Tales of a Sleep-Deprived Daddy

I do not recall the following events, but they come from a reliable source.

Situation 1, ~2:30am, Baby's Room:

Mom (M): "Can you come help me?"
Dad (D): "Sure."
M: "I can't see what time it is. How can I tell on the phone?"
D: Mumbles something about the Coca-Cola 600 (which was run on Sunday night).
M: "What are you talking about!!??"


Scenario 2, ~2:45am, Mom & Dad's Bedroom

Background- we're using our telephones as baby monitors until ours arrive. Same difference.

M to a sleepy D: "How do I make the phone a monitor?"
D: "It's easy. Just do this," and proceeds to press the number 1 repeatedly [which is NOT the way to make it a monitor].
M: "You're just pressing #1. How do you make it work??"
D: Proceeds to press #2 repeatedly.
Flustered M: "Sweetie, I need you to wake up. What do I need to press on the phone?"
D: Continues pressing #1. "Like this"
M: After a bit, M finally wakes D up.
[The only part D remembers is the rest of the story]
M: "Honey, I need you to help me here. How do I make the phone a monitor?"
D: "Just like this," and D saves the day by making the phone a monitor. D doesn't understand why M is so frustrated.

Needless to say, I was really enjoying my sleep. =)

Life Changing

I have now been a witness to one of God's greatest miracles: childbirth. After "only" 3 hours of hard labor in the hospital, Angela gave birth to our beautiful daughter, Amelia Laine. Click here for pictures.

Patrick Henry

I'm not going to address any of the issues surrounding the latest
changes at Patrick Henry College. However, I will simply state that
Drs. Noe and Stacey were my two favorite profs at PHC, and future
students will lose out on not being able to study under them.

My name is guy...

England wins the World Cup!!!

In a feat of soccer strength, England convincingly beat Ecuador (who'd
have guessed?) 2-1 to win the 2006 World Cup.

But before you run over to ESPN for the stats....

....this was on my XBOX. =)

Anyone want to take on the reigning champion??

Uncle D

We are super-excited for my brother Chris and his wife Rachael, as they just adopted an adorable little girl, Sophia. We thought there might be a race to the birth-day, as Sophia's birth mother was due June 1st and Angela is due June 2nd. But little Sophia had other thoughts, and she came on April 30th.

Crying over Cheerios

Have you seen the new Cheerios commercial? Get your Kleenex ready...

ps

"Stanley Cup, what's that?"

"Hockey"

"Oh yeah, I remember hearing that a few weeks ago."

If....

Granted, I do like to watch sports. Anything and everything, pretty much (except boxing).

So dear Angela mentioned today, "If we were a quid pro quo couple, then I'd have many hours of TV time to catch up on."

Regardless of the point she was trying to make (there's a Gilmore Girls marathon on, and I'm stuck watching it instead of the Stanley Cup), we both had a really good laugh at her choice of phrases.

Guess you had to be there- it was funny, trust me.
