We're all home

Well, Em and Noah are sleeping at the moment, so I figured I'd write a quick something. Both are doing well, albeit a bit tired. Noah's first night at home went fairly well, he's been pretty calm, but he let's us know when he needs something. Em's mom is going to be staying a couple days with us, which is very welcome. I'm very lucky to have married into some good in-laws to compliment my already great family. Henry (the bird) has been cooperative so far with keeping the chirping to a minimum, and in return, I've been trying to keep up with his food.

Thanksgiving went well, Em's family came here and we had dinner/lunch at Mary's who was wonderful to host the Lambson clan. We brought Noah there straight from the hospital and he did pretty good for a couple hours, but let us know when it was time to go. Last night after his 600 feeding both he and Em took a nap while I watched the beginning of Battlestar Galactica season 2, good fun, I love sci-fi. That's it for now, I suppose this is the first true update in a while. I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving and have a good long weekend.

I can do videos now!

Just checking to see if I can do it! He's doing great!

First Peek at the New Guy

You know....For kids!

So, November is here and it appears that fall has decided to grace us with it's sweatery goodness. I don't know why, but I'm always happy when October is over. I'm not quite sure why, but it seems to be a cursed month.

And of course, Noah is in the forefront of my mind. We are now doing weekly checks with the doctor, and this past visit we watched Noah practicing his breathing and saw his heart racing. What a wonderfully terrifying image. He's alive and we have to figure out what to do with him. I'm not quite sure if the world is ready for the awesomeness of my spawn.

Speaking of awesomeness, how about that Arsenal? Forget any other sport, soccer is where it's at and Arsenal is king of the season so far.

One thing that I can't wait for this coming holiday season is political ads. I can't wait to find out how terrible all these people we're supposed to look to for leadership are.

Almost made it...

Well...October flew by. And although I was shooting at missing an entire month, I decided I couldn't let my committed readership down.

Joseph Noah is getting ready to join us, and getting ready for him has been fun. A big thanks to everyone who's helped us out and baby showers and other places as well.

School is crazy, that's all that can be said there, but I'm enjoying it and keeping my nose above water.

That's all I have time for, I'll try and do better in the future.

Not 3 in the morning at work

As the memory of my b-day settles into the past, the advent of my 3rd year being married is at hand. 3 yrs. is a speck in time and in history, but they have defined my life. I suppose the biggest part of this anniversary is that it will be the last of our childless years. It has been wonderful to grow with Emily, and now we get to grow with Joseph Noah as well. Emily has brought color and imagination into my life in a way that I couldn't have thought possible. My life is wonderfully full because of her. She is where my home is. I love her.

HIJACKING THIS BLOG FOR JOE'S BIRTHDAY!!

Hey... It's the wife, wishing Joe a HAPPY 28th Birthday!

Here's to his sense of humor, his generous nature, his ability to adapt to any new environment, his crooked nose, his love of toys and soccer, his big bear hugs, his excellent cooking, and his great hair!

Joe is getting a REAL Scottish kilt for his birthday. He got to pick out all the accessories himself, including the hangy-thingy in front, the dagger, the sock accents, etc. He is SO excited to have this heirloom to celebrate his Scottish heritage. An I think he'll look really hot in the full getup.

Tonight, Joe's sis Mary is treating him to homemade pizza, and might just have a few Arsenal soccer doo-dads to give him for his birthday. She knows him so well!

So join me in wishing this amazing guy a WONDERFUL birthday, and feel free to bring by some dark chocolate, a Transformer or Lego set, or just tell him Happy Birthday in the comments section.

Love you, Joe!
