I don't know that I blogged about this, but a few months ago I switched phones. I went from a Treo 650 (I loved it!) to a Razr V3i. Yeah, I know they aren't really the same type of phone, but I was assigned a Blackberry for work, and I didn't want to carry two PDA phones. So I went for a nice slim phone that slips easily in and out of pockets and has the features I want strictly for my phone: 1.2 MP camera, bluetooth, storage, and quad band. I got all that and more in my V3i, in a nice small package. So I use the Crackberry for PDA stuff, since I manage all of that via Outlook/Exchange, it's all synchronized.
I bought the phone from a feller on eBay - a Canadian feller. And as it turns out, the phone was branded for Rogers. Meh. All this time I haven't been able to browse the net (which is ok since work pays for it on me Crackberry), but most importantly, I haven't been able to send or receive picture messages. Well, no longer!
Yesterday I passed a T-Mobile store, and happened to walk in and ask since I remembered - they said to call TMo customer service and they will send the settings to the phone. I called them up, and bam, after 20 minutes, I can now send (and receive!) picture mail. Which means more phontograph blogging - so I know you'll be happy to hear that.
Today we took the kids down to the Georgia Renaissance Fest, which is actually pretty cool. The buildings are permanent, so it has a feeling of, uh, permanence. At any rate, here's the crew with the King and Queen. The King was sporting a gold-plated cup, er, codpiece. Very unnerving.
She's not an expert - yet. But she can get to where she wants to go. Lord help us...
No, I didn't put her up to this - in fact, I was at work while Mom and Karyn took some pictures of Maya at the helm of a laptop.
I just realized I haven't posted in almost a month. Sorry about that. I promise I'll be better. News? Not so much just yet. Kids are just a hair over 9 months old now, and we have a pediatrician appointment tomorrow. And, Steph and I are headed to JazzFest on Thursday, which will be a welcome break!
I'll try to get some pix up here pronto.
This is Maya's latest trick - when she gets up from the crib by pulling up on our hands, she likes to stand unassisted on the crib railing.
Sorry about the blurry pix of Devin in the helm - he was quite taken with it and was bouncing all over the place. Plus, a few bonus pre-helm pix.
Today we picked up the orthosis from the orthotist to correct the positional plageocephaly that both Maya and Devin are experiencing. They were both measured to have "mild to moderate" PP, and the HMO is happily picking up the bill at $3,000 a piece. The helmets are quite cute - we were all surprised. Maya and Devin are still in the trial stages, tomorrow they will have the helms on for 2 hours total. By Tuesday, they will be up to 23 hours a day.
Sorry I haven't been posting lately. I've actually been out of the country, in Trinidad again. I must say this trip was actually much more productive than last time, and I got to see a little more nightlife than usual, both from a rural and urban perspective.
I'm actually about ready to retire, since I have to rise at 5am to catch a flight home. I'm planning to write a post or two about the week's events, including a boat ride into Caroni Swamp and venturing out to The Wave and various other hang-outs and around Port of Spain. Stay tuned!
