I’d love to build a Berzerk (sp? I thought it was Bezerk, but the all knowing WikiPedia disagrees) cabinet. Maybe someday I can build one with the boy:
Well, for an 18 month old. He is 36″ tall. I read or was told by my wife that the hieght at 24 months is basically 50% of the adult height. Man, he could be TALL.
I cannot express the joy of the following in words, nor pictures. My son, Eli Joseph was born this evening, at 5:38 P.M (33 mins earlier, and it would have been 05:05 on 05/05/05, ah well).
I also cannot begin to describe the love and pride I have in my wife. As with all births, the Mother did all the work.
In this case, it was a LOT of work.
Yes, that is 9 pounds, 11.1 ounces. 23″ long. And I can personally attest that his Lungs, Bladder and Digestive track are all in prime working condition.
I can only praise and thank our Lord and Savior for this blessing. And pray that Erin and myself will be lifted by Him to be the parents we ought to be.
Our Baby!
Ah, that explains it…
This is Depressing News
So my general annoyance / unhappiness with parts of my existence aren’t unique.
I mean:
And yet I feel less than successful. Like my life is not meeting standards. I’m not learning enough. I am not earning enough. My house is not nice enough. My dog misbehaves. My lawn is more weeds than grass. My house never stays clean. I am 50lbs heavier today than I was 5 years ago. I am worried about paying for fuel oil / gas / electricity. I am worried about saving for retirement. I am worried about my son’s education. I am worried that my employer will agree with me that I am overpaid. And so on.
I need vacation.
