It's that time again!

Jude is 8 weeks old now, weighs about 13 & some odd pounds. He is growing like a weed. We are starting to gets lots of smiles and vocals, but still not much interaction. Mom is doing great. I am so proud of her. She is back at work this week, and I know that has got to be hard. Love you honey. Anyway...just wanted to keep you all up on some recent pictures.

Starting off with my favorite. Horrible, but I can't stop laughing at it.

Worst. Parents. Ever.

Another cute one post bath.

Rocking out.

Happy Mommy! The long awaited Shauna pic. Today is Shauna's first babysitting day. I'll fill you all in later.
Jude and Logan. What a couple of Lady Killers, huh?

Taking a Sunday drive. Don't worry, we were only going about 95mph here.
Testing the lungs. Still working. Helping me with the laundry.

As always, thanks for checking in. Miss you guys.

HOW WE MET
We met at a little get-together I had when I was house sitting for Mom & Dad. He came up to me, introduced himself and thanked me for having him out. He had tagged along with some of the other Zeta guys I had invited. (Thanks to my brother, Jeff, and friend Jamie) We took a moonlit walk down to the water where he told me of his fear of frogs and aliens.

THE PROPOSAL
Christmas 2004, we went out to dinner and to the Nutcracker. After the show, as we walked out of the theater, I saw a big black limousine sitting in front of the theater. Right as I got ready to say, “Oh, Ben, I want to ride in a limo sometime” (as I do each time I see one) he whispered, “I have a surprise, this one is for us.” So, I jumped into the limo just as fast as I could. He got in and opened a bottle of wine and we drove around and around looking at the Christmas lights . Soon, we were at the Columbus Crew stadium, where we had our first date. We got out of the limo and headed for the field. I could see two chairs sitting alone on the the field, and then one of our favorite songs started to play throughout the entire stadium. The whole place was empty and the lights were shining onto the field. We were walking around when I noticed a slide show of pictures of us on the score board. He said, jokingly, “I bought the field for you!” We went to the chairs and watched the rest of the slide show. Then, our favorite song came on. We stood up and started to dance. He said the most wonderful things to me, and then he reached into his pocket, pulled out a ring, got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said, “Of course I’ll marry you.” We cried and laughed and danced for a while longer and then he started waiving to someone. He had invited my parents and brothers to be there and watch the whole thing (and to catch it all on video). So they came onto the field and started crying and laughing along with us. It was the most wonderful and magical night of my life. It still feels like a dream!
