two weeks.

the new guy.

As soon as Hudsen came in to see Nathan for the first time, he promptly introduced himself. And then he showed him how to use the recliner (he wanted me to face Nathan toward the chair to see.) It's all business for Hudsen.

Life is good. Nathan Caleb was born yesterday at 2:58pm. He's healthy, and he weighed in at a hefty 5 lbs 13 oz. Sorry for the blurry BlackBerry photos.

realistic vs. abstract.

Slap a large pricetag on it, and someone in the Bay Area is sure to take notice. Our little artists left the other parents disappointed and the other kids in tears at a recent showdown at Royal Oaks.

That was over the top and borderline rude. But it's late, and I am entertaining myself now.

tennis champ.

Maddie did tennis earlier this spring. She did awesome. As a lefty, she'll be every chick's worst nightmare in high school...not that we're thinking that far ahead or that we've been told that lefty chick tennis players get sweet scholarships or anything like that...

right on time for easter.

Here are buds Hudsen and Luke @Easter.

I'm thinking of posting some pictures of the kids soon. Novel idea.

oui wii.

Hudsen has a friend, Matthew.
Matthew has a Wii. Therefore, Matthew is Hudsen's favorite friend. Tonight, we were eating at Tour's Mesquite Grill. We ran into an old friend. Hudsen immediately starting chatting about his new brother. He somehow segwayed to video games - a likely transition. Well, here's how it played out:
Hudsen:

"I play video games. Matthew has a Wii Wii."

You bet, tiger. I'm sure he does.

three months of nothing.

So blogging has been non-existent for the past three months. Probably because nothing has been going on.

Well, except for:

- Maddie finishing kinder like no one's business. Sharpest crayon in the box. She's on about level 23. Brilliant.
- Hudster finished pre-pre-school. Went in preferring not to communicate; went out a chatter box.
- Remodeled house. Demo'd both bathrooms to their bones. New tile, new vanities, new personality...like a hotel, baby.
- Scraped popcorn texture off ceilings, retextured whole house.
- Repainted whole house.
- New carpet.

It's been a crazy few months, but our parents have been invaluable, helping us get everything done.

Oh yes, and Nicole is about to have the baby any day now. Probably within next week.

More to come.
