What a wonderful helper!


What's that Nilson? You want to help? What about Timmy, is he still in the well?

Yes Nilson, you sure are a great help!


You are so helpful! You are holding it in place so well!


Yes, that really is you holding that up with your back!


Tahdah! Look, it's a changing table! You sure do look exhausted after holding that table up for so long Nilson!

We were able to put together the changing table that we picked up the other day. It sure was a pain to put together! I would say that it was close to the pleasure level of dragging your fingers over a chalk board.

Look what the crib stork braught home!

It is a brand new all improved, piece of furniture made in Vietnam! It's a bird! It's a plane, No! It's a super crib! (well, not really super, but it is a crib for Andrew) And what does that mean ladies and gentlemen? That there were lots and lots of shorter folk in Vietnam who made this for us! How thoughtful is that?


If you notice, it also came with a feline from somewhere too. (just kidding, it's really our cat Penny) She felt the need to inspect the crib and see if it was up to her standards as a cat. Needless to say, it has passed the Penny test and there was much rejoicing! (Halfheartedly) Yea..... And in a totally unrelated story, there were no Holy Hand Grenades ever used while assembling this bed. An enchanter named Tim thought about showing up, but he said he had an engagement with some explosions or something. I'm not quite sure what that means, or who invited him.
Georgette's appointments now are a week apart. It is now crunch time, well, not really but uh, it sounded good? Things are going along perfectly. Georgette's health is doing well, and Andrew is doing just fine himself. His heartbeat is steady and around the 150's. He is getting much more active and is now letting me feel his actions.
Andrew will move tons just for Georgette and every time I put my hand on her belly to feel him, he stops. It's like he's going to get in trouble. Georgette would say, 'Just wait till your father gets home!' Either that or he's not scared of me anymore, which I hope... I don't know how to describe what it feels like to feel him move. Part of me wonders if this is all real, or if it is some dream and I will wake up soon. Part of me questions whether or not I am ready to be a father and provide for this small family we have. Then I think about my nephew and all that I hear about him and I get excited.
I get excited to hold him for the first time, to see him smile for the first time, or smile at all. I wonder what he's going to look like. If he's going to have this enormous bumpy head like mine, or if he'll have a normal head like Georgette's. What color is his hair going to be? What color will his eyes be? How much fun it is going to be to be able to play with him and make him laugh. What will he be interested in? Cars like Eli, or something I really like. Scientific stuff like Astronomy, or physics, or electronics or something like that.
We were out and about and drove by a park where there were a lot of people practicing for baseball. It reminded me of when I was a strappling young lad and I started playing. (I can't believe it's been that long ago. It seems like I was doing it just a few years ago.) I enjoyed playing baseball so much and I wonder if Andrew will enjoy playing. I wonder about so much sometimes. It is my hope, though, that he learns from my mistakes and gets a chance to make some of his own that I haven't already made.


And Now For Something Completely Different!
This was taken in Oregon when Georgette and I were on our honeymoon.

Anywho, it is now time for bed. Murray's love bed and I'm a bed bear, so I do care, so I sleep there.

P.S. I think someone has hijacked my indentation for my paragraphs. Perhaps I should report it to the Tab Key Enforcement Agency. There has to be some sort of standards!
