Sleep? I guess I can sleep, but only if I have food...
Don't you dare come between me and my video games! Okay, you can come between us, but I'll ignore you...
Ooooooooooooohhh, fishies!!!
Thrill seeking in the water? I'm there...
Hmmm... how did I get myself into this mess...?
And finally, we're both very willing to smile at mom!
Jaeden had a great time meeting Grandma Clark, and he had lots of fun with Grandpa Clark over memorial day. We miss living close to them, but Pittsburgh is fun too.
For my father's day present, Renee took Jaeden and I to the zoo. We had all kinds of fun. Jaeden loved the animals that moved, and when the animals didn't move, he'd watch all the other kids that were running around. He also really loved the fish, just like daddy. Renee and I loved the penguins, who were showing off and jumping out of the water like dolphins.
It was also fun to go to the sing ray pond, because they let you touch the rays. They felt so weird; not slimy, but very smooth and soft and firm. It was a great weekend, and it made me so happy to be a dad! Jaeden is the perfect little boy!!!
Which reminds me... for those of you who have been wondering about the adoption status, victory 1 of 5 has been claimed... Alabama finally dropped the birth dad's initial case. This means that we have a short window to file to finalize the adoption, and then we'll have to deal with additional filings from the birth dad, which is when we'll probably have to deal with paternity tests, etc. But at least it's a step in the right direction! Thanks for all your well-wishes and prayers... we are humbled and grateful for your thoughts and support!
