The Baby's

He is amazing in every way. I am sooo excited to start this chapter of my life. Here is a sample of what is to I am sure going to be a plethora of photos.

Came across these

I was looking through my pictures today and came across these, they were taken back in November.



See no, speak no, hear no......


Awe Trudi and Shawn.



What can I say, I am a mamas boy..




This is Sam and my Mom. Both lovely ladies.

Its getting closer

So here are some photos of the construction we've been doing.


You can see here the sliding door and the old closet.



Here the new door is in. The closet is framed in and the old closet is going to be a bathroom someday.


Here we have the sheet rock up.


Ahh the wood floors are in and it looks good.




This the hallway before and after.




We have pain in the master and the base boards and casings are done. I put the crib together yesturday (talk about making the obvious hit home) I hope to have the closet organizer done tonight, who knows we may actually be back in the bedroom before we have the baby.

what did I get myself into?

First off let me start by suggesting not doing major renovations six weeks before you first child, or any child for that matter, is born. With a lot of work, we have just the home stretch to go. Today we got our flooring in. It looks amazing. So we have finish work such as baseboards and casing to do, then we get to move back into our room!

I will try to post some photos soon of the transformation.

Pictures from Disney on Ice

So here are a few photos from the night.

This first one of Chloe is cool because the effect was done with the camera. I had a long exposure but the flash stopped her motion some what.



You can tell here that she was enjoying herself.




I didn't edit many of Lyndsee but I have a quite a few of her. She was closer to me and less people in between us. What a cutie huh?



Rafiki. Nuff said.

Da' seaweed is always greener.... Why do I have that song stuck in my head?


Can't be Disney with out this guy.




These two were some crazy skilled skaters! There was a spin they did I thought she was going to splatter brains on the ice or something. I was impressed to say the least.




Pumba its a family show..... "Hakuna mata, what a wonderful phrase"


Every time Goofey cam out he fell. And got loads of laughs for it. Was I so mean as a child to laugh at the plite of a poor soul on the ground? When in rome.....



We had a great time and I enjoyed the first half far better than the second half. I also got nausiated when I saw a lady in front of me drop 40 bucks on 2 cotton candies and 2 snow cones.

What did you do this weekend?

I went to Disney on Ice with the in-laws, we had a good time as usual. We road trax downtown and walked around the Gateway after wards. What a nice relaxing and different evening. I am glad we could get together.


The best part of the weekend I didn't have to do. The wife and mother in-law are very talented an this is what happened while I was at work on Friday.




Great job ladies. Soooo close, yet sooooooooooooooooo far.

The nursery in stages

So I have some more stages of the nursery's progress. We hope to have all the painting done this weekend. Then we just have to get the floors and closets done.


This was last Sunday, we got started at 8am


This was around lunch time here, we have the door up and the trim over the bead board.

This was 8:30 Pm. It was a really long day but we finally got the crown molding up.


New camera angle, so you can see the floor, or lack there of better. We have the blue all finished but need to add the clouds. Also its just primer on the lower half so we will be painting white on there.



Nothing gets the anxiety meter running like getting a room ready for a permanent change in your life. I am fortunate to have many friends and family around to help with advice and hand me downs. At the moment there are two parts to my personality, one that is ready to be dad and can wait for the baby. The other can wait, still likes the lack of responsibility and his wife's belly!
