kids

Kaitlyn and Jonathan
as we were entering this new chapter in our lives, we were really curious how hannah and kaitlyn would take to the addition of their new baby sister and brother. with hannah being 5, she was a bit more predictable. we pretty much thought she would be a little mother and want to hold and feed. we were pretty much right on.

but kaitlyn not even being 2 we were a bit curious how she would take the change. much to our surprise, she has taken this all very well. i guess the epitome of it all, and i wish i had a picture, is when she sits down unexpectedly next to one of us and holds out her arms saying “me, me.” knowing that she wants to hold them is the cutest, but then you also have the desire to hold the bottle, or coming up to pat on the back for a burp, or letting us know that the baby is crying, or getting a paci when one is crying, or climbing on the bed to help change a diaper, or handing us wipes. she even knows where to point when you ask her where her brother or sister is. the list is endless and i love it!

i guess somebody has to work on concepts to make them happen, but it is a bit odd that somebody here at BU is trying to work out how space travel on Star Trek happens!
Warp Drive Engine Would Travel Faster Than Light

it’s some pretty mind blowing concepts. maybe next they’ll work on beaming up scotty!

blog? what blog?

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

you mean i still have one? only a month or so and it will have been 1 year since my last post. wow! and a lot, i mean A LOT has happened in that 11 months. of course, i didn’t have any readers before, but who could be reading this now besides spammers?

so what does A LOT consist of?

  • selling a house
  • buying a house
  • starting Hannah in soccer
  • Hannah’s first day of school
  • moving
  • remodeling and painting
  • finding out my wife is pregnant
  • changing positions at work
  • finding out my wife is pregnant with TWINS!
  • discovering one of my twins will carry the family name! (a boy!)
  • all kinds of fun sicknesses and ear infections
  • more soccer
  • rearranging the new house so that 4 kids will fit
  • selling my favorite truck my wife bought me
  • shopping for and buying a huge suburban to hold all the kids
  • repainting
  • swimming lessons
  • dana getting on facebook
  • soccer camp
  • awaiting the call from dana to take her to the hospital

i guess that’s just a few of the exciting things happening in 11 months.

now dana’s going to ask why i even bothered to post on the blog and why i didn’t put it in facebook. she wonders who has blogs anymore.
