| 7 Jan Crystal went back to college today. She'll be starting her Junior year at Bob Jones University. 09 Jan Ruth and I signed up for Lamaze classes. The last class is 6 Feb. 10 Jan Sean-D had another dental appointment today. His top left molar has a large cavity, and it needed to be filled. He must have forgotten the previous ordeals because he was all happy and playful walking all through the clinic until he saw the dental office and the Dr. Then he realized what was happening. 13 Jan We got our new dishwasher delivered today! I will be putting it in myself. Yesterday I pulled out one of the cabinets under the kitchen sink counter to make room. 18 Jan I was actually able to finish installing the dishwasher all by myself today. What took so long was in preparing the space where it was to go. Sean-D has been talking a lot this week. His Sunday School teachers are impressed. So are mommy and daddy. His sentences are clearer, and he's making his needs know better. He is also counting things. He can now count to 13. Less than 4 weeks to go for our new baby. Ruth and I already are in the nesting stage; cleaning the house, getting a dishwasher, and we are trying to get in a shower downstairs. 27 Jan Amber left today for her 2 month vacation to Australia. Sean-D had a blast at the airport watching the planes take off. He called them "boats" when they were on the ground and "airplanes" when they took off. David wasn't impressed with the planes and wanted to leave after we saw Amber off. Sean-D must have sensed that he wanted to go, and he said to David "You sit down". Sean-Ds getting good at making himself understood. 11 Feb Sean-D's 2 years old today. My dad and stepmom came over yesterday to celebrate, and Ruths mom and dad came over today. 13 Feb David got his new car today - a 1991 Toyota Turcel. It belonged to his aunt Lydia in Chicago. Davids dad drove it down for him. Ruth and I are anxiously waiting for our new baby. We went into the hospital yesterday because she was having contractions, but they release us a couple of hours after they stopped. 20 Feb Our new baby arrived yesterday!! It's a girl!! She was born on 19 Feb 2003 at 0857am. She weighed in at 10 pounds 2 ounces, and was 22 inches long. This is Ruth's biggest baby ever. Ruth started her active labor around 3am and woke me up at 430 am. We checked in at the hospital at 615, and less than 3 hours later we had a baby. She's such a cutie. She and mom will be in the hospital till tomorrow afternoon. Grandma Falconnier has been watching Sean-D while I visit all day. She says she has a lot of fun. He loves to play with her, and his favorite game is to march around the house singing the "Infantry" song. 22 Feb I brought Ruth and Melodie Joy home yesterday afternoon. We re-introduced her to Sean-D - he had been brought to see her the night she was born. He had a hard time being gentle, but he insisted on kissing her several times. Sean-D has been cooped up for a few days, so I took him on the metrolink to the airport to watch the planes. He had a good time, and fell alseep on the train back. 19 Mar Ambers back from Australia. She had a wonderful time and came back with a tan. |
