Or, learning to love process/order and prevent chaos
TLC's show Jon & Kate plus Eight has both of us hooked. We started watching after we learned we were expecting Nicholas, partially in a funny "At least we don't have eight kids" way.

Introducing Nicholas
I'm very happy to introduce you to the newest member of our familily, Nicholas Herbert,
pictured here taking a nap with his proud dad. He was born in the early morning hours of
April 8th. Since then he's kept us busy between feedings, diaper changes, and one to two hour
cat naps throughout the day.

I'm an uncle!
Not exactly up to the minute news here, where did the last three weeks go and I've left my blog sadly unattended. The biggest news here is that I'm a real honest-to-goodness uncle. Patty had a baby boy ten days ago, Ian Christopher. He's cute, and sounds like he cries a lot. They're also lucky since he's been sleeping through most of the night, from what I hear he wakes up once, maybe twice, during the night.

Scary: Immigrants May Be Held Indefinitely
Although Immigrants is used in the headline, Immigrants May Be Held Indefinitely, from reading the article it appears this applies to non-citizen immigrants. Or does that mean you're not an immigrant anymore once you're a citizen.

Me Sick, Pete Engaged, Patty under observation
A more eventful week than I would have preferred, as a fever forced me to leave work early on Tuesday. Bed rest and little else were the order of the day through Wednesday.
Yesterday, Pete called to let me know he finally got engaged to Melissa. Although hes had the ring for a few weeks now, apparently Melissa put together a romantic dinner at home on Halloween, which he "wasn't going to be able to top" so he opted for the nuclear option to trump her.
