Let me geek out for a second. I haven't been a good adopter of Linq up to this point. In fact I even went so far as to remove it from my using statements on a lot of new projects because I misunderstood its value. I always though they were trying to usurp my System.Data and System.Data.SqlClient.  This morning I learned about .TypeOf when building an IEnumerable list and, man what a code saver that is.  ! woot.  Linq is now a part of my life, I'll learn more about what other neat things it adds. 

We were on the lookout for Tornadoes moving through the area last night. Some of the craziest storms we've had in a long time ran through all of southern Ontario.  I haven't seen so many lightning strikes in the sky at the same time since I lived in Dallas.  Luckily no twisters formed and everyone was safe and sound.  My daughter didn't even wake up even throughout all of the hours of thunder claps.  We're thankful for the rain at least, all my peeps in Texas could use a little more of the wet stuff I know.  Here's thinking of ya'll suffering in the heat down south.

Real estate is something new in my life.  Expectantly it is where I should be right now. We purchased our semi detached (5yo) home 1hr from downtown Toronto last year for $327K.  Last month the other half of our semi sold for $375k .  Last week the house two doors down sold for $408K.  The house across the street listed for $420K, and just a few days ago the house three doors down (next to the 408K) Listed their Fully detached at $460K.

A quick update to my sleplessness.  Last night we had dinner, put Scarlett down at 8, (she's the 2yr old) and then I went to bed at 8:30.  Right to sleep.  Sure Sebastian did his usual thing waking up most of the night, but those extra hours have made me feel 10 years younger today.  I know Fade suggested we let him cry it out.I've been advocating that course of action, but the wife won't go for that. 

Holy I never update this blog. My eldest is now almost two and my youngest is now  approaching 5 mos!

Current problem is that he won't go to sleep (or back to sleep) unless he's on the boob!  No matter what my wife tries he just screams and screams until he's no the boob then zonk right out.  OMG how to we stop the insanity and just get him to go to sleep on his own.  The pacifier was a no go, I swear I heard his first cuss words amongst his response to THAT attempt.

UGH!

Where does time go?

My little one is already over 9 months old. We took her to her first ball game a few weeks ago. She was in awe of everything going on. It took her a long while to take it all in. Obviously she doesn't really get what was going on, but she had fun. We took some video of her at the game and Shay posted it on youtube.

Yeah I haven't been dilligent about updating this blog.  We've honestly been so busy with real life that I don't hardly even get time to game these days.  Work has been a nightmare on both fronts, full time and contract. Everyone seems to need everything done yesterday.  I guess with spring comes new ideas and budgets to implement them.
