For almost the past week now Paige and Zander have been on a trip to visit family all across the state of Colorado. Before you start to worry and think that I am a horrible husband/father for letting her and Zander travel by car to Colorado, please take note that she didn’t go alone. Paige’s parents were actually the ones leading the charge and Paige decided to join them in the adventure north. As they left I looked forward to reading a book and sleeping through the night without a cry from Zander to wake me up. However, after I got home from work and entered into our apartment I realized how quiet and boring the night was going to be (no food, no wife, and no kid). I slowly realized how much I would pick having a CRAZY house over a quiet house any day. Nonetheless, the rest of my weekend was filled with work, craziness, wedding showers, friends, and much more. Now I find myself eagerly waiting the return of my two favorite people. So is it just… my stomach that is ready for good home cooked food again? a need for companionship? a desire to use Paige’s Apple computer instead of my crappy PC? I say it is none of the above, but rather LOVE (hmmm… and maybe a little bit of the apple computer)!!! It is funny how you look back and can’t imagine your life without the people you love and live day-to-day with.

I never thought I would be one of those people who really thinks that my kid is the cutest one out there. I’m pretty honest, I told myself if I had an ugly baby I wouldn’t expect people to lie and say he was cute. I even admitted that Zander had a crazy-huge weird looking head when he was born. But now, I have lost all impartiality…all it takes is one look at his face and I’m sure that there’s never been anyone in the world as sweet, cute or precious as lil’ Zander. And it’s getting worse…everyday he just gets cuter. I guess it’s just hard-wired into moms – it’s probably good to know that at least there’s one person in the world who always thinks you are cute…your mom.

Everyone has been asking for new pics of the belly…so we took some new ones. Thanks to our friends who have a sweet camera and my dad for helping us out, we ended up with some nice pics without having to pay anyone to take them…man, are we frugal.

So today was a VERY exciting day…until now, we wouldn’t be able to bring the baby home from the hospital. One of the only requirements is a car seat and we hadn’t gotten one yet. Good news…we have a car seat! Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Staton, Zander will be riding around safely in his new super cute car seat. We brought it home and practiced by putting a stuffed monkey in the seat. We think it’s probably much easier to put a stuffed animal in it than a wriggling little baby. However, we were able to successfully get the monkey in the seat without harming him, so that’s a good start. Thanks to mom and dad for the adorable (and more importantly safe) gift!

I know it is crazy to believe, but 3 years ago today Paige and I ran outside the doors of Mesa First Assembly in Arizona as a newly married couple. It is funny how as kids we understand how smart our parents are… then as high school and college students we think we know everything… then once married we come to a shocking realization that we know nothing. Now that Zander is on the way I am starting to accept that I have even less of a clue what I am doing or what all this baby stuff does or even is. However, in the midst of realizing that I know nothing there are three things I am sure of…
- Getting Married to Paige is the best decision I could have ever made and I am so thankful to have my best friend as my wife and my hero – I love you Paige.
- Having Zander has been an amazing experience and he isn’t even here yet – I can’t wait till he is actually here and we get to see what he looks like.
- Paige and I have been surrounded with best family a couple could ask for and we love you all.
