They are prepping Jenni and getting ready to pull Parker out into the world. I’m so excited to hold our new baby! Jenni is really calm and joking with the nurses – she’s getting a combination epidural. I thought that was like a two for one deal – though I was getting one, evidently, that’s not what it means.

Nurse: “do you prefer peanut butter or regular m&m’s”
Jenni: “why does that matter?”

Thank you to all of you who have been so supportive of Jenni and I, we really need it and are so appreciative…

I’m so thankful that I have these few video’s of my dad! I love how he laughs at his own joke when he is singing to Jenni. He was such a great father-in-law – he loved her as much or more than he loved me. I hope that one day I will be the type of man he was.

I miss you dad… I don’t know that I will ever be the same without your smile in my life…

Ha, now that’s what I’m talking about, 1years old and already able to pick out the good stuff!!!
