Splendiferous Zeppelin Escapades

We finally got the vinyl cutting software working again (at least for now…) While it was up and running, we were able to cut words for Spencer’s helmet. He officially has his crash helmet. You’ll see what I mean in a second.

Adam and I celebrated our 5th Anniversary this past weekend. We had such a good time. On Friday, we went out with our family (like normal), but then we were able to play a game that I got Adam for his birthday, called Arkham Horror. This is our table… it’s a pretty huge game.

Then on Saturday, we went to the Melting Pot (as per our tradition) and a bed and breakfast. This year we went to a place called the Rusty Gables. It was one of the nicest ones we’ve been to thus far. While it was more rustic and outdoorsy than is our style it was a great change and we had a great time.

While we were on our way to the Melting Pot my parents (who were watching Spencer) called me. They asked me if I knew that Spencer had cut his first tooth. I knew he was teething, but I didn’t know that it had already come out. We think it came out on our Anniversary.

On Thursday, I took Spencer to the grocery store for the first time since we got his helmet. What an experience. People just couldn’t NOT look at Spencer. He attracts so much attention. I had a couple people come up and ask me about his helmet. Then when we were leaving the man who was parked next to me waited to take my cart to the cart carral so I wouldn’t have to. It was just crazy the way people reacted to us.

Well, this is a new look, but not for the blog this time. Spencer got his band today. Here are some pictures of my little cutie and his new headgear.

And he was so tired this is how we found him when he got home.

We start off slow with him wearing the band for an increased amount of time each day for the first week until we get to where he is wearing it 23 hours a day. This should be an adventure. The time estimates for him to be in it is 3 to 4 months (things could change as we go through the process). So, just for the summer.
