Over the River and Through the Woods

We made it to Roswell for Pearce's first road trip (a few weeks ago). Everybody got to spend some time with superboy. Mom and Dad just called today and said that they were coming to visit Saturday whether we liked it or not. Well, Pearce has informed us that it is just fine with him so we had better like it.

Compare and Contrast

Same outfit six weeks apart. Wow. Babies are so amazing. Pearce just keeps getting cuter and cuter.

Pearce and Daddy just hanging out after meal time.

Open House

Oh what a day. I have started life as a middle school teacher. Open House is tonight (well, has already started). It is going to be a new experience. They tell me that the parents actually come to this thing. That will be new coming from an inner city high school.

Raw Hide

Keep those doggies moving. We have been going non-stop since the middle of last week getting the move accomplished. We are still going 90 to nothing. After today we should be done with the abode in Calhoun. Pearce is taking it all in stride (especially since he got to spend the night at Nana's). The cat's are getting acclimated to the new digs. More about the move later.

Soccer Practice

Mommy got the soccer ball rattle out and Pearce was watching it so closely we (Pearce and I) decided to have a little practice session. With dribbling and juggling and heading.

Happy Day

I call the one on the right the Baby Jedi picture. That boy of ours is the cutest little booger out there. I thought I'd share with y'all.

By the way I finally got a job for next year. I'll be at Woodland Middle School teaching inclusion on the 8th grade level. I will also be the head boys soccer coach. That is a huge load off my mind. Our minds.

The Boy is Pretty Special

Pearce is 4 weeks old today. He is just the most awesome little dude ever. He'll be a month old on Saturday. Mom and Dad are adjusting to the new reality. Pearce went to the chiropractor on Wednesday and we are going back tomorrow.

We are also going to string some beans and pickle some cuc's and peppers tomorrow. I'll probably make another batch of zucchini relish and a few more zucchini fritatas. Roy has grown some huge zucchini at my instigation. Kristi has even made two batches of zucchini bread she might even be talked into another batch or two. How 'bout that loaf pan, cool huh.

Some Gratuitous Cuteness

Just click on the baby for more cuteness.

North Avenue Trade School Lovin'

Pearce's love for his cousin Sam knows no bounds. He even uses the quilt Sam gave him (as a quilt even). Sam will do well with babies. He willingly took Pearce in his arms after I showed him how to hold him. Sam even willingly observed the changing of a stinky. Suzy needs to come back soon so she can get in on the lovin'. She lovingly didn't horn in on Sam's baby holding.

K-P Duty

Kennedy meets Pearce. We tricked Ken into holding Pearce. He refused to hold Pearce in his arms. Kennedy crossed his legs so we couldn't lay Pearce on his lap. Well, that was just the perfect prop and the rest is history (or at least on the video below)

First Use

Pearce used his crib for the first time today. It swallows him up. We thought y'all would like to see him in action (or in action). Lady's thanks again for the crib fixin's.

King of His World

What a beautiful baby boy he is. Yes, he does rule his world and will for months to come. He is just a joy and the doctor says he is growing just fine. He is 21 inches and 8.2 pounds as of 6/26.

Pearce Playing Gnome

Isn't this the cutest little gnome you have ever seen? That was back when he was only a few minutes old. He is almost 14 days old. Wow!

Oy!!! W'at Chew Lookin' At

Pretty Baby Pictures

Found that thumb at last. Now I gotta do something about those fingers.


Hey, ya like my soccer gown. Just wait till it fits.

The Joys of My Life

I am still pinching myself. Pearce is really here. He is just so amazing. Right now he is laying in a basket on the coffee table and I can't take my eyes off of him. Pearce is just such a precious and adorable little June Bug.

Shout It From the Mountain Tops

Pearce is here. Pearce is Home.

Its That Time

When we leave the house tonight we won't come back without a baby. This is our last hours before parenthood. It's awesome and I can't wrap my head around it and probably won't till Pearce has woken me up for the fifty-millionth time.

We'll go pick up Reba in a few minutes. Get a last picture of Kristi pregnant and a last picture of us without a child. Then it is off to Floyd Regional for the last leg of the big adventure.

Next time you here from me there will be pictures.

The End is in Sight

We have a definite plan going now. The doctor set a time for us to go in to the hospital and start the process of inducing labor. We check in tomorrow night at 10:00 for some preliminary stuff and start with the petosin [sic] in the morning.

So, Pearce may make his appearance by weeks end. Stay tuned for more.

I'm Gonna Sell, Sell, Sell

In cleaning up to move I have discovered a large number of things that we don't need anymore. I also like extra money wherever I can get it. So I have decided to start a permanent garage sale. Go take a look at Andrew's Garage Sale, I'll wait... OK. What did you buy. It's amazing what you find that you don't need. Especially when you are having a baby at the same time you are moving.

We are now at P - 1 and counting. Tomorrow is P Day. We are so ready for the boy to be here. I can't wait to hold Pearce in my arms. Kristi is so ready to share him with me. Remeber to look here for pictures.
