FLOOD OF THE CENTURY!

I flooded the house twice since the last post. My first shower directly resulted in the first flood. The second resulted from... well, I blame Heather for not telling me to hook up the waste water tube.

So far, everything at "work" is really easy. They gave us just about 3 weeks to "settle in." The doors lock before five and the gate closes at six. Of course, for the last week I've been home at one most days. I'm enjoying the break, but last night I dreamt a Marine LtCol was yelling at me while I washed dishes. It didn't matter how fast I washed, he just screamed and screamed. I think I might be anxious about the up and coming work load. Or maybe I'm afraid the baby will make a lot of dirty dishes.

Perhaps settling on a baby name would make me less anxious... so far, the families have put forward two favorites:

From my father: "Baby Joey"
From the Haydens: "Heather's Little Bob"

I recently voted for "Basil Hayden Lidowski." Heather said I can't name our child after a brand of bourbon.

To see pictures of Heather, the baby shower, our trip to Ohio and some gross stuff we found in a grocery store, look at our recent Flickr Updates.

We are Arriven

We arrived in Ohio on Sunday after hugging everyone goodbye. The trip was extremely easy and we made it in time for dinner. The air base sports about a hundred gates, but it seems that only three are open at once. Considering there are at least three distinct/separated parts of base, three open gates stinks.

Our new house stands near one of the part time gates, which is convenient. The leasing office assigned us a 3-BR duplex in renovated base housing. The space is adequate, and we like the location. I wish the floors were nicer, but Heather looks forward to rug shopping later today. The neighbor's duplex looks really nice with all the floor coverings they put down.

Despite running their business in a lot adjacent to my backyard, the silly cable company won't activate network services until next Wednesday. We'll post some photos from Kentucky and our trip then.

Last Blog for a While

We roll out tomorrow for Kentucky, where we'll stay with Art and Marylon for about a week before we move onto Ohio. We may or may not have internet access, so I'm billing this as the last blog entry for a few weeks. We'll make updates sooner if we can.

Baby Lidowski has been kicking a whole, whole bunch lately. He's kicking so much, we think he might be trying to escape. Or maybe it was the extra spicy chili Heather ate the other day. The baby doesn't like chili--I think we angered him.

We went to "Bullnanza" Friday night, but I don't think the baby much cared.
