4 yr olds can be fun

I just have to share a funny one...

My wife to my 4 year old Nephew: "Do you know what's fun?"

Nephew: "Yes" (walks off)

My wife is still laughing....

An update (or why I don't post much)

This post has been a long time coming. But I can honestly say I have been busier than I ever thought I would be at this point. My wife and I decided last fall to have our first child. Things went well on the front end, and she got pregnant almost without trying. Our son was due May 3rd. That was before the complications set in. She developed hypertension in December which developed into preeclampsia. Galen was born March 11th by C-section. He was 2 lbs 6 ozs and 15 1/4 inches long. He spent the next 8 weeks in the NICU at Baptist Hospital. The NICU Nurses are some of the most wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure to get to know, but quite frankly I got tired of seeing them. Every day after work I would go to the hospital and spend a few hours with my son. Finally April 29th he came home. He is doing well, although we do have some feeding issues. As I am sure anyone reading this can guess, I have even less free time now. I get off work and it is my turn to look after him. I get to sleep after the midnight feeding and wake back up around 7:30 when he starts crying for his 8 am feeding. Teresa handles the 4 am feeding right now, but once she goes back to work all bets are off. Somehow through all of this, blogging hasn't been a priority for me.
