September Long Weekend...

If you haven't been, you need to go. Beautiful. Just be ready for the wind.

A new Calvin & Hobbes?!?

Is this a new Calvin (a la "Calvin & Hobbes") waiting to happen, or what?!? Just look at that mischievous smile. I think we're in for trouble in a year or two!

Sleeve-Facing

Caleb's been sleeve-facing again! Not bad for a 2-1/2 month old!

Maybe he can even get a Geez promo gig! We'll have to send them the pic...

Parenthood #1

Caleb is growing like crazy. And pooping like nobody's business. He's now almost 2 weeks old, and two days ago was 1/2 pound heavier than birth weight! (That's pretty good... normally babies lose up to 10% of their birth weight in the first week, and regain it by 2 weeks if breastfed, or 10 days if formula fed... Caleb's definitely above average!)

What a mystery to behold! A tiny human that is half me and half my wife, and all child of God. What a responsibility, what an adventure! I'm sure I'm about to be schooled in parenting in the days and weeks to come!

I've now delivered 8 babies in the past 2 weeks at work (obstetrics rotation). My total count is now 33 babies in the past 2 years. I can say with 100% certainty that my boy is the cutest, and my wife is a champion! She handled labor and pushed that boy out better than any other I've seen.

Caleb Micah!

How's this for cool?!? I'm a Dad! My son (still feels weird to say that) was born Jan 11 at 6:05pm and weighed 7lbs 1oz. He's the cutest guy around! Ashley did great and is feeling good. And so far, Caleb likes to sleep during the day and get his picture taken. So far so good! Thanks for your prayers.
Caleb = "Faithful"
Micah = "Who is like God?"
