Sounds

Today as I walked into the restroom at work, I walked past a wall of cubes where someone was starting up their computer. The familiar Windows starting chime went off and I found myself thinking it was "my" computer. :) You know, because only my computer makes that familiar sound.

One thing I do know that sounds different from so many others is the sound of my car starting. It's such a familiar sound, and so reassuring. I remote-start my car each day as I walk toward it. Most every day I hear it, before I see it. Every day, I'm not sure why, I hesitate the moment before it starts. Maybe I drove junkers for far too long or something, but it's as though I hold my breath each time.

Hearing my car start is a good thing.

Milestones

Gavin can snap his fingers, and told me the other day that when he grows up he wants to drive an army tank.

Derek wrote his name and is now signed up for Kindergarten in the fall.

Tyler's saying a ton of words and can throw one heck of a fit when he doesn't get his way.
