Seth was getting cabin fever, so we decided to all go to the local bowling alley and teach Seth how to bowl. They had a special seven pound ball and bumpers for the lane. He got a 70 on his first game, all by himself.
Thatcher has officially been home for a week now. And it has been a very eventful week. Thatcher has been to the doctors, and has had two visits to the hospital (to check up on his jahndis levels) Seth has also had a doctors appointment, so... bring on the medical bills!
Thatcher decided to grace us with his presence at 5:19 AM on 11/07/2007. He shares the same birthday as his great-grandpa Brown. I got the call from Megan at 4:30 PM while I was at the office. I had 2.5 hours of traffic to get through before I could meet her at the hospital (thanks Jeff for ferrying her to the hospital.) 8 hours later and Thatcher arrived. He was 8 lbs, being the largest baby for the day. He has been having a few breathing issues, so he has been in the neo natal unit for the past two days. We hope to have him home by Sunday. Megan is doing well, and Seth seems to be in good spirts.
Trick or Teat! We took Seth trick-or-treating and he had lots of fun. We thought it would be a big ordeal getting him into his outfit, since he was afraid of it for most of the month, but as the time came, he jumped right into the suit. There were TONS of spider-mans, wonder woman's, and power rangers. There was only ONE Cookie Monster, and that was Seth. Everybody loved the outfit. Click here to see the pictures.
It is Halloween again, and that means pumpkin carving. Of course Seth wanted to carve a "rocket ship pumpkin" so I went hunting the web for a rocket ship I could print out and trace onto a pumpkin. I thought it would be a simple thing to do, but after 30 minutes I decided to settle on a "just ok" image. If I had any free time, I would create a website where you could find all kinds of things to print out to trace onto a pumpkin. Maybe next year...
I also created a short ~2 minute video of the day. Enjoy!
"Airplane show Saturday"...
It has been so hot here (most days over 100 degrees) that we decided to get a Seth a wading pool. So far it has been a big hit, with both Seth and the rest of the family. Here are a few pictures we captured.
Seth had his 3rd birthday party today. He got a ton of cool stuff, but the top present was his replica of the NASA space shuttle Endeavor (which can be seen in the picture to the left.)
Megan and I went to our first ultrasound last week. It is amazing how much the technology has changed in just three years. We were amazed when right before our eyes we were able to see a 3D image of our new son (we won't be positive of the gender for a few more weeks, but the ultrasound tech was fairly confident in her assessment.)
For a over two years now I have been running www.fayling.com/seth as a place to let friends and family know about pictures and movies regarding Seth. At that time, blogging was in its infancy and I determined that it would be easier to run my own site. After a few years of growth, I now believe it is time to migrate my old site to this blog. Mostly for the RSS/ATOM subscription model, allowing you to subscribe to this blog and to be notified when it changes, instead of relying on me to remember to to tell you when I have updated the site.
