Last week, Cheney and Rumsfeld go into the oval office to brief the president on the day's affairs. Upon entering, and after the normal niceties, Bush turns to Rumsfeld and asks "So what happened yesterday in Iraq?"
"Well Mr. President" Rumsfeld says while looking down at his feet "Three Brazilian officers were killed in heavy combat yesterday."
The president clutches his heart. Reels for a second and then plops into his chair, obviously shaken with the news and says "Oh my God Donald... Just how many is a Brazillion?"
So it's been awhile.
Even as I write this, I do so with one hand. I'm currently feeding the son his "brazillionth" bottle today. He's a pooping, eating, pooping machine. With a side of sleep.
I have been wanting to write more, and I keep trying, I just have so much on my plate right now. But I promise to find the time in this next week. It's amazing how fast time flies. Kiah is a month old today! How crazy is that? In his four short weeks of life, he has been to my hotel twice, church three times, a shower, the mall, a bunch of stores, and the highest suspension bridge in the world! He's gonna be so cool, we won't know what to do with him. He fell asleep during the Cubs beating today. Too bad they can only lose once today, otherwise, we'd appreciate the other nap.
Sarah's been sleeping for awhile. She's needed the rest so badly, and when I can be home, I want to make sure I relieve her of her baby duties. It's nice that he's partially bottle-fed, which means that I can wake up with him at night, and babysit for extended periods. I did two nights ago, and Sarah went for a haircut. It's adorable. Real short. I'll post some pics of her soon.
Oh! Kaitlin, Sarah's youngest sister, is coming out on Wednesday to stay for a couple weeks! We're real excited about it, and are looking forward to Kiah spending some quality time with his aunt. There's still no word on when anyone from my family will be able to come, but Sarah's parents and sister Jessica will be coming out to pick Kait up and drive back home. Its so nice to have family around.
In other family news, my sister Tammy had her baby, Eowyn Jeane. She's pretty cute, for a girl... just kidding, she's adorable. Kid has a ton of dark hair... My mom went out to be with her for a week or so, and my brothers are going to stay with her while my parents go to Africa for a few weeks. They are specing out the city in Tanzania they are going to, and will get to see Tammy, Josh and the baby before they head out. Wish we could go, but it's not to be. At least not now.
Well, I gotta go. Looks like he's going to sleep, and I don't want to wake him.
Peace

Finally!
Man, I thought I didn't post very much! I think its awesome that both you and your sister used our fun word verification references as a basis in naming and spelling your children's names. A fun way to always remember this time in our lives. You know, you may be on to soming with the baseball games, you might consider taping a few and see if they really do help in calming the little guy down and lulling him to sleep. That may be a valuable tool on down the road! Exhausted? Put in a tape of a baseball game! ZZZzzzzzz . . . Wouldn't that be a hoot? So how are things at work? Things are sure different for us at the old newspaper... Marv retires this coming Friday . . . That is going to be so weird. I can't imagine that place without him, or what he'll be like without that place. Its like he lives there. I believe they are dividing duties between Joe R and Joe K, but I don't know what the "official" word is. I am sure they won't replace his position(s).
We should know by mid-week if Paula's skin graft aurgery will be this week or not (it would be Friday) check out my blog for updates. Please keep us in your prayers. Her leg is better, but her emotions are not. She is tired, scared and depressed beyond belief. My birthday is Wednesday, which depresses her even more, because she likes to fuss over me and can't this year. To me, it's like, well we'll celebrate when you get home... She just doesn't see it that way. Women . . . You gotta love them! All the torture she is going through, and she worries more about me than anything except her surgery.
Keep in touch, sorry this is so long, I would have just emailed if I had know I was going to write a novel. Get some rest. And every day think of all the wonderful things in your life. It will help you relax and find a comfortable place in your mind, no matter what the stress. Xkrfsj, my friend
Jim, I didn't get it your story... what is Brazillion anyway?
I wish I could stop by Colorado this time to see Kiah... well some other time, I will plan it!
Rainy season here in Japan... it is humid and gray sky most time. I can't wait summer comes!
There are few things I enjoy more than your posts sir, but the comment thread is certainly one of them.
Oh my God do I love these. I can't even count the ways.
It looks like Kiah and Eowyn are alike. Just eating pooping and sleeping.
Wow it is so fun being a parent!!!
love ya
