Time is flying by.
Week 1: I had a week off
Week 2:I worked from home
Week 3: I crawled back into the office.

Things are still going pretty well. Thanks everyone for all the gifts that have been pouring in. We really appreciate it and Paige certainly enjoys the wardrobe variety.

We had some friends over for the Super Bowl and that was a good time. Then later in the week Grandma and Grandpa T. came into town and have been helping us out around the house and in the kitchen. Angie’s aunt and uncle came down from Santa Monica with a great dinner. Uncle Chris stopped in to visit since he was town for business one last time before settling down in St. Louis (we’ll sure miss his visits, but he’s agreed to come visit us with Colin and Erin in the summers.

Paige had some firsts in the last couple of weeks.

Here is the latest set of pics.

Enjoy!

What does Paige do besides sleep, eat, and ah, dispose of the food?

Not too much at this point, but here is a little sample.

I was able to get out of bed today and get out on the new bike. It was cold (for California - 45 degrees) but the rainy season is approaching so I had to get out there while I could. Since Paige was up feeding at 05:00, I just stayed up rather than going back to bed and met up with the guys (Jim and Joe) at the HB pier at 07:30. We got about 29 miles in and hit some hills, but in the cold weather it is best not to push it too hard.

Here is my new ride. It performed quite well today.

Here is a link to an article. “The Onion” cracks me up.

Week two with Paige went pretty good. Mom, Dad, and Baby are all starting to get used to the feeding schedule.

Paige went to the Dr. today and she weighed in at 7 lbs. 15 ounces. Wow, almost an 8 pounder. So that means she has successfully climbed back up to her birth weight and surpassed it. Good job Mom and Baby on excellent feeding!

Here are some more pictures. Many of them show us sleeping. Sorry, but that is about all we’ve been doing lately, although Mike has been working from home this week to prepare for going back to the office next week.
