Two Month Visit

Well today Benjamin had his two month visit at the doctors office…this is the one I have been dreading!
He now weighs 13 lbs 9 oz and is 22.5 ins long…..he is getting big! The first part of the visit went very well: he is doing great for his age and following his growth curve to [...]

Credit Worthy (again)

The final major hurdle to normal life in the USA for us has been credit. We don’t need credit, or particularly want it, but there’s a limit to what you can do without it. Without a credit history, cell phones are more expensive (if you buy them from a store, but really who does that?), [...]

The Clock Says its 9:25…

But my body is pretty sure that’s 2 hours slow.
VPT: tubing would have been fun, but I don’t think it woulda been as much fun as a giant hour long snow ball fight in snow up to my knees… You guys rock!

Colic… awesome…

All babies cry — it’s one of the main ways they communicate. But some babies cry more than others do. And some, although they’re healthy, well-fed and well cared for, seem to cry inconsolably. If your baby cries about the same time each day and nothing you do seems to comfort him or her, your [...]

Luv Addict

Family Force 5: How have I not heard this band before?
They’re hilarious, they rock and they’re Christian! Awesome…
From the song “Replace Me”
Desperation
Needing you
Every last breath
I scream for you
Shatter me into a million pieces…Make me new
Crush me, tear me, break me, mold me
Make me what you want me to be
I am ur’s for you to use
so, [...]

It sucks AND it saves baby’s lives…

Thank you, thank you, thank you to our friend Chad Clem for suggesting we try the vacuum.
We haven’t had a good night’s sleep since our trip home to Canada — Benjamin wakes up almost every hour on the hour. Nic takes the brunt of it, but when I work 10-12 hours a day, I’m exhausted [...]

Limp Home Mode

If I’d known about this, it might have been easier to understand what was going on with our car. Despite Nic, and her dad’s, best efforts, the SUV is still out of action.
We’d hoped that a little driving around would warm it up and resolve whatever issue it was working through, so we drove it [...]

The Wise Family Traveling Circus

We got in the car at about 9:00 last Thursday morning, for our 8 hour drive home, without a clue of what to expect from Benjamin. Nic prepared us for almost anything, packed us a lunch in case we couldn’t stop, and had cash on hand in case we had to stop, but it turns [...]
