Orson and I took a quick trip to the Laumeier Sculpture Park this past weekend.  The weather was great, the leaves were turning, and we had a great time!

We went to the Sculpture Park yesterday to collect leaves for Orson’s homework assignment.  We took the camera along and snapped this pic of the boys and me.

Here are some new pictures of the boys, best of buds.

Trent and Orson - May 24, 2008

Good news; Orson was accepted to Stix, the St. Louis City magnet school. We put him on the list some months back and he was initially rejected, probably due to age (they take four and five year olds before three year olds). About two weeks after that …read more »

Well, I’m back from the dead, or so it would appear. I haven’t really updated for while, primarily because I’ve just been so busy. The main reason for this, of course, is because of the new baby. Trent is doing very well and I’ve been tracking his progress on his website. I’ve also been keeping up to date with Orson’s progress as well (we don’t want to forget him). The first six weeks or so were very, very hard; not because he’s a problem baby but because of the nature of raising babies, the time it takes to do it, and starting my new job.

The opportunity came along and if I would have passed it up it would have been one of the stupidest things I’d ever done. The new job has panned out beautifully so far and I’m really glad I jumped on it when I did. They were very understanding of the new baby and were accommodating.

It’s funny; it seems as if each time I start a new job I have another baby! Or maybe it’s the other way around. Either way it’s tough but, in the end, it’s worth it.

The new job. Ah, yes. The new job. What can I say? I’m …read more »

I finally added the photos from Orson’s third birthday party in the family photo album. I also added some …read more »

So the new baby is here and things are going well. It took a couple days to get back into the swing of things again; it’s been three years since we had a newborn in the house and one tends to get a bit rusty. Regardless, it’s sort of like riding a bike; you never really forget. After a couple days struggling with the tiny diapers, thrashing legs, and limp neck it was business as usual.

What I found interesting about this baby is …read more »
