For Jessica

One of the things I’ve been trying to do is help Jessica get ready to go to the hospital when Baby MAC decides to make his entrance. A couple of weeks ago we were looking high and low for an appropriate nightgown for the hospital.  There were specific criteria to be for it to be deemed appropriate. It had to be comfortable, easy for nursing and visitor friendly. Oh and not ugly.  We came to the conclusion that there was nothing that fit our standards. No thing.  Nada.  Then I had a moment. Ya’ll know the one. The one where I am brilliant. I said, “Jess, I know how to sew, it’s something I do. What if I made you a gown?” She told me I was brilliant and said yes please.  Actually I think she rolled her eyes and said took you long enough.  Anyway, I would of showed you this last week but I decided to go and get sick and make my very pregnant daughter wait on me hand and foot for two whole days.  I’m better but only because I got tired of all of the attention.

More later!

Playing Catch Up

Moving and all of the aftermath can be boring. There's just so much to be done that's not interesting. There are some very funny things that have happened and some very not funny things. Things like trying to get my car. Not funny. Things like a visit to the post office. Very funny in a not very funny, sort of way. Visits to the DMV where you grab a number, remember you forgot something, drive a 45 minute round trip to arrive back just as they are calling your number. Awesome! I am just beginning to craft again and we have some fun things coming up but in the mean time you get an impromptu photo shoot on the beach taken with my iphone.

I love these two!

Jess is a huge fan of people randomly grabbing her stomach and talking to the baby.

Hope you are all fine. I am trying to get back to normal, or find what is my new normal, or a facsimile thereof.

First Things First

When we arrived this is one of the first things we did.

We need another tandem to have enough seats for the whole family that is present here at this time.

We were contemplating a peddle version but Jess and I decided, not so much…. 

This shop is fun because you get to try out the different models. Ask for Cody, he was awesome.

We think we know which one we're getting now. Are you going to come kayak with us??
