Another ridiculously hot day in NJ.  It is 10am and already up to 85 degrees.

For those who follow the World Cup you already know that the US beat Algeria yesterday, 1-0 in like the 91st minute or something.   I didn't actually see the game since I was at work but I was able to follow the scores on my computer, and every time the show the replay I happen to not be in the room.  Their next game is Saturday against Ghana, who hopefully they can beat.  Happily it is not against Germany, that would have been a disaster.

Anyhow, I will be rooting for the USA, though I will more than likely not be watching the game, since I will be helping my brother-in-law move into his new house.  Who by the way have their closing today.

By the way Congratulations to Dave and Cheryl on their new home.  Get your signing hands ready, since that is what you will doing for about 3 hours today.  Though you probably already knew that.  

I am looking forward to seeing the new house.  

On the Grant Ave Gregov home front, we are making some improvements to our house.  First we updated the bathroom, to make it look more modern and next we are investigating what it will take to tear up the carpet in our living room and staircase and make it hardwood floors or possibly a darker carpet, as white does not go well with 2 cats and a baby.  Down the road I am looking at doing some work outside, maybe first will be the pavers that make up the walkway bordering our house.  I want to have them redone, maybe using the same stones, I am not really sure yet.

So I come in to my office today and the first thing that happens is my lights go out.
Now if this was any normal situation, I would just change the light bulb, but since we have maintenance people who take care of our building and we pay them a ridiculous amount of rent, I decided to annoy them and make them change it. So until these idiots show up I am sitting in a half lit office. Great way to start my day.

So I decided to get Mikey's loyalties started early.  He is now officially a Yankee Fan, and he seems to enjoy it.

Hopefully I remember to upload the pictures of him in his soccer uniform, and when the time comes a Jets jersey.

Enjoy.

So this past weekend was Father's Day, and it was great.

We took Mikey for his first real day out on the town.  We walked him around town, where he fell asleep.

He seems to enjoy the outdoors, which I guess is a good thing.  Now that he is sleeping longer and not quite so cranky it is much easier to take him places.

In other Mikey related news, then again isn't all news from the Grant Avenue Gregov's Mikey related, he is now sleeping about 8 hours each night.  We try to get him to bed as close the nine o'clock hour as possible, so that he will wake up later, but that does not always work.

Next week Mikey will be 5 months old.  Wow, has it been 5 months already?

In other news, today is the first day of summer 2010.  Guess that means it is time to officially fire up the BBQ and open the Corona's.

Since Mikey seems to enjoy being outside, we can now start to spend more time in our backyard or on our deck.  Speaking of our back yard.  Several weeks ago I planted our garden, but as of yet the only thing growing is my tomato plants.  I really hope the garden grows good this season, I really enjoy looking down from my deck into a full and fruitful garden. 

There is a lot of things we want to do to our house, to make it better and more up to date.

Right now we are working on the bathroom.  Changing the vanity and repainting.  I want to do something outside, perhaps add a patio with pavers in the back yard next to the deck.  Maybe even change up the walkway.  I am not really fond of those red stones the old owners left us with.  

Anyhow, hope everyone is having a great first day of summer.  And for those of us stuck at work.....DAMN YOU calendar for not moving this day one day back...DAMN YOU!
