It has been 16 Days since I have last updated our Blog and it seems like a lot has happened since then. Hopefully I will be able to keep it all straight (and in chronological order).First off, on June 16th, we celebrated Kai's 5 month birthday. On his birthday, we had a photo shoot and a couple of his pictures were with his monkey "growth chart". They may not show the growth length quite as well as my pictures, but these pictures are awesome, they really show that the professional photographer is much more talented than I am.
Right after we returned from vacation, our nanny called in sick for 3 whole days! Stephanie was too busy at work to stay home with Kai so I got to play "manny" for for a few days. I was also feeling a little under the weather myself and had a few items at work that I needed to deal with (since we were on vacation the prior week) so I was pretty happy on Wednesday afternoon when I got to go back to the office. Kai survived and I think he enjoyed his time with dad, but we know he was glad when mom relieved dad on Wednesday afternoon!

Last weekend (June 27 - June 29), the Indiana Lesnets were not in Indiana anymore. I had a work trip down to the Florida Keys for a golf tournament. My team was not very good but fortunately, the other teams were lousy as well and we came in 3rd. I got a cool trophy and I have it proudly displayed in my office at work. Since I was out of town for the weekend, Stephanie and Kai went to Bowling Green, Ohio to visit Grandma and Grandpa Eridon. Kai met some more of his cousins at a cookout and learned some new sounds and re-discovered his tongue while he was there (probably learned that from the cousins). In other weekend news, Grandma Lesnet turned 60 on Saturday the 28th. Happy Birthday mom!!
On Monday of this week, I played in the Hacker's Golf Outing with 11 other men from church. We played 36 holes with a different game for each 9 holes. Last year, I won my entry money back and a $25 gift card for closest to the pin. This year I didn't win a thing, but I had a great time.
This week, we had our 1,000 hit on our Blog! Thanks for reading! Keep checking back often, it makes the counter go up faster!!
This weekend has also been very hectic. Stephanie and I started cooking on Friday and we have been continuing to cook throughout the weekend. We have made enough food for 3 months worth of meals. We learned that we cannot make any more than 3 months at a time though because our chest freezer is completely full!
On Friday, we received an interesting text message from our nanny telling us that she is quitting to move back home and she was giving us 1 weeks notice. This really rocked our world because we were very comfortable with her and the boys (we share her with another family) really liked her as well. We are still in shock that she is leaving, but we are even more in shock that she quit via text message (seriously) and that she only gave 1 week.
Yesterday, we finally broke down and bought a Dyson vacuum cleaner. We got the DC 25, which is an all floors type with the ball steering mechanism. Very sweet! I was going to post a picture, but a website is worth something like 1,000,000 pictures, so check it out here.
Kai may be sitting up on his own. We're not sure of the definition of "sitting up" so we aren't going to go on record with it yet. Kai can sit up unassisted for a long time, look around, and even play for a while. If he gets startled, he falls over though. Here are some pictures of our boy sitting up...maybe. If you have any official definitions of "sitting up", please comment so we can know if our boy is a certified rock star or just a regular old rock star. He's also started getting up on all 4's this weekend. He can roll almost anywhere he wants to go, I don't think we're quite ready for him to start crawling yet!!
Kai was dedicated at church today. Grandma and Grandpa Eridon came down to witness the occasion. Grandpa Lesnet had to work this weekend so they weren't able to make it. The morning started off well and we even made it to church early. Stephanie was giving her parents a tour of the new church building while I stayed with Kai and talked with some friends. Kai decided to poo (everywhere but in his diaper, including through to the car seat for the first time ever) . Stephanie had the diaper bag, so I ended up covered in poo and so did Kai's outfit to be dedicated in. So..luckily we had an extra outfit in the diaper bag and Kai was dedicated in a Purdue onesie (and God said "it was good"). Grandpa Eridon video taped the dedication and I think he did a very good job. We got a couple of pretty good pictures today that we have posted below. We also have uploaded Grandpa Eridon's video of Kai's dedication. Enjoy!
Then Hezekiah said, "You have now dedicated yourselves to the LORD. Come and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the temple of the LORD." So the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings... - 2 Chronicles 29:31

I have to say, in the family pictures with Stephanie, Chad and Kai, it certainly does look like he's about to poop all over everything. I was, however, very impressed with his behavior at the dedication. All the other babies looked as if they were having major attacks of ants in their pants, but Kai was looking pretty calm throughout the whole thing.
Sorry, he's just a regular old rock star. :-) Just kidding! Keep the updates coming!
