Eating everything in sight

For those who remember Joshua was not only born under weight but really didn't like to eat. Well, those times are gone. We have ourselves an eating machine. Even though it is sometimes difficult to keep the food coming in fast enough Kerry and I secretly love it. There is nothing better than seeing your once very underweight son plow through a whole stack of pancakes and smile while doing it.

I should also note that he is completely off the bottle and formula. We now start every morning with a sippy-cup of milk and slice of cinnamon-swirl bread (thanks to Pop and Grammy for that discovery). The nightly bottle is completely gone and is replaced by a cup of yogurt.

Its a Nitchie!

Congrads to my former co-worker and his wife, Chris and Shannon on their beautiful new baby! Connor Loughlin Nitchie was born Monday, 6/16/07, 19:58. 5 lbs, 8ish oz. It sounds like there was a few scary moments but from the looks at this picture everyone seems to be fitting into this new world quite beautifully.

5 Years and still going

Today Kerry and I have been married 5 years. It has been a great and wild ride including a nation-wide relocation, buying, selling, and buying a house, a few hospital visits, our first baby, a few vacations, and about 10 different jobs between us. I can't speak for her but when I first met that girl in the elevator of Collins Dorm at Baylor I had no idea almost a decade later she would be the mother of my child. Its wonderful being married to her and I can't wait to see what the next 5 years will bring us.

going down the slide of life

For Joshua's birthday Kerry and I got him the "Swing-Along Castle". It basically a small swing set with a slid and climbing wall. He hasn't shown much interest in it until today, when he pretty much wore himself out going up and down the slide.

Calendar of Events Part 2

You may have noticed that I have posted an agenda to the left. This is directly linked to our calendar and as we add events you can see where we will be. Feel free to subscribe to the calendar and create invitation (requires Google login). We can't wait to see you all.

P.S. I know this is completely geeky and may not be that useful, but remember this is me we are talking about.

Calendar of events

As I said earlier Kerry, Joshua, and I will be in Dallas from June 22-July 2. Obviously we would like to see as many people as possible which in the past has usually been a difficult feat to pull off. This year I thought I would go organized. I've shared a Google calendar describing our trip. Feel free to add events and see where we will be.


Here it is:

best present ever!

Recently CNN ran a story about an 11-year old boy who killed what was believed to be the largest wild pig ever. The animal weighed more than 1000 lbs and was more than 9 long. They have now uncovered that this pig was not wild but was raised on a farm in Alabama and recently sold to a couple who owned the property that it was killed on.

What really amazes me about this story isn't the pig but the story on how it was bought and sold. It was actually a Christmas gift from a husband to his wife.

Kerry and I have our 5-year anniversary coming up. I keep trying to imagine the scenario of me buying her a 1000 lb pig to show my love for her. Its hard to imagine the outcome but I'm pretty sure it would eliminate the need to purchase a 6-year anniversary present ;)

Here is the CNN story
