The Family That Rocks Together, Stays Together

The Haircut: Things have been moving so quickly around here sometimes I forget how amazingly cute my twins are. Today we took Elizabeth to get her first hair cut. I may be out of line here, but after looking at the photos that Sarah took I am pretty sure that the hairdresser is a part time stripper. I mean who owns a leopard print smock. Those things are called smocks right? Anyways Elizabeth's hair had been looking a little rough so we decided to get her hair cleaned up a little bit. As she was leaving, the hair technician asked Elizabeth if she would like a sucker... which brings us to....

The Hard Candy: Elizabeth had a puzzled look on her face when the stylist asked her if she wanted a sucker. After Sarah explained that it was candy, she was all over it. Not only was she all over it but she grabbed some loot for Elijah. Needless to say they loved them. They didn't finish them, but they loved them none the less. While Sarah and Elizabeth were gone, Elijah and I decided to play around. Which leads to...


The Hard Rock: Rock Band 2. Sarah bought Rock Band 2 for me a little while ago and we just haven't had lots of time to mess around with it. So Joshua was asleep and a light bulb lit up in my brain. I whipped out my Wii Guitar Hero guitar and strapped it on my son. Needless to say tears welled up in my eyes. He looks like a natural, and no I did not put his hands in that position. Many hours of studying my Dad playing his acoustic lead to the near perfect hand hold on his instrument. I love being a Dad sometimes.

More Cuteness

Just a little update with some really cute pictures of my kids. We are doing really great. Joshua is sleeping through the night and the twins are getting used to having a little brother. Nicole and Jason stayed with us for a few days this week and took some really great pictures of Joshua. Nicole posted them on their blog so be sure to check those out as well.

5 a.m. Feedings and Fountains of Pee



Joshua has finally arrived!

Born October 1, 2008

Weight: 7lbs 9oz

Length: 20in


The newest addition to our family is here. Joshua was born about three days ago and has already changed our entire world. The entire birth went without a hitch, except for Sarah's drug induced haze on Wednesday. We came home on Friday from the hospital and are settling into a routine here at home. Elizabeth and Elijah are adjusting to their baby brother and have been a little mopey, but they are excited to interact with him as much as possible. Sarah is being a real trooper and is already more mobile than I was the day after we moved. Everything is going great and we would like to thank everyone that has been praying for us and wanting news about the birth. Everyone said that since we had twins having one more baby would be a breeze. I used to think the same thing...except for the fact that we still have the twins and now we have three babies instead of two. I think this was just an oversight on some peoples parts, or maybe they were just trying to make us feel better. He is amazing and has peed on me almost everytime that I have changed his diaper. We love him and we can't wait to show him off to the world.
