Scrubbing the night away....
Nary did I expect I'd be biding my time for my son to lose his belly-button. But here we found ourselves weeks after the little squirt joined us, his dried former umbilical lingering a bit longer than we anticipated. But finally, finally it fell off. Kind of. At least enough to bath him! BABY'S FIRST BATH!!!!
Arnie and the Boy. I smell made-for-tv movie.... (and some weird formatting that I couldn't fix before Nolan woke up!)
Not too long ago Carleen and I were stumbling through the ins and outs of keeping a house with a dog. Now we're stumbling through the ins and outs of keeping a house AND a 1 month old baby. Arnie is a great dog. Who, sometimes, likes to remind us that he has the capacity to be a needy dog, just a reminder. We were concerned about Arnie and the baby and all the changes we'd encounter. And, like mentioned above, Arnie has been great. And he's reminded us that he can be a total shit, too. Mind you, this is the first winter we've had with him so I think he's getting a little cabin fever. We don't go on the long walks as often. Carleen really can't walk him yet and I'm at work 8 plus hours a day. Oh, and did I mention he's not getting the attention like he used to prior to December 19th? Yeah, that whole thing, too. So he's had a minor slip-up. Poor, poor stuffed lizard toy. We hardly knew you.

Mom washing up Nolan. The little guy enjoyed his first bath and did NOT eat any soap. We're so proud, indeed. |

I think there should be three speech bubbles, each one saying "What the %$#& is happening right now?!?!" Congratulations to you and Carleen. So glad everything is going well!
Hello Darling Family!
Methinks Mr. Nolan will weigh in at 10 pounds 4 ounces. (Bet I am way off - he looks much heftier than that!)
Voice bubbles:
Nick: I don't know if it's Nolan or Arnie, but sheesh and phew!
Nolan: I am too cute to make that!
Arnie's thought bubble: Great... Now I am going to take the rap for his toots, too!
(Yeah, pretty lame. It does jive with our chat re fat farts and need for more nappies.)
Love you all and look forward to seeing you sooner rather than later,
Mother Theresa
If no one else posts, does that mean I win? (Not that I am overly competitive or anything like that. I'm just saying...)
Love to you all,
Grandma TT
Okay, several caption ideas:
1: Funny. Serious. Weird.
(Nolan, Arnie, and Nick, respectively.)
2: The guys watching Yo Gabba Gabba. Or maybe Monty Python. Either way, Arnie thinks it's an aquired taste.
Love you beautiful people!
Aunt Peg
