"Burrito Baby" or "Taco Brocko"


Liam is great. Mom is great. Dad is doing well and getting into the swing of things. We just had Bethany's folks and brother and my parents in town. We're going to try this parenting thing out on our own for a bit... and by on our own, I mean, with the help of 50 people from our church who are helping with meals and offers to babysit.


I play in a ukulele club in Ann Arbor once a month. I was interviewed for a report that is going to be aired on NPR 6-1-09. The report is a bit boring, but at 2:32 into the interview she used a brief clip of me playing the ukulele solo. My comments did not make the cut, even though, I tried to be funny.

7 Days-ish to go!


Nursery


39 Weeks


38 Weeks



Hi Everybody,

We have one more week until the due date. That doesn't mean it will get here on the due date, but it better (fist shaking). Bethany has been surprisingly nice to me. The ratio of niceness to dilation is probably inversely correlated. I will be sure to bring this up during labor. It should go over well.

I have a few pictures to update...

We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the baby. Bethany is feeling good during the day but the baby gets real active when she goes to bed.

We're planning on bringing the computer to the hospital so that we can post pictures.
