Wow almost a full month since my last post….where does the time go? The past month has been crazy! My grandfather has been in the hospital and our family has been doing shift work spending the nights and days with him (I wish I were smart enough to design a hospital in which you could actually sleep). In the midst of taking care of Papa, my wife and I have been steady preparing for what we pray will be an on-time arrival of Joshua Eric.
That preparation has consisted of a cornucopia of activity…things like: the dismantling of my office; the creation of a nursery in what was once my office; the painting of the nursery, kid’s bathroom, and master bathroom (that’s right the master bath has nothing to do with the baby coming, I just got conned by my precious wife); the removal of all of the baby stuff from the attic; and the purchase of a new car (one that will actually fit two kids).
Today is the day after Thanksgiving, and I’m thankful to be finished with all of that! Within the next two weeks the nursery will be finished, everything will be in it’s place, the bag will be packed, and we will begin patiently waiting…I’m told that if all goes as planned the arrival of JET will be on January 23rd.
And with that it is time to go in the other room and help my wife with the yearly transformation of our home called Christmas Decorating.
