HELLO Everyone! Well,
if you haven’t heard, Ricki and I have been a little busy. I am sure the wife(Ricki), will update
everyone a little more properly later on, but while she is busy… lets not kid ourselves,
she is either sleeping or feeding the baby, I will give you a short update and
share some photos off the ole’ trusty iPhone.
Jaden MaryJane Howell was born March 5th,
2013. She weight 6lbs 15oz and was 19”
long. Everything went relatively smooth,
and we were in and out of the hospital by the next day. We did lose a sock on the way, that didn’t
take long!
Now I am a dad, and I have a baby girl, Sooo… I took her to
In N Out, bring her in to the world right!
Ricki and I have really tried to get out and about as much
as possible and have brought her around everywhere with us. Jaden doesn’t seem to mind, because she really
isn’t saying anything. She did remind us
however, that her actual due date was March 18th and that she did
everything she could to be here early so that she could enjoy her first St.
Patrick’s Day. And did she ever. We invited over her soon to be BFF who came
in to this world about a whole 24hrs early and they went to town. I think they learned their lessons though, a
little too much, too fast, too early. They
were both passed out before 6pm. Which
was probably a good thing, because all of the adults were out by 8pm
anyway.
We do have another kid at home, can’t forget about this
stud. Our big Ace. Right when we brought her home, I went and
sat on the floor with Jaden, and Ace came right to the front and laid out on
his belly. He sniffed, looed, and then
over the next 5 minutes continued to army crawl closer and closer. He gave her a nice lick and put his head on
my thigh right next to her just taking her in for a while. Then, he decided to celebrate with a cigar!
Well, that’s all I have for you. I am sure there will be plenty more to share
as time goes on. Ricki and I still have lots
going on and lots coming up. We are
heading to Philly and Washington DC at the end of April with Bryan, Jen, and
Quinn. Then I am heading off to go river
rafting down the Cataract River (we’ll see how that goes), and then we are
heading to NY and Philly again in July for family and wedding. So, lots more to tell.
