Sorry we're slow with the updates guys, we have our hands full as I've returned to work while Mark & Jeanne Astle (Katie's folks) are here to help out. Additionally, I've been trying to post video to the site, but it keeps hanging. Maybe someday...

LT and the girls at EA decorated my office while I was out. It's pretty cute, but the thing that was REALLY impressive was that they cleaned it too! :-) The outpouring of gifts has really been humbling, there was a huge mound of gifts waiting upon return from friends here at work and licensing partners. And the UPS man is literally making two stops a day at Casa de Goedde. We REALLY appreciate them all and the thank you notes are in the mail! (I'm not sure if my mother would be shocked or proud of that).

Jeanne's been a big help with little Mack. Sasha's doing her part by continuing to keep Katie company during the night feedings, but she's also taken on the responsibility of waking Jeanne for them too. She thought you knew ALL the mommas need to be present for feedings. The funny thing is she doesn't wake up Mark or me, just the mommas...



BTW, these two don't look anything alike, do they...







I took a couple shots the other night while Mack slept in my lap. Once I sobered up, I took these pics with my cell phone. He's so cute when he's asleep. And quiet...

Mack's been much more cognizant lately. Just the last 3-4 days he's gone from like 5 minutes of awake and aware time before feeding and going back to sleep, now he's up for 45-60 minutes before the cycle starts again. Unfortunately, his clock is still backwards so Katie and I have had a few rough nights this week. Katie's a hell of a trooper though as she continues to stick with "The Deal". She's volunteered that she does all night duty when I have to work the next day. All the dad's I've ever known roll over laughing when I mention "The Deal", but Katie's all about it. She's a freaking saint (settle down Carroll College), but with my light sleep patterns, we've both spent a fair amount of time walking the house trying to get Mack on a schedule fitting of humans outside Transylvania...

You can really see how much weight he's packing on in this picture. He's getting the baby fat he was supposed to get those last 5 weeks with Katie. Look! He has my triple chin!!! :-P

Ahhh, someday I'll only remember these moments. The beauty of photos and selective memory...
