Beware the ides of March

Well, it's not the 15th of March yet, but it's close enough.

Let's see what's going on in the past couple of weeks.

I think I forgot to mention that Jackson and I spent a weekend in Mesa, AZ with my Nana a few weeks ago. My mother and sister also came out and we all had a great time.
Nana has a Wii, and I think I almost wore my arm off playing all of the Wii sports games. It was definitely interesting to see my mom and Nana beating the crap out of me at Wii Bowling. I'm supposed to be the video game guy.

Jill spent a week in Scotland for work. She had to collaborate with some of their folks over there on the project she's been working on. At first it was between Scotland and Milan, and she was cheering for Milan. Of course it was decided that Scotland would be the better choice, but at least she was going to stay in a nice hotel. But wait! It turned out that hotel didn't have enough rooms for everyone and she ended up staying at the Holiday Inn Express at the Glasgow Airport. I think she put it well when she said she might as well have gone to Michigan for a grey and bleh as it was there.

I had my 31st birthday a few days ago. Unfortunately, Jill was in Scotland at the time, but we had a little pre-celebration before she left and we went out to dinner. She got me a Jawbone II bluetooth headset, which is awesome. She also got me a cooking class later this month at Sur La Table, which I'm super excited about. Over the weekend Jackson and I took the train up to my Grandparents in Ventura. It was interesting taking the train. It was about an hour longer than a drive, but Jackson didn't have to sit in a car seat the whole time. He still fussed quite a bit, but over all I think he liked it better. The weekend was nice, and my parents came down as well as my uncles and their families came up. After everyone left on Sunday I spent an extra day with my grandparents which was wonderful.

Jill's back from Scotland today, and she is missing Jackson so much I hope she doesn't drive to fast coming home from the airport. I don't think we have anything major planned coming up in the next couple of weeks, but if anything comes up we'll be sure to post about it.

I've posted a few more pictures of Jackson so be sure to take a look:
