Day Job is Going Great
I've been at my company for a year now and really settled into my Lead Software Engineer role. I've been doing projects centered around making the whole web application better than it was before; stronger, faster. Along with that I've been helping to mentor and raise up the other developers by sharing what I know and lessons I've learned from my way-too-many years of experience in this industry.
Full House
We've mostly adjusted to life with the full house, since the Goldsboro family had to move in. We traded in the truck for a mini-van that can hold everyone, and traded in my super sexy sports car for a Jeep, because Mrs. H has always wanted one.
It's a little hectic at times, but we've settled into a routine and having the family around is really nice. We try to have meals around our giant table several times a week and that's been lovely.
The (now) 9 year old tried basketball for a short season, but has really taken to baseball since that started up in the spring. This summer we have him in a few different day-camps, including a couple of ones focussed on baseball. He's really improving.
Yes, I'm Still Playing Drums!
I've joined my good bass-player from from Scratch Track working on covers and original music with one of the project's he's involved with. Started practicing with them couple times a week and still playing along with tracks and practicing every day at home.
