New Edition [sic]

So, we brought home a new baby two days ago: Ava Elizabeth.  She came a couple days earlier than scheduled (and 9 days early overall), but we were expecting, and prepared for, that to happen.  Rachel and I both had some loose ends to tie up for work, then we were off to the hospital.

Ella was a little more excited about the prospect of a little sister than she has been so far with Ava at home.  I don’t think she was expecting Ava to be so little, and to take so much of Mom and Dad’s time.  Once Ava gets a little bigger and can react to Ella (not to mention be a little less fragile), I’m sure she’ll love having another doll to dress up.  She’s already volunteering to help change diapers (even while looking at a juicy one), so I’m sure we’ll take her up on that.

So far, Daughter #2 has slept more frequently, longer, and less attached to Mom and Dad than Daughter #1, who pretty much had to be held for the first six months of her life.  I don’t want to jinx anything, so I’ll leave it at that.  My mom has always said that easy kids grow up to be challenging teenagers, and challenging kids become slightly easier teenagers.  We’ll see how that plays out over the next couple decades…

I’m being called to change another diaper, so that’s my time…

Upgrades

So Rachel and I were in the kitchen the other night making dinner. She mentioned that she was thinking about putting a new toaster oven on her Christmas list. I asked her why, since the one we have works fine, and we’ve never needed a bigger or more powerful one or anything. She told me it was because it was old, and they make much better ones these days. Old? We got it when we got married, right, and that was only…12 years ago. Oh. We have used it quite a lot in those 12 years.

Then she starts talking about other upgrades we might need, since all of our major appliances (except the fridge, which we had to get when the old one died 3 weeks after I was laid off a few years ago) are over 10 years old, and some older than that. So I said, trying to be funny, “Yeah, it might be time to upgrade the wife, too!” She turned to me, smirked, and said:

Hey guys!

So the family was out to dinner the other night, and I asked Rachel if she was ever going to post on her blog.  “November’s too crazy” came the reply.  “I’ll post after Thanksgiving.  I’ll have to figure out what to call it, too.”  I told her I already gave it a title, but she thought it was too boring.  So the group tossed out a few lame ideas, then my sister-in-law reminded us of something Ella used to say that prefaced everything she ever wanted to tell us:

Why we’re here…

So, a few weeks ago, Rachel says to me, “I need to start a blog.”  I said, “OK, I’ll take my ‘law firm’ website offline, and we can use the domain I’ve had since college.”  I originally got the domain to share photos and such with far-flung family and friends, but I never took the time to set it up.

I finally did set the site up a little over a year ago for my new “law firm,” just ahead of attending the 2010 Solo and Small Firm Conference in Duluth.  It was a great learning experience.  I met a lot of wonderful people, and Rachel and Ella had a fantastic time exploring Duluth in the beautiful August sunshine.  Unfortunately, the market couldn’t really bear another inexperienced lawyer in the Twin Cities, and I went back to quality engineering in August 2011.

That brings us to today.  The family was back in Duluth this weekend, to make up for missing the 2011 Solo and Small Firm Conference a couple months ago.  (I was starting my new job, and couldn’t justify delaying my start date for a completely different, and probably dead, career path.)  We did the obligatory shopping, spent a lot of time in the hotel pool, and climbed on rocks at the lakeshore.  And, before I get back into the swing of the real world, I figured I would take a couple hours and give Rachel her blog.  I’m looking forward to reading what’s on her mind, and I hope you are, too…
