I know... way too long...

Since the last post.

First things first. New pictures are available at the shutterfly site. See the link on the right.

Let's see, Zach is now 6.5 months old. He is doing very well. Has one tooth, is almost crawling, eating semi-solids, gaining weight, getting taller, sitting up, less spitting up, swimming, bathing and so much more. He is also getting slightly better about sleeping for longer periods of time at night. Still have not broken the 5 hour barrier and he is certainly not consistent about sleeping that long. We, and I mean Johanna, are trying to be patient while he figures this out.

Elle is a water fanatic. Pools, sprinklers and the water table have been a huge hit this summer so far. I think she has been in one of them everyday so far. She is also still a huge fan of the parks. Any park. I'm not sure I can list all the things she is up to so I won't even try. She is doing wonderfully. She's become a lot more interested in Zach now as well.

Johanna continues to be a most remarkable woman. She has persevered through the last six months of sleepless nights with almost no complaint. She has become much more occupied over the last couple of months dealing with our relocation plans. That's right. We are moving. I've accepted a position with Pfizer in Saint Louis. We should be there late October or early November. We decided to build a house instead of buying an existing home. There are plenty of wonderful homes there. We just felt that we needed something that was essentially in move-in condition. We don't have a lot of spare time for home improvements at this time. We will be in the community of Wyngate in O'fallon, MO. I have to admit we are both very excited about the move. We like our house now but have outgrown it. This move affords us the opportunity to upgrade and get the room we need.

That's all for now.
