Here I sit again in front of the computer.  I apologize for the lapse in posts over the past few months or so.  I am amazed, but I expected the changes that Haylee has brought into our lives.  Gone are the days of laying around on my days off and not doing a thing.  Gone are the evenings of a quiet dinners out with Ericcia and just being another couple eating out……nope, at times we are the couple with cute baby, and other times, we are the couple with the baby who won’t shut up.  There’s nothing like wolfing down twenty or thirty dollars worth of food, just because you think, and probably are, bothering those around you.  Case it point:  Ericcia, Haylee and I spent our Presidents day riding around Nicholasville looking for fireplaces.  After visiting my old employer, we thought we would stop by Bob Evans and get a bite to eat.  Haylee was fine going in, but two or three minutes into the meal….all that changed.  She couldn’t be pacified (I’m unsure who she got this from).  I finish eating pretty quick so I can walk around with her while Ericcia finishes her meal.  The walking around helped, but Haylee was still a little irritable.  Of course, once we went out to the Jeep and headed towards Georgetown, guess who was in a better mood.  It wasn’t Ericcia or I…….   Oh yes, the gooing and gaahing started up and within five or ten minutes, she was out like a light. 

I must say though, one of the most positive changes, I think, is the fact that Haylee likes to go to bed early!  I am pretty sure who she got this from.  Her last meal is at nine o’clock and Ericcia feeds her in our bed and stays there after that.  I can’t tell you how much I enjoy hitting the bed early again.  Haylee is also sleeping through the night and has been for a while, so we are extremely blessed in that regards as well. 

Just a few things that have been going on with me otherwise:  Work is pretty hectic as usual, I’ve been called to jury duty for three months, I am playing regularly with the praise band at church, I am gaining weight, getting more gray hair and loving every minute of life.  I think I have rambled on enough so I will leave you with another picture of Haylee.  Both of these were taken last Sunday at Protrait Innovations in Hamburg.  Pretty neat place and the photographers are great and really know how to work with the kids.  It’s hard to believe she is already three months old!
