Everyone was happy including Aidan even though he's frowning.

Liam dancing with his laptop and new cell phone.

Ashlynne is doing better and doesn't have jaundice anymore and gained an ounce and then two last night. She's really chowing down and gaining weight.  It's hard going back and forth to the NICU but its totally worth it to get to hold her.

Aslynne Elise Kipp was born Oct. 8 @ 5:30pm.  She's been in the NICU since then with breathing problems. She was missing surfactant which they quickly fixed. Now we're getting rid of her jaundice and getting her gain weight.

We had the chance to watch Emma so Ben and Diane could celebrate their anniversary.  They had fun playing with the wagon and pulling each other. I miss being a kid and just being able to laugh at the silly things in life.

The kids sure do love Mom. Seery calls her Mom. Aidan calls her Mama and Liam  calls her Ma. Trying to put them to bed without her is always tough because they love her so much.

My Peeps

So I've decided that I like my family. So much in fact that I think I just might keep them for all eternity.

First you have my wife. My dear sweet Elise who I somehow tricked into marrying me and now she's mine forever. She makes me laugh like no else ever could and has more insight into life then even I realize. Plus she's flippin' hot!

Then you have our smarter than average, potty mouthed, absolutely perfect the way they are, children. I don't know why they always end up drinking right out of bottles, but they do. Quite possible it's because they see me doing it, but as my old political science professor used to say, "Correlation does mean causation." Seery can be a handful. Either very stubborn or angelic. She's downstairs right now talking to her dolls. I like it when she tells them that their Dad is going to spank them for being bad as it makes me laugh.

Now to my boys. Aidan is strong of mind and of body and loves the snow. In fact, he's outside more during winter time than in the summer. He'll lay there for 30 minutes and eat more snow than he does fruit and veggies. Liam loves him and Seery more everyday and always wants to do what they're doing. It's scary how much Liam loves cell phones and computers.

So you'll have to forgive my rambling, but I took a vacation day today and Liam's napping and the others are watching Beauty and the Beast and I felt like it.

And don't forget to click on the ads so I can eventually hit the $100 threshhold and make some bank. Peace out yo.

My Wife The Best Chef!

I am not losing anymore weight. Elise's ankle is better enough that she's been cooking again. Ok, maybe her ankle isn't totally healed, but I know for sure that she's tired of me making breakfast for dinner! She made tangy bbq beef sandwiches last night and I ate too much so I am now back over 200 lbs. I love her cooking! She is definately my lovizzle.
