    Daddy, why doesn't this button do anything when I press it? :p
    You may also want to consider tethering them to the wall.
    The speakers, that is!

    That’s a 70” art piece... looks stellar with the blue adjacent to it.

    Of balls? Haha. Kidding

    I don’t think tubes and children's playroom is a good idea. I would recommend solid state.

    So after we unpacked the focals and I brought the boxes downstairs, I bathed Henry and Emma.

    I proceed to remove Henry from the tub in a towel... I felt warmth come all over me... hmmm

    Urine.

    Thank you.

    Haha. He marked you! Still good you did not have to leave immediately.

    I normally go home for lunch to hug and kiss my baby daughter. A little over a two years ago I was in this huge meeting with the big guys. I decided to drive home to see the daughter really quick and leave. Change her diapers. She did more than just add warmth. I had no time to change pants and had to leave immediately.

    Went back into the meeting with these board members... after 10 minutes they said, do you smell something? I was like. Uh no??? Lol
