Man, having a baby really cuts down on the blogging! As of Friday I own my own dairy farm which takes a lot of maintenance so I apologize for the lack of posts. Andy's sister Kristy is here with us for a few days and I'm trying to convince her to move in but I don't think she's gonna go for it. Today I took a three hour nap thanks to Kristy. It was awesome, considering I was up all night with Charlie who has his days and nights mixed up. After all that last night, he now has a few favorite songs including James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" and several praise and worship songs. He's discovered the joy of the swing today though so I expect things to go much better tonight. Yesterday the Murray's came to meet Charlie and thanks to his unfortunate battle with gas they now have permanent loss of smell. It was pretty bad. I'm happy to report though that he worked things out later that day. The Nelsons also came to visit and Charlie and Carley had their first date. Charlie slept through the whole thing though so I'm not sure about their future together. I think she was a little offended by that and the gas. I'll have to work with him on that. I'm also working on establishing his passion for social justice. He got his first lecture as we watched the Coretta Scott King funeral on CNN. I think my message was well received. Ok, I've got to tend to my little buddy now. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow!
