Wasting Santa's Time

Keep in mind these are the best pics from the visit.

Catch Up!

As many of you know, I got a new job so the last few months have been extremely busy for the whole family.  Here's a few of the best pics I have had on my phone since the last post in October....



Hard to tell, but it was the first snow fall of the year.

The First of Many "Firsts".

Let's just say Cash playing sports is a work in progress.  Right off the bat he didn't want to take the warm up lap, Andrea ran more than he did.  There was much more participation in the second practice, however.

The First Day of School is Never Easy...

This is not a common core household.  Math is the foundation of an elite education.  Unbeknownst to Cash, that sign is his homework tonight.

This kid has charisma....

The camera loves him....

Just like his dad.

Backpack.

"Ok, Mom.  Let go.  LET. GO."

The morning was going soooo well.  Awesome pictures.  Cash is holding it together.  Mom is holding it together.  Until Mom wants me to "document" the walk in which means I have to let go of Cash's hand.  Then... what happens?  The sidewalk jumps up out of nowhere and trips him.  That's right folks.... Mom's fault.

Healthy Choices

Chicken, check.  Healthy carbs and greens, check.  Desert, nope.  This kid's ready for some gains.

Aden's Cereal, Cash's Slime

Slime Face

How your face looks like when I take a pic while you're in the middle of saying "slime".

Tickle the Baaabyyy

The First Dentist Appt

Great report!  Cash behaved well.  No cavities.  ...and the dentist got all the "rocks, bugs, and dinosaurs" out of Cash's mouth.  He did so well he got a bouncy ball.  ....which was quickly thrown away after getting home.

Time for Bumbo

I think she likes it.

Worst Happy Birthday Ever

We were invited to a birthday but couldn't make so a video was a requested.  This is what they got...

Brother/Sister Vol. 1

Baby Girl Reed Live Blog

0320 - I awoke a father of one.

0540 - Completed a sweet, pumptastic shoulder workout, brah.

1150 - Andrea calls me at work says "GET HERE NOW, WE GOTTA GO TO THE HOSPITAL". I race home setting the cruise on 83 mph.

1230 - I walk in.  She's cleaning the floors.  I said, "let's go!".  She responds by "I gotta do my hair."  Seriously?

1240 - Sat on the couch and started the Baby Girl Reed Live Blog while birthing mother does hair.

1250 - Hairs done.  Thank goodness.  

Beauty is imperative for the birth process.

1323 - we have arrived at the hospital.

1335 - my bed for the night.  Having babies is so painful for the father.

1346 - Father's view.  Stay tuned for the doctor's view ;)

I know what you're thinking.  Man, that hairs gorgeous, right?

1410 - Successful protein run.  

Fact: you get a lot of awkward looks when u wear scrubs and walk around in a small hosptital u don't work in. 

1450 - IV started.  MTV's Ridiculousness on.  Trying to laugh ourselves into labor. awaiting pitosin.

1510 - Pitosin started.  I cracked a joke to the nurse, "after that's started it only takes 5 minutes, right?"

...I was the only one who laughed...

1550 - Andrea just asked me to dim the lights.  Normally I would get excited after that question but considering our situation I'm not getting my hopes up.

1630 - Jeopardys on.  See ya in 30 min.

1710 - The flood gates have opened!  (It sounded like it too)

...the water broke if you haven't figured that out by now.

1755 - Some collaborative thinking between Dad and Grandpa Reed, maybe a lapdance will get this thing going.

1850 - Contractions more intense.  Epidural started.  Hair still looks amazing.

2054 - Aden Jane Reed

7 lbs 15 oz

19 3/4"

Everybody's healthy and happy.  Time for Jack in the box.

The Morning After - 

After 7 attempts at staging a picture, I caught this candid one.  Candid wins.  Every time.
