6 months ago today (in about 13 minutes exactly), Samuel was born!!! The past few weeks his legs have been strong enough to stand him up on my hand, like I did with Ava when she was little. He seems to really like it (He must feel like a big boy!). **Update** I was running through [...]

It has been quite a summer! Between vacations and company, and the usual set of "Firsts" that come with a new baby, we have had a full and excellent summer. I've had a chance to take Ava to her first baseball games, and she absolutely loves it. I absolutely love going with her, and love [...]
Here's some photo's of the kids over the past month. We celebrated Amy's birthday, enjoyed a visit from Grammy and Pa pa, and Samuel has just turned 3 months. Samuel's growing like gangbusters! At his two month checkup he was in the top 90th percentile for height, and 95th for weight. He's doing really well, [...]
Happy Birthday Ava Mae Ross!!
Posted in News on Apr 27th, 2010
Sunday, April 25 was Ava's third birthday. We had a wonderful time with our florida family, and missed those in our family that couldn't make it. Unfortunately I botched the smoked ribs, and they turned out a bit salty from the rub, but everything else turned out great. We had an ice cream cake, and [...]
Seminole has an annual easter egg hunt that the fine folks at Seminole First Baptist Church provides the eggs and volunteers for. We haven't been able to get around for the 9:30 start time in the past, but this year I decided to take Ava. Im not sure, but this may be a first big easter [...]
Insert Random Thought Here…
Posted in News on Mar 8th, 2010
Life has been kicked into overdrive, and to write a blog posting about the last 4 or 5 days would be nothing but a jumbled mess of random thoughts, blurred by lack of sleep... So here's just a little of it. Friday night we brought Samuel home from the hospital after the Dr. ordered an [...]
Life, Physical or Spiritual, is birthed out of sacrifice. I love life, and I love that so many things in this life point to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ which provides us with spiritual Life. Christ's death is by far the ultimate sacrifice, giving life to an undeniably fallen humanity. I also firmly [...]
How Big Will He Be?
Posted in News on Mar 1st, 2010
So, we're inching closer and closer to the March 3 deadline for Amy's inducement, and Samuel's entrance into the world. We've tried almost everything to put Amy into labor, outside of me renting a big gorilla suit and jumping out of the shadows in the middle of the night. It looks like it is going [...]
Working With Daddy
Posted in News on Feb 27th, 2010
The past week I've been able to work at home periodically, as Amy is pregnant. This particular day, Ava went and grabbed her Elmo laptop, and sat next to me on her own and started pretending she was working with me... One last thing, I usually get myself together before working even from home. Just [...]
A couple weeks ago, Ava and I put the crib back together... 1. It was odd putting it back up, as we just took it down last June. 2. Ava was actually a big help handing me the screws. She absolutely loves helping!!! 3. We had a hard time keeping Ava out of the crib [...]
