What's Been Happening?

Well, it's been a little bit since I've updated everyone on stuff and things and happenings. While I don't actually have any new pictures to post (don't delete the message yet) I thought I'd just give a brief update as to what's happening in "Kyle-topia."

First, yes I just made up yet another term. Though I'd rather not spend much time on that because far more clever things have received less time and attention. So, let's move on from that, then. Shall we?

The Votes are In

A couple weeks ago, I had posted a poll asking about what you all would like to see as the future of how these updates are delivered to you. I want to to thank each and every person who took the time to respond. Both of you. :-)

In light of all two votes, here is the final decision. One vote was sort of middle of the road and was not very concerned for the future of this feed. The other was quite adamant that everything continue the way it has been thusfar and to not change anything.

Valentine's Day

Actually, it would be a misnomer to refer to this as "Valentine's Day" because the events described herein took place prior to said holiday. It took place, instead, on the dreaded Friday the 13th.

At the time of my awakening on this bright, beautiful morning of February the 13th in the year of our Lord two-thousand nine, it did not occur to me that this would be a significant fact. The plan was in place. The flowers were ordered. The balloons were ordered. I had the day scheduled to take off.

Slackers 'R Us

So, once again I am ashamed of my natural inclination toward slackerness (though I never seem to have trouble making up words). But, in this case, I think there was due cause.

I shared previously what a fun and exciting weekend we had while Kyle had the flu from Friday night until later Sunday. In fact, I ended up staying home on Monday just to make sure he had a full recovery and was able to take solid foods, rehydrate and all that.

A Quick Reminder

I wanted to send out a quick reminder to those who have yet to cast their vote for the future of how these updates are sent out. I'm afraid that if you do not cast your vote for your desired outcome, I will have little choice but to chuckle politely to myself if you are dissappointed in said outcome.

While it would seem that peole turned out in record numbers to vote in November, 2008, I must assure you that this vote is far more important than any you may have placed in a ballot box just over three months ago. The fate of the world could, quite possibly, be in your hands. Don't leave it to chance!

Remember, the deadline is midnight on Saturday the 14th. Make your vote count!

The Weekend

Well, I can't say it's been all that great of a weekend. Kyle was more than a bit out of sorts the last couple days. Here it is, Sunday evening, and he's only now starting to show signs of wanting to play a bit.

But, I'm getting ahead of myself for those who, like me, have these obssessive compulsive tendancies and need things like this told in chronological order. In our case, our story begins on Friday night.

We've Come a Long Way, Baby!

Though it may seem like a cheap, lazy way to come up with another post, I thought it would be neat to take a trip into the past and take a look at how far we've come. Many of you remember, of course, that wonderful day almost two and a half years ago.

So, now that we've got lots of pictures of Kyle more recently, let's take a trip back in time to see what he looked like back then. Enjoy the pictures and have fun remembering where came from.

Need Your Feedback

It has been a rather long time since we have done a poll on the Carrington Family blog. So long, in fact, that one has never actually been done. Ever.

After today, however, everything will change. Birds will start flying north for the winter, people will start taking more pictures of their third child than they did with their first, airlines will be on time, gas prices will go down and, best of all, we can no longer claim that we've never done a poll.

A New Day

While everyone was busy getting ready to celebrate Super Bowl Sunday, we were busy celebrating something quite different. Although we did watch the game later that day (still bummed about the Cards losing, but it was at least an exciting game), the highlight of the day was mid-morning.

Now, usually most of the stuff that I write in here is about Kyle. And most of the reason for that is because he's quite a bit more interesting than I am. I realize that this is not a difficult accomplishment, but it is what it is.
