27 Weeks and Counting

Hi! I'm now 28 weeks old, and boy is it getting crowded in here! By now I weight 2.5 lbs and and am a whopping 15" tall from head to toe. I keep pretty busy during daylight hours stretching out my living space with kicks, punches, and elbow jabs to Mommy's stomach. Just wanted to say Hi. Look forward to meeting you all. - Aeva

Baby Room

Today I spent some time working on Aeva’s room. I still need some ideas for window treatments and wall art. If any of you have any suggestions or ideas send them my way. The photos aren’t great, the photographer in the family is studying for a big test tomorrow so he is indisposed.

News from the Clampetts

Two weekends ago, Jessica and I made the trip in to the hills of South Carolina to help Granny and Jebediah Clampett settle themselves in that there new shack they done got themselves. There was a lot of dern heavy furniture, let me tell you. All in all we had us a pretty good shindig that weekend. We had us some nice county eatin (peaches, homemake strawberry icecream, a some of that La-Tino food). There was also pleni' of fishin n' shootin too. Since it was Father's day, we brought Jeb one of them shotgun so he can rassle up wild turkeys and possum fer dinner as well as teach them country hoodlems up yonder way to keep to themselves.

Last Sabbath Jessica and I spent the afternoon with our church family at Percy Priest Lake. The water is still a little cool, but with temps in the 90s, it still feels pretty good. As a little bit of fun, four of us (Jessica, Max, Laura, and myself) decided to try a little cliff jumping. I have conveniently cropped the signs that say "Notice. No Tresspassing," since that obviously does not apply to me. Also, as a matter of probable optical distortion, one might say the cliff appears "smallish" but don't be fooled---it was a massive leap, as evidenced by sizeable though somewaht painful splash landing! Unfortunately, Aeva wouldn't let Jessica go, so she was kind enough to take pictures and video from the boat.

Gas Man

A lot of us probably wonder at times, "So... what exactly is it that guy does all day?" Well, unlike my brother Ryan, I can't show you complex schematics explaining the inner workings of computer chips I created, but I can give you a mini-tour of my office. Its quite spacious, luminous, and reasonable high tech. Looks pretty clean in this picture doesn't it? The down side is that I can't control the thermostat (which seems to be eternally stuck on the "Blizzard" setting), and my organized work space is usually marred by cables, iv tubes, drugs, etc. And on days like today, you do occasionally have to dodge pools of surgical mess on the floor--making sure you don't bring home unwanted souvenirs. All in all, its a pretty sweet setup, and now you know what Andrew does all day.
