where I talk with my inside voice
We took Noah and Josie to the circus today. Noah got the biggest kick out of it, he was so charged up during the show. He kept clapping and bouncing up and down in his seat. Josie, of course, slept through it. The circus has really gone high-tech. The lighting and sound was really excellent, and the special effects (pyrotechnics...
For the first time in my almost twelve years at Boeing, we were given the day off due to the snowstorm that pummeled St. Louis yesterday evening. By comparison to the snowfall I remember as a kid, this storm wasn’t that bad. But it’s the most snow I’ve seen at one time in recent memory. Noah helped me shovel a...
I took today off work and took Noah to the St. Louis Zoo for the first time. A good time was had by all. I think the giraffes were his favorite, but he liked the elephants too. He didn’t really know what to think about the peacock we saw. We rode the train and had some Dippin’ Dots ice cream...
To celebrate our fourth anniversary, I took Dixie to Chicago since she had never been before. It was also our first vacation with our little boy. We weren’t sure how he would travel, but he surprised us both and did really well. We all had a great time. Photos from the trip are available in my album.
Since this was Dixie’s first official Mother’s Day, I wanted to find a special gift to commemorate it, and you won’t find many gifts more unique than a pirolette from TurnYourHead.com. You send them a profile photo of a person, in our case it was our precious little Noah, and they create a special jig for their lathe and literally...
It’s hard to believe that our little man is going to be 5 months old this week — the time just flies by. As a parent, you are torn. On the one hand, you can’t wait to see them grow, learn, and experience new things, but on the other hand you hate to see the time come when you can...
Despite having scheduled ourselves to have labor induced at noon that day, Dixie went into labor at about 2am Saturday morning. Seventeen hours later, at 6:45pm, our beloved son Noah Michael was born — he is 9 lbs, 7 ozs, and 22 inches long! Mother and baby are doing absolutely great! Pictures are now available in my album.
The nursery is finally painted! Dixie bought me an airbrush for Father’s Day with which I was able to add some wispy little clouds to the ceiling and the armoire (which of course is our old entertainment center from the living room!). Check out the latest pictures in my Photo Album.
We’ve reached the half-way point. At twenty weeks our baby is starting to look less like a blob and more like a baby. There’s a lot of work left to be done on the nursery, but we still have time to get it all done. Hang in there, baby! Mommy and daddy can’t wait to meet you.
