CC hasn't been very good with keeping this Blog up-to-date, so I have decided to pirate it from her.
Not too much exciting stuff is going on with us. Here is the quick run down.
1. Cole started at a new school. He adjusted really quickly and enjoys going to his new school. As a bonus it is really close to home, so no more long car rides for him.
2. I think CC has started her third trimester, everything has been a-okay so far, hopefully this one will incubate a longer than Cole did.
3. CC and I have both been crazy busy with work, which is good, I guess, seeing the state the ecomomy is in.
4. We are going to New Mexico this weekend to party it up with Rob and Company now that they are back stateside.
Thats about it. Hopefully I will have more time than CC and will keep up with this thing, but who knows, it may be another 4 months before the next update. I suggest that you check back a few times a day, just to make sure.

Has it really been 3 months?
Since I last updated this thing. Well, here are the high, and lowlights:
1. In late Nov, I had a CT scan that came back clear- Thanks to God.
2. In early Dec, my grandmother in CT passed away. She was 99 and was still living on her own. She is truely an inspiration to me and she will be missed.
3. In mid Dec, Cole, Mike and I went to Jamaica for vacation. We had the best time. Cole still talks about wanting to go back. There are pictures at the Flicker site- click on "More Swabo pictures" to the right.
4. For Christmas we had lots of Mike's familiy down to visit and we had a blast. Cole still doesn't like Christmas or Santa.
5. When I got back to work in Jan, there was a shooting at worka dn we were in lockdown for 4 hours. As it truned out, some dumb lady actually brought a gun to work and shot herself in the foot.
6. The next week, Pfizer announced a bunck of layoffs and, thankfully, our group, Biologics, was safe.
7. Two weeks later, Pfizer announced the merger with Wyeth which has a huge biologics group. About 1000 people vs. our 300. They have had products on the markets for about 15 years which we are just trying to do now. Not good. There is not much optimism in our group about the future. The deal is final at the end of Sept. so we won't know anything until then.
8. We are awaiting , yet another cousin, on 19Feb!! Good luck Jen and Rob!!
9. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!!
Well, that pretty much gets you up-to-date. Hope all is well with you out there.

I wanted to share some tidbits about Cole's involvement in the political process. Cole really got into the spirit of things. We listen to alot of NPR and whenever they would talk about Obama or McCain (which is always), he would start talking about them. Mike got a McCain bobblehead at a minor league baseball game this summer and Cole sai, " John McCain, I have to change your diaper". And then he told McCain he was "in trouble" and put him in time-out-- IN THE REFRIGERATOR. And still even now, whenever we open the door to get a snack, there is John McCain nodding approvingly at us. Then we took Cole to the polls when we voted and he cried when we left saying he "want to do America again". Check out the video below (I cut it off a little too soon- sorry).

Soupy-Man
Its a bird. Its a plane. Nope, its Colden!. Cole pronouces Superman as Soupy-man (really funny to us). He really got into the spirit of it this year. We are fortunate though that by the next morning he had forgotten all about the candy he had gotten!
Cole is getting really good at counting- up to twenty and can do his ABCs really well. His latest and greatest is to tell us "I'll be back in a minute". Nothin else to report from here- just work, eat, play, sleep. I posted a bunch of pics on the ficker site so check them out if you want (see the link to the right- More Swabo pics). Peace.
Oh yeah- Gas here is $1.93 (if it goes much lower, I think people might bathe in it 8-) and it flurried this morning. Booooo.

Congrats and Best compliment EVER
Congratulations to our friends, Brent and Abby, who tied the knot this past weekend in Chicago. We wish them all the happiness and laughter life has to offer.
We brought Cole with us to the wedding and we had a blast. He wore a little suit and tie which was sooo adorable! After I was finished getting ready, Cole paid me the best compliment of my life. I walked downstairs in my dress and Cole looks at me and said "Mommy looks like a princess." OMG- my heart melted right there. Who would have ever guess that after 36 years the nicest compliment came from my 2 year old. Ah, life is sweet.
