rocking...

It's what I do these days...I rock.  Not to Guns N Roses anymore, but at 33, I do still rock.  Even at 4 AM, I'm still rockin' and have been since 2 AM.  I am thankful to my newborn son for that. He is keeping me young, although I think Garth Brooks said it best when he said, "I'm much too young to feel this damn old."  I have decided to be thankful for this fussiest of all babies, because he is forcing me to slow down, let things around me fall apart, and just ROCK.  It's the only thing that calms us both.  So, in case you are wondering why I don't call, email, or post on my blog anymore, it's because I am way too busy rockin'!  

Twilight...

I don't know which I enjoyed more, the movie, or Eric Snider's interpretation of the movie!  

(Thanks so much for the 4 AM entertainment, Rebecca!!!)

we finally figured out how to get her to read...

Ian's first bath

I must have given away  my baby bathtub, but my big stainless steel bowl worked great!  Don't you love the well placed bubbles?

This first bath is a good job for Dad!

He didn't love it, but he sure smelled yummy when it was all through!

welcome to the planet

Trick or treat???  This year it was definitely a TREAT!  We welcomed our baby BOY, October 31st at 1:33 PM.  He was 9 lbs. 1 oz. and 21 1/2 inches long!  We are thrilled that he is here and that we are home from the hospital healthy and happy!  This is the best I could do so far on pictures.  I will keep them coming!  

Welcome, Welcome!!!
