It's FRIDAY!!!!!

As you all know, Friday is a great day in any persons life. When you become parents who work Friday takes on a whole new meaning. It is the day that you look forward to all week. Emily who is now back at work soooo looks forward to Friday. With my hectic schedule coaching, the weekends are the only time when we really get to see each other. This will become even better when the Basketball season is over. (We won last night 65-23). Emily and I look forward to spending some quality time with Camey together. Our schedule is usually like two ships passing in the night. Em comes home from work, and I leave for practice pr game. I have truly enjoyed our unefeated season, but it is hard to be a good caoch and good dad/husband. No matter what you do, you probably are neglecting something or someone.


Anyway today is Friday and with a week off before our next game, I gave the girls a night off to rest and Em and I are going to veg out with movies and much beer/wine. I look forward to her coming home so we can all three hang out, which is something we do not get to do enough!


I would also like to send out some early birthday wishes to my little sis Jn who turns 34 on Sunday!! Wow, you are getting old!! Doesn't feel old, but i know when I was little the 30's seemed old, but now that I am almost all the way through them, they are not that old Jen. Also Trisha turns 34 next Friday so happy birthday to you both!!

Our entry in the blog world

I must admit I have enjoyed staying up to date with my sisters and their families. The this morning I found a new blogger, and said to myself if Tommy can do it, dammit I have the time to do it also. So here goes nothing! Emily and I have started our life together this past year. And very quickly we bacame proud parents of what we feel is the most beautiful thing ever created. McCamey Rose Compan. She just turned 5 months old Tuesday. Also Emily celebrated her 28th birthday recently.


For me it has been the best year of my life. Emily and I got married and had a child. My golf team won a championship this season, and currently my girls basketball team is 21-0 heading into tonights game vs. Grand Valley. So things have been wonderful!


Currently I am staying home with McCamey. When Emily went back to work, I decided to stay home for a few weeks to be "Mr. Mom". I must admit I love it! To see her do new things and learn new things is truly amazing. I don't mind the dirty diapers so much, but I do hate the scares that come with being a parent. I had my first moment a week or so ago, when Emily was sick. I was watching Camey and went back to the bedroom to get her tiny tummies medicine. I had propped her into the corner of the couch assured that she would be there when I returned mere sceonds later. As I came back into the room, I watched helplessly as she tumbled back and head first onto the floor. As she screamed bloody murder for the next 5 minutes, I was sure that I had caused permanent brain damage.. of course she was fine, but I sure as hell didn't like it!


Anyway we are having a great time being married, being parents and living the dream. We are currently looking to buy a new home, because this one got small very quickly. So we will keep you up to date on that. Hope you all enjoy our blog, and we will have great stories to match those of my sisters and cousin.
