We celebrate a late Christmas with family (and celebrate Derek’s birthday as well).
daddy boot camp
Jan 30th
Christine and I attended a class at Babies ‘R’ Us for first-time dads. Titled “Daddy Boot Camp”, I didn’t really know what to expect. It was like participating in a game show. It was me against 5 other expectant fathers. First up was the diaper change contest. More >
gotta love the midwest weather
Jan 29th
Record-setting high of 71 degrees today gave way to heavy rain, hail, sleet, and snow this afternoon. Of course, I was too busy at work to notice any of this. By the time I left my office, the temperature had already plummeted 40 degrees with 45 mph winds. I was covered in snow by the time I got to my car. And to top it all off, the area was under a tornado watch. We’re currently at 16 degrees, and it’s absolutely frigid.

Hello again 
Sorry for the lack of posts. I’ve just been too busy. My in-laws are moved in and settled. Progress on their house is moving along quite nicely. At work, I’m still in the midst of data collection; I was hoping to have it done this week, but I hit a lot of road blocks. I’m lucky to be part of 2 teams that get along well and are fun to work with, unlike my fellow analysts who seem to be on teams that are not responsive or cooperative, or just downright idiotic. And, of course, we’re getting ready for baby at home. CL decided on a theme for the nursery, and it’s very cute. I’m prepping myself by reading books for new dads; there’s a lot to this, and I want to be ready when we welcome Baby Jose to our world.
