Back home

Well I have been out of the country for about a month on holiday. And while on holiday no one feels like doing anything. Or at lest that is how I am. So now that I'm back let's see if I can get in the groove of bogging again. We will see if it works, because I have got other things that I would like to do. I want to learn Afrikaans. Which takes up a lot of time. I also want to do a bible study which takes at least an hour to do. So with those two things and trying to run a family I am not sure how the blogging thing is going to go. So until next time. Be blessed and may the Lord be with you.

catching a nap

so as everyone with kids knows they dont like to sleep at night. well Ian is for sure one of those kids (and i love it). well though he dont sleep much at night he sure does sleep during the day. i also thought that was a pretty good idea too. a little bit later during the day Chantal thought that she would join into the fun (of sleeping). so what we saw today was a beautiful gift of sleep.

Three Kids

this afternoon Chantal and I took Ian and the girls out for a little walk. it was a beautiful evening. as we made our way down the street we saw these three kids jumping a trampoline (two boys and one girl). the funny thing was these kids had one in the middle while the other two stood there and hit the one in the middle. as we moved closer we saw the the two boys had convinced the girl that she needed to be the one in the middle..... all i could do was laugh. the boys we not hurting the girl it just looked funny as we walked by.... i guess what made it funny was the dialog between Chantal and I..... life looks so much different through the eyes of a parent.

What didn't i see last night?

Well yesterday we got to bring Ian home from the hospital. And let me tell you he came to life!!! He did lots of exercising. He exercised his small little lungs all night ;-).... So what I didn't see last night was sleep. But it wasn't so bad. Once I got him to sleep he would stay down for about 1 hrs. I think once he finally got to sleep he a slept for about 3 hrs. Although once the sun came up he finally took his Que to go to sleep. Which made all of us happy.

Ian's eyes

Today Ian started to open his eyes a little bit more. They are a beautiful dark blue. I know that they will probably change, but for now they are perfect. He doesn't like to open them both at the same time. He'll open one and try the other, but hat just doesn't work for him. So when he opens one eye he looks like he is giving you the "stink eye." who would have thought that someones eyes could be so beautiful.

1st poopy diaper

I saw my son's 1st poopy diaper. And I just want to say here that I was the first one to change Ian's stinky diaper..... Man it has been a good day. I love my son so very much!

My Son Ian

to day was the first day i saw my son Ian. he was born at 1255pm and weighed 9lb 3oz, and is 22.8 in long. my wife went through the whole 11 1/2 hrs of labor with no drugs. she is a real trooper.... there is more i could say but here is what it all boils down to: God gave me a beautiful health baby boy. there were no complications and i walk away at the end of the day a new dad.
