Sick Fam

Well, it's been a rough couple of weeks. First Tiff got sick, then she gave it to Corbin and then he gave it to me. Luckily we are mostly better now. During this time though Corbin has become the worlds fastest crawler. Seriously, you put this kid down for two seconds and he is racing towards the dog food. Now he has figured out how to pull himself up on things and he thinks he can walk, but mostly he just falls. We had no idea he could pull himself up until going into his room after a nap and there he was leaning over the rail of his crib. Needless to say we lowered it that day. I've been keeping really busy looking for a job and being Mr. Mom. Luckily, my friends at Cooley are on break right now so they come over and play a lot. Although Lance just likes to go outside and try and sunbathe his disturbingly white legs. Now that's just not right.

Laughing Baby

Hi everyone, I hope all is well. We are kind of in a transition period with work and such right now and it's been really taxing. Luckily we have Corbin to help us remember what is important and keep us laughing. He is such a good kid, we really got lucky to have such a laid back little dude.

Snowboarding on Michigans "Mountains"

I had the opportunity to go up north yesterday to go snowboarding at one of the premier bumps in the Midwest. Wayne, Jason and I drove three hours north to Schuss Mountain and boarded almost the whole day. The runs were so short that we could get from the top to the bottom in less than 20 seconds. However, we did have a good time. They had a pretty good terrain park where we spent most of the day jumping and falling. Wayne also had a good time trying to knock down trees. Unfortunately he lost the battle 100% of the time. But here are a couple of good pics to enjoy.

Dreaming of Mexico

Tiff and I were going through some pictures today as we were cleaning out the closet and we came across our Mexico pictures. We are really missing the warm Carribean sun right now. I just thought I'd post a couple of pictures to remind us that somewhere it is sunny.

January Blah's

Well it's overcast in Michigan again, big suprise! Sitting inside on such a crappy day looking at the frozen pool makes me long for the days of summer. The pup is getting a little stir crazy being inside all day long. We can't even say the word walk without a drastic consequence. So, we have to spell it, and even then she knows what we are talking about. I'm sure the pup would be much happier at the lake playing.

Tri "ing" to get there

Well, we've decided to get in shape this year and the major motivating factor is the upcoming St. George Triathlon. Tiff is going to attempt it for her first time and this will be my third. So instead of the usual reasons to get in shape (feel better about ourselves, look good in a swimsuit) our mantra this year is "don't die during the tri." I posted this picture up to remind me what happens when I let go of myself (see Ben) and also not to wear spandex (see Pat). The tri is May 13, so anyone who wants to see us crawling to the finish line meet us in St. George. Peace out!

The First Blog

Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the Rich Family Blog. We thought that this would be a fun way to keep everyone posted on what the latest and greatest is. We just took Corbin to get his 6 month checkup and shots and he is doing great, but the doctor said we need to limit his Caffeine intake, so he's down to two cans a day. But, as you can see we caught him sneaking one the other day. This kid can get into anything and he can't even crawl. We're so proud, and just a touch worried.
