To my sympathetic friend…

For those readers who don't know, this week I ended a perfect winning
streak. I retired 2 and 0 with 2 beautiful boys and zero girls. I
went under the knife and barring a longer surgery or lots of paperwork
I am officially out of the reproduction game.

An unknown sympathetic soul sent me this card in the mail today. It
was unsigned but showed compassion and understanding above and beyond
the norm. You are a true friend whomever you may be.

Thank you

 

Haircut

Looking good!

Thanks Jessica Estes

This is a bit blurry but it shows a tight swaddle with the legs free allowing the straps to be secured through the legs. A typical swaddle encases the feet and makes it tricky to strap the baby in properly.

Our friend Jessica told me about this method and advised the tight swaddle arms in, in his swing, to get him to nap during the day. Though this type of swaddle dissolves rapidly in his bed, he doesn't seem to be able to wiggle much in his swing and he has slept over 2 hours each afternoon the last two days giving us a much needed break during the day.

Outing

It's a bit tricky these days going anywhere but we were going stir
crazy and decided to take a trip down to Crown Center. We checked out
a small but fun Lego exhibit, ate at the ever-popular Fritz's where We
had our food delivered via train and then checked out the Toystore and
let Ryan play with the trains there. It was a great time.

Oooooooooooooo cheese

Deck Stairs

Jessi finally received her long overdue Mothers Day present. Her dad
came over and after 11 hours we had completed stairs on the other side
of the deck. Her dad did an amazing job and the new stairs are super
convenient as they allow us a 5 step journey to the top of the hill
near the playset rather than a 16 step walk to the bottom near the
pool. Once we stain everything later this summer it should look like
it was there from the beginning.

Great Grandma

We had a nice visit with the grandparents at the hospital yesterday.
Grandad is in rehab and doing much better. I took advantage of the
opportunity to snap a picture of Seth and Grandma.
