"The credit belongs to the man
who is actually in the arena,
who knows the great enthusiasms,
the great devotion,
and who spends himself
in a worthy cause." - Teddy Roosevelt
So I can remember as a kid watching the movie, “Flight of the Navigator” and seeing this Robot who came and brought food to the boy that had traveled through time, saying “Pardon me, Coming through!” And then there was “Short Circuit” with Johnny 5, R2D2 and CP3O from “Star Wars,” Alex Murphy in “RoboCop” (at 7 years old, this was a freaky movie) and who could forget the machines taking over in “Terminator.”
But I never thought I would own a Robot… until now.
Alesha got a new toy… an iRobot Roomba 535, and all I can say is WOW! This thing vaccums when you hit the clean button and when the battery gets low, it re-docks itself on the charging base. And, did I mention, we don’t have to do anything but hit the “clean” button.
So we went on vacation to Gulf Shores this past week. Here is a video and some pictures from the vaction. Oh, and Jay turned 1 this week. Its hard to believe that it has been a year since we met our little man.
I’m pretty sure he thinks its a big bath tub, big nough for others to play at the same time. Noe-the-less, this kid loves the water! I wonder what he’s going to do when we get to the beach?
So last night Jay decided he was going to walk. He’s been taking steps here and there, and standing without realizing it. But last night he figured it out. Now don’t get me wrong, he is still very woobly, but let’s face it, so is dad. So here’s the video.
