I’ve been able to take several days off for the new baby. It has been great to be able to just spend time with the family, hold my little girl, and enjoy our time. She is such a little doll, and I could stare at her for hours. It’s amazing though, how much time slips away when you’re not on a deadline or anything.
We’re sleeping pretty good overall, although last night was hard. Still, it is easy to sleep in with baby and get going slowly in the day. Since my wife homeschools the boys, we’re not on a school deadline either. Spanish and math has a variable start time!
I thought I’d be able to blog a little more and get other things like some actual *gasp* writing done. Not yet, but I will be working on this the next few days. I don’t intend on turning this into a purely family or baby oriented blog. However, a writer will write about what is on their mind.
So I’ll see y’all around. I’m still here. Just enjoying our blessings, like the picture below:

Words fail me.
I am so stunned by the grace of God and the goodness He shows to us. How can such a tiny little thing, I’ve known for only a day, totally steal my heart so?
Beccy and I are proud to announce the birth of our daughter, Micaiah Mae, on 10/29/2008 at 12:30 pm. We’re still working on how to spell “Micaiah”, but we know we’ll call her Micah.
She weighed 8 lbs. 7 oz. and was 20.5 inches long. As you can see, she has a head full of dark hair. The nurses yesterday in the nursery would look at me, look at her, and ask if I was sure if I really was her daddy. She is doing wonderfully. Everyone is in love with her already.
Beccy is doing well, just recovering from the C-section. Things have gone really well, actually the best we’ve ever had for a C-section, so thank you for your prayers!
Our boys are enamored with their new baby sister, and can’t wait to get back to see her.
“What a rude awakening!”
Micah, her big brothers, and Nana.
What a doll!
Goodnight, I’m worn out.
Wow. What a little miracle. Bless all of you out there, and thanks again for your thoughts and prayers. What an answer!

“Put us to bed Daddy!” my four year old gleefully announced prior to their bedtime.
You may be asking, “How in the world can I get MY kids to accept bedtime so eagerly?” I will share my experience with you, absolutely free. Nowhere else, but this blog, will you get such amazing advice.
Get bunk beds.
Since we’re expecting Baby in October, we needed to compress space. My wife is an avid garage sale shopper, and she found a perfect solution for us, a bunk bed with a twin on top and a full on bottom, thus allowing for three boys in one room. My two older boys already shared a room and a full bed, but the youngest was very excited to join his brothers, and the novelty of the bunk beds fueled the older ones’ interest. Tonight was the first night they get to experience this, and I about fell over when the above statement was shared with us!
Of course, I have no delusions about this blissful state lasting. And note, I didn’t offer this excitement for bedtime as a permanent solution. But it should make bedtime for a few nights an anticipation, rather than trepidation…
