We are starting to count down the weeks until Riley Adam (a.k.a. Riles or Ramrod) shows up on our doorstep. Although Courtney is due is roughly 9 weeks we’re working under the assumption that he’ll be here sooner than expected. The doctors will tell you that birthing time and ETAs are not hereditary but mothers will tell you differently. At this point we’re preparing for the earliest, hoping for the best. After spending the weekend with my 10 week-old nephew I’m quite ready to have one of my own. We’re lucky that Drew and Michelle have allow us to “cut our teeth” with babies on Avery. He’s a perfect little guy.
Other than that life has been a waiting game. Court and I spend our time pontificating on new life situations. Sometimes agreeing and sometimes not agreeing at all but both of us are excited for whatever adventure will pop up next.

One of the first things Court and I did when we found out she was pregnant was run to Target and browse the baby aisles. We walked up and doing laughing and cooing at all the neat baby stuff. Blankets, clothes, butt paste…We were so excited to jump into the adventure. I picked up the biggest bottle of baby powder I could.
When we started talking to friends and family we quickly discovered that baby powder is no longer the prefered method for de-stinking a baby. I am now stuck with this gigantic bottle of baby powder and no clue what I’m going to do with it.
…Then I found this article: Get rid of ants with baby powder. I have A LOT of ants in the yard. Now granted, the article discusses using baby powder inside the house, I’ve got nothing but time and energy and I gigantic bottle of baby powder. I plan to run home and try this out tonight.
At the very least my front yard will smell like a baby’s butt.

Found these off of del.icio.us: Atheist Quotes. Unlike most “mine is better than yours” comments, many of them are fairly interesting and philosophical.
