Month 2 starts in the Leander KOA park

Yep, the 28th of Feb is the end of one month in the park here in Leander. Time flys when you are having fun. Our grandson is 3 weeks old today. What a change. It is so cool holding him and rocking him to sleep. As many of you know I can't stand still. So I am well suited at putting him to sleep. I like being grandpa.
We are continuing to explore a little at a time. We went to Round Rock to find the outlets and found that coming out of the outlets we were in Georgetown. They are really close. Then we went the other direction to find a mall that I have visited a couple of times with Mindy and been totally lost. Found it and was STILL lost. What a confusing place.
Lizzie is getting used to her digs. I think the RV is a dog house and she is sharing it with us. Not sure when I lost control. I opened the door yesterday and she was out before I took one step. Where is the discipline?
Our cobra medical cards still haven't arrived and here we are making another payment. Whow what a great benefit! Maybe I need to fly back to the bay area and escalate the process. Couldn't cost any more!
So we have spent a lot of hours watching the Olympics. I'm ready to start curling, seems like a great way to throw rocks and not get into trouble!

We have been cold and busy

It is that time of year when taxes are on my mind. I have been trying to keep track of all the paper work as we go through this process of life change. Linda and I have been working on it for a few days. I finally got it all together and linda spent the night working on all the stuff we took to Goodwill, determining the value of it all. The next morning we were going to mail it to Kay for processing and we wake up to a white out. It snowed all day. I had several inches on the top of the car. It was a packing snow. All you had to do was grab a hand full and you had a snow ball.

I got some pic's from the rv park but forgot my camera when I took a trip to Georgetown. What a strange thing a full day of snow. This morning the only snow left was what fell off the car.

So Cameron is looking good. What a young man he is. Mindy got a picture of him in a big yawn. I think I am hooked.

Oh, yea, I forgot.

Last night while relaxing at the kids house and Cameron was sleeping, I decided to update the maps on my TOMTOM. I ordered the new maps and then a year of updates. I suspect it may be handy with the traveling. Well I install the update maps and it failed. Not enough memory. So I remove some stuff like different languages and other country maps etc to make room. i retry and get the maps downloaded. After that I had no maps of the US. All I had was Great Britan and some other place. I worked for two hours and no luck. I was about to decide that TOMTOM was dead. It would freeze when starting etc. Finally I got to a point I could manage it from the computer so ended up deleting the us maps from my computer and TomTom and reloaded from the net. Finally I could see our country. I used it today and it worked. CLOSE!
After that wonderful experience, I noticed my iPhone had a new load so I installed it as well. Fortunately it worked without an issue. Had it broken, i would have been really frustrated with my evening.
Well back to watch Curling. i kind of like that. i would like to try it some day.

Cameron and mom and dad are doing well Austin made news big time!

Well, a new day and being a grandpa just gets better. I was rocking my grandson and observed him focused on something on the wall and he followed it with his eyes while we were rocking. Yep, another milestone. What a guy. I have moved back into the motor home as he is sleeping and doing well with his circumcision healing. So grandpa and grandma needed to back off and allow mom and dad to adjust to their new life with grandparents that live in the area not in the house.
On the local front I'm sure you heard about the nut case who flew his plane into the irs offices in
Austin. His plane was parked just a few miles from where we have our rv parked. Also I heard that the plane is registered in California and that when he was there, he was flying out of Lincoln. The airport that was directly in the flight path where we flew our powered parachutes.
Small world!
Linda and I drove out to Georgetown Texas this afternoon just to look around. It is a nice area. We really liked it. It had some of the old Roseville flair as far with respect to old roseville look and feel. No rail road yard though. I kind of miss the trains. On our trip to Texas we were constantly next to rail tracks and trains. Once we got to Texas we have a track going through the area but seldom is thre a train. We heard one a couple of nights ago. Felt good!
Ya know there are some things we have to deal with no matter what or where we are. Taxes. I have been working on tax paper work. I hope to put it in and envelope and ship it off to get the paperwork done tomorrow. It will be nice to get this behind me.
Oh yea, I ended up making another call to the cobra people. i swear they seem to me like they try to find anyway possible to cause you to loose coverage. Finally they cashed the check for our first months premimum. It would not have happened, I am sure, had I not made another call to them. So Feb will be over soon and we have had no access to medical. You just got to love it!

Well this time it worked. Diaper Changed and sleep

So why is it that when you feed him he toots. Usually after you just changed him when he woke up hungry? It must be a viral implant by diaper manufacturers. They must be in cahoots(sp?) with the hospital or something. I love it when the halo appears around kids. It shows up about the time they nod off. I had forgotten how that was. It has been a few years since I paid much attention. It is wonderful to hold a child and feel them fade into a restful sleep. So peaceful.
Now it is time for grandpa to nod off to sleep once again. A few hours later we will start the process again.
On the Lizzie front, she goes to the groomer tomorrow morning to get trimmed up a bit. Her last cut in CA is really growing out. Almost like growth hormone. Maybe there is something to this thing of bigger in Texas. Maybe it is in the water? Lizzie's hair is growing so fast! I'll have to take a before and after pic.
Good night my friends!

Do you see the time?

Well here we sit. Mom and grandpa. Cameron is awake. Just fed and did his business which we changed and now he should be ready to sleep. NO! Let's warm up this new diaper! So here we go again. Back to the changing table to clean up another mess. For some reason he seems to be more tollerant at night. THAT IS A GOOD Thing! Helps he rest of the house sleep.
So why should that happen? Because we are nice! Shhhh don't let any one know that. Ed and nice don't fit in the same planet let alone a blog. So we are going in. Hopefully for the last time tonight. Never fear though, gramps will be waiting for any sign of need.
We are going in!

Guess what happens to little boys a week or so after they are born.

Yep, they did it to my grandson. He took it like the little man he is. Other than just after the procedure he is doing very well with it. It takes two of us to change his diaper. He is doing great though. We actually got a good nights sleep last night. He slept for 4+ hours.
On the long lost car front, our van finally made it on to a truck. My friend Collin was getting ready to auction it off as it had been in his shop for about a month. I am greatful to him for his help in getting that one last thing taken care of. It would have really dampened our trip to have had to wait there until the car was shipped. I think the car haulers are in with the dmv. My tag's expire in Feb. I knew if I did not renew it would become a problem. I renewed and it was a problem anyway. Go figure. Like other things on this trip I can not second guess the events to follow.
Grandpa got some extra sleep last night as well. That was great. It has been getting down to freezing in the evenings so I guess it is a good thing we are with the kids. The rv gets a little cold when the temp gets that low.
Well we have errands to run so I better get off the computer before Linda leaves without me.
