Recent Happenings

It's been a while since I last posted, but not a lot has been going on. My parents came to Ohio for the end of Iowa State's spring break which happened to coincide with Easter and Aaron's birthday. So on the night of the 20th Aaron and I went to see the Blue Man Group at the Nutter Center here in Dayton while Mom and Dad watched Quentin. This was my birthday gift to Aaron by the way. The next day Aaron had off of work for Good Friday so we all went down to Cincinnati to the new Ikea store which had just opened recently. It was good to see my parents again and we had a good time while they were here.
Aaron and I also had car issues last weekend. First my car wouldn't start when I was getting ready to go to the airport to get mom and dad. So Aaron had to leave work in the middle of the day to go pick them up and bring them to the house. We ended up having to have my car towed to the Toyota dealership so they could figure out what the issue was. The car ended up needing a new battery and engine mount which cost a pretty penny. Then on Monday Aaron's car wouldn't start. Fortunately we were pretty sure it was the battery and mom and dad were still here. So I took Aaron to work that morning and a little later dad jump started the car and we took it to a nearby repair shop. So they replaced the battery and aligned the wheels since they were pulling to the right and gave me a call. Turns out aligning the wheels did not fix the pulling problem and they said that the tires were pretty bad and needing replacing. So we got new tires. Total car repair fixes cost about $850. Just what we needed. But at least both cars are running well now.


Quentin is practicing sitting with a little help from Grandpa.


Quentin sure likes his Easter present from Grandma and Grandpa. We have named him Mr. Hop-a-long.


Lately Quentin has taking to trying to stuff his fist in his mouth. Yummy!
