I thought about letting this site go, the name is up for renewal and I thought maybe I should just let it expire. I don’t write enough so is it worth the money. I’ve come to the conclusion that it is worth the money and that I should write more, especially when it comes to Dylan. It will be nice to have someday and look back on the things we did. I mean he’s already 2 and we’ve done SO much and I can’t believe he’s 2 already.

I felt bad for Dylan Saturday night. We put him to bed around 8/8:30 knowing that the fireworks would be going off in the next hour or so. We live across the street from where the fire them off but we figured we’d get a warning shot and be able to get up to his room before they really started. I mean every other year they shoot one and wait a few minutes. Not this year. Terri and I were watching a movie downstairs and we hear boom, boom, boom, boom, boom followed by crying over the monitor. We ran upstairs as fast as we could but it wasn’t quick enough. We turned on the light in Dylan’s room and found him sitting up in the corner of his bed with a wall of stuffed animals protecting him. I’ve never seen the look of fear in his eyes like I did on Saturday night. We brought him outside so he could see that there wasn’t anything to be afraid of and eventually made our way back inside to watch them out the living room window. It wasn’t as loud inside and eventually he started saying the names of each color as the exploded in the sky. I still don’t think he’s a fan of them but I know eventually he will be and has the perfect hourse for viewing them.
