15 Things I Love About Being a Dad
It’s 2:15 in the morning and I am posting a blog because Graden (18 months) refuses to go to sleep. Lay him down and he screams so loud that I am convinced he is trying to wake up the other 5 people who live in this house. So, I’m sitting here watching Barney, thinking about [...]
Photos
Jill had a photo session last night . Here is what we came up with:
Photo’s w/Sophie and Graden
All these photos were taken by our daughter Erica who was there for the entire birth process. I’m so proud of her as she has become quite the photographer and even under the pressure of babies being born, she still took some great shots.
The Chair
When I moved to Latham I didn’t realize that there would be a piece of furniture that would have such a dramatic affect on my life and become such a piece that I bought it from the church when I was appointed to another church. The chair is not that special in what looks like [...]
My Prayer
Thank you God for two beautiful babies. Thank you for all their fingers and toes and thank you for their smiles (even though I think it is brought on by gas). Thank you God for the way Graden opens one eye to make sure Dad is still holding him and thank you for the way [...]
Here We Go
As a child, I could never sleep on Christmas Eve and this is just like waiting on Christmas morn. Erica is sleeping on the sofa in our room so that when we get up at 5:00 all she has to do is get in bed with Noah. I’m so excited and nervous. Tomorrow is the [...]
Hospital Trip
Wow, what an intense couple of day’s it has been! Yesterday, Jill had a Dr.’s appointment and he sent her straight to the hospital. She was having contractions and the doctor wanted them stopped. So, off we go to Huntsville Hospital and Jill gets hooked up to all the monitors. They tried a two shots [...]
Jill’s Ultrasound
We went for an ultrasound today and got to see the babies. They are both about 3 pounds and are doing very well. We took all the kids, Jill’s mom and dad, and the Godmother for this appointment. It was an exciting time for all and it looks like we will be having an ultrasound [...]
Hospital Run
This afternoon as I was watching qualifying for Daytona, Jill entered the room and said, “I’ve just gotten off the phone with the doctor and he wants me to go to the hospital.” After that, a mad dash to get dressed, call my 2:00 appointment to make other arrangements and then get a babysitter. Then [...]
Felt Graden Move
Last night was pretty special. It was the first time that Graden kicked Daddy. Graden seems to be facing out and Sophie must be going toward the inside. So, all of Graden’s kicks and movements are seen and felt. Tonight was the first time that I really felt him move and it was the most [...]
Diapers for the Twins
Noah and I had a “Man’s night out” tonight and went to Sam’s. We got a case of diapers and wipes for the new babies. Mom went out to eat with Aunt Tammy and did some Christmas shopping. It was quite fun.
