A Little Update!

It's been a little while since I've posted anything here so I thought I would give you all a little update on the things going on around here. Rachel and the unborn baby are doing great. We are going on walks every now and again and we are officially done with volleyball. That is of course a good thing because Rachel was starting to scare me a little bit while she was playing.

Kaine got his stitches out today and is doing very well. He is getting huge after only being 4 months old. His obedience is doing very well and will soon be a very well behaved dog.

I painted the living room a week ago and also put in a new sink with faucet and put in a new counter top. I'm trying to get Rachel to let me do the rest of the kitchen. When that is done, pretty much every room downstairs will have been redone and finished. My buddy Colin was in town this past weekend and we hung out. I haven't seen him in like 5 years. That's how my friends do it, they spread their time out that way you miss them a little bit.

So this week there were a lot of things going on. I started bottling my wine on Thursday. I got 22 1/2 bottles out of my approximate 5 gallons. To some of the bottles I added a raspberry flavoring and some I left as is. It tasted pretty good for my first batch of home made wine if I do say so myself. I've already started giving some bottles away but Rachel has informed me that I need to save some bottles for when she is no longer pregnant.

Last night we had a poker tournament here at the house and Rachel was the perfect hostess. The turnout for the game was great and I ended up taking 2nd place. Kaine is doing really well and is getting bigger everyday. Rachel is a little nervous of how big he is actually going to get. Aiden and Kaine are wresting all the time which is good I guess. I think Aiden is going to be in for a rude awakening when Kaine gets full grown.

This Thursday is the big day for Kaine, he gets the old snip! I know, I'm taking away his manhood but it's honestly for the best. So that's what's going on in the Benda house.
