Is it Friday? Yeah I guess it is. I didn’t notice, what with all the excitement around here the last couple of days. Still, that little clock up in the corner of the screen says so, so it must be true. What that means, of course, is that I take a few minutes to post […]

yay. Now the real fun begins. ….later that day So, we’ve been home a few hours now, and things are settling in. The cats are tolerant of the new presence, and unsurprisingly, Jersey is very happy, as she has a little person to look out for again, our old dog has perked up again. Anyway, […]

-since we’re all feeling a bit better today, I’ll actually write something rather than just slap up some cute baby pictures….but don’t worry, you’ll get one of those, too- The kids and I got an earlier start this morning over to the hospital, as we were meeting Nana and Aunt Jen along the way at […]

Colleen’s got the anticpation twitterpation as well; and while I won’t […]

So, it’s almost ten pm on a Thursday. The wife and the cat are asleep next to me on the couch. I’m going to have to wake her up to get her back to the bedroom pretty soon; she’s not going to like that, but in the end, it’s going to be for the best. […]

Tuesday.  that is all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIFER!!!!  …oh, still in a holding pattern on the baby – we’ll let everyone know.
