Five Guys - Thursday Dinner

Michael and Jamie were working on Michael's bathroom, so we decided to meet in Lee's Summit at Five Guys hamburgers for our Thursday night dinner with Dad.

Violet was able to join us but she was so tired she fell asleep during dinner.

Violet Chills in her High Chair

Believe it or not, this is a high chair. Whatever happened to the wooden high chair with the tray that would never slide on correctly?

Violet Graduates to Big Girl Bath

I can remember when Michael and Melissa were babies and I had to give them a bath. At one point I believe I had one of those foam mats that you put in the kitchen sink or bathtub. If that was not available, I can remember folding a bath towel and putting that in the sink just in case the soapy baby slipped a bit. But now they have baby bathtubs that actually tell the temperature of the water so you know the baby will not be scalded or frozen.

Now that Violet has learned to sit, she has graduated from her smart baby bathtub to a seat that can be put in the bathtub. Next they'll probably invent a way for "smart" hands to bathe the baby.

Michele and Violet - First Borns

Michele found a break in her busy work schedule to come to Kansas City. We went to our favorite Mexican restaurant for lunch, Salty Iguana, and had Fun House Pizza for dinner.

Michele also got to visit with Violet. She was going on and on about how first born children were so independent and smart. Although I wouldn't get too excited about that smart stuff.

At dinner, Violet was going crazy trying to get Karen's water bottle in her mouth. I guess you could call that smart. At least Violet knew there was something in that bottle that you could drink.

Baby Violet Sits Up

Just the other day I was posting that I had to hurry to take a picture of Baby Violet sitting before she fell over.

Well today she can sit up by herself. With just the blink of an eye things change with babies. But she's so advanced. Maybe tomorrow she'll be crawling.

Thursday Night Dinner - Famous Dave's

Famous Dave's opened this Monday so we had to check it out for our Thursday night dinner - plus I had a coupon.

Melissa, Dad, Michael, Jamie and baby Violet were all available for dinner. I thought the food was good but I'm not sure if it's as good as Smokehouse Bar-B-Cue just down the street. We went at just the right time. As we were leaving I heard people talking across the parking lot that there was an hour wait.

Michael's Interview

Michael has been working for Harrah's since December and is ready for another position. I hate to talk to much about this because I don't want to jinx his chances. He just finished his interview in round 2 for a VIP Host. If he gets the job, his entire wardrobe will change.

Instead of wearing his usual jeans and T-shirt or mechanics uniform, he'll be wearing suits and ties. But the interaction with big time gamblers and taking them to sporting events is well worth the clothes.

He looks good even without the jacket. He should hear sometime tomorrow if he made it to the third and final interview. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
