diamonds.
Addison is doing well in dance. Her recital is on May 16th if anyone wants to go tickets are just $15, Money due by April 23rd.
The three of us took a day trip on April 14th
to Marshall Point Light in Port Clyde. It was such a beautiful
day and the weather was just perfect. It was nice walking on the rocky
shore and I got some fantastic photos. There was no one else there
until it was time to leave. So glad we went, Kate
was itching to get out of the house and I was itching for a nice day
drive.
We
stopped for a slice of pie at Moody’s eating it in the van so as not to
disturb the sleepy guy in the back. A quick stop at Morse’s sauerkraut
where we found the delicious 7 year aged
Old Quebec cheese that we had on our honeymoon. The $20 a pound price
tag deterred us from buying it, but we at least know where we can get it
now. We got a pound of kraut for Kate’s mom and I got some sour
mustard pickles. Kate said it really reminded
her of The Mouse Trap, a place she worked at in Kentucky. I too was
surprised what they offered inside, especially considering its location!
I
recently submitted a story to Level Best Books for their annual
anthology. I also have one that I submitted last September to another
anthology that I should be hearing from anytime now.
I’m not going to lie I’m getting a bit anxious having not heard from
them in so long. I’m really hoping one of these 2 stores gets accepted.
I
have a new blog that I started, and I even paid the $12 to register the
domain name. It’s called the Wrestling Insomniac and it’s all about
wrestling. As you all know I love professional
wrestling and I really want to be involved somehow. Writing this blog
entertains me and is fun for me. If something comes it, then awesome,
if it doesn’t then that’s cool too! It’s been up and running since
March 1st and I’ve already gotten almost
1000 views so it’s a start. www.thewrestlinginsomniac.com
and perhaps you could like the page on Facebook to increase my like count. Thanks.
If I haven’t mentioned it yet, let me please mention that I Fat Boy Drive In opened March 19th and I had my first whoper burger of the season on the 22nd.
I’m a magnet
guy as far as I like to collect magnets of places that I have been, I
don’t want people buying me magnets. That way I can look at my fridge
and me reminded of the fun places I’ve been.

| Not the current sign but the basis for the magnet, I like this sign better than the current |
Anyhow
Fat Boy has never had a magnet, t-shirt, hats, bottle opener (I bought
one), prints, a key chain flashlight this year, but never magnets.
While standing in line for my burger I posted
a photo on Instagram and while exploring the hash tag fatboy I came
across people holding these cool looking magnets of the Fat Boy sign.
So I
messaged on of the people who had one and long and the short is, turns
out a local artist did a painting of the sign and then made the high
quality magnets out of them. Really professional
and was selling them on her etsy page for $5, sold! So right there in
line I went to her page, ordered and paid for the magnet with pay pal.
It now adorns my fridge. If you would like your own here is the link to
her page. Here's the link to her etsy page: Fat Boy Sign Magnet
Speaking
of burgers, Elevation Burger has opened an Augusta location and even
though I have yet to sample there delicious burgers, I will be soon,
very soon
That’s all for now, take care!
Later Readers!
