Action is the star.

We had a fairly good weekend here. Matts company, Allume just got bought by a company called Smith Micro. You can read about it here: Smith Micro acquires Allume.

Matt is optimistic about it, which is good. Of course, since he's director of Product Management and he's in charge of the most profitable product, the acquisition meant some real PR work on his part. So, long story short, he was not at Family Swim on Friday. I know he really wanted to be there. There will be other FS days though, so it was no real loss. Anyway, Henry and I got in the pool together on Friday (my sisters watched Sammy) and he and I had some quality bonding time. It was fun.

For the rest of the weekend Matt and I managed to get out and catch a couple of the latest movies out right now. Friday night we got to see Batman Begins. We both thought it was really good. Matt thought it was the best of all the Batman movies but, that he couldn't stop seeing Christian Bale as the little kid from Empire of the Sun. With me, seeing all that hunky muscle, there no way I was getting him mixed up with a little boy. :)

The second movie we saw was on Saturday afternoon, War of The Worlds. We both liked it but, my sister and I had a real problem with the ending. Although, I wouldn't necessarily agree with Roger Eberts Review. He was being a bit too harsh on the aliens and the whole darn invasion. Matt thinks he's "politically motivated" - with all the recent Cruise hoopla going on, it makes me wonder...I'm curious to know what others think about this. So if you've seen the movie let me know.

As for Fourth of July we joined the rest of our pyromaniac neighbors and proceeded to litter the street with Fireworks. Our fireworks were small compared to some of our neighbors who obviously didn't get their fireworks from the local school or the Youth Soccer League. Some of the fireworks rivaled the shows people pay for! What a spectacle. Henry ran around and yelled the whole time. He and Liam, one of our neighbor's kids threw those little balled up explosive things that pop when they hit the ground. While Sammy and Callum (Liam's little brother) just stared stunned. Every once in a while Sam would say "cool" but, for the most part he just stared.

All in all we had a good weekend. It's going to be a short but, busy week. See you later.
