I've created a monster

Abbie in Wash Park This past week has been a lot of fun. In order to survive our new life with two kids, we've split up the responsibilities. Abbie is now my kid and Jack is Julie's. This means that I'm in charge of Abbie 24 hours a day, and Julie takes care of Jack. Julie's definitely got the easier deal as Jack sleeps most of the time. Abbie and I are having a blast though. We've been out and about every day - whether it's at the park, riding bikes or in the mountains hiking. Now when she wakes up she yells "Daddy" instead of "Mommy".

I think I've created a monster though. Today I went the local Starbucks during her nap in order to try and get a little Spring Live writing done. Julie called me when she woke up from her nap to tell me that I had to come home right away b/c Abbie wouldn't come out of her room. She was screaming for Daddy and wanted nothing to do with Mommy. Uh oh, this little girl is going to be awfully upset when Daddy goes back to work at the end of the month. Since I don't have a new gig yet, maybe I won't be going back to work so soon. ;-)

This week I realized why I like being a consultant so much. I've taken 9 weeks off so far this year - and after this month, it'll be 13! When I told my Dad this he made a good point, "then why haven't I seen you more?" Unfortunately, out of the 9 weeks I took off earlier this year, I went to conferences for 4 of them, and worked on Spring Live for 4 of them. The other week I was sick. Ugh, I've got to start taking more vacations like this one - they're awesome.

Hey ... way to go. I also found that having the second child was great ... Dad always had at least one kid to hang out with! Cheers, Gerry

>> park, riding bikes or in the mountains hiking....you've created an "adventurer". The pioneering spirit from great-grandpa Matti Hill and beaming-with-pride grandpa Joe/Barbara showing through! It's genetic.

Hey Matt.. Glad to hear that you are enjoying your time off. And congratulations on the birth of Jack. Exciting times in the Raible household.

Wish me luck.. Our third is due to be delivered a week from today (scheduled c-section). We already have two boys (4 and almost 2) and we're having a girl this time. Should be very interesting.

Two kids is hard at first, but you get used to it. Pretty soon, you'll be ready for #3! :-)

Congrats!

--> John
