Coming this September

Surprise! (to us and you) We are having another baby!

Just last week Diana commented that this year would be boring, no graduations or moving or babies or new jobs...

Our new little boy (let's just assume he is a boy considering I have all brothers and so does Di and all of IJ's cousins are boys) will be 18 months younger than IJ. Needless to say, Di is feeling pretty overwhelmed at the prospect of having two kids in diapers. And lets face it, I also require a lot of attention.

And congratulations to the Chamberlains on their surprise!

First Haircut

IJ has been in desperate need of a haircut for weeks! Believe it or not, in 10 months he has not had a haircut! At first his long hair was cute, then it was really cute, then it got past his eyebrowns, and finally we were combing it over a-la Donald Trump. So this morning we finally broke out the clippers.

5 Years

Yesterday, Diana and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. When we got married, we verbally agreed to a 5 year term (no kidding, we have always joked that after 5 years we would call it quits). I am pleased to announce, that after a night of intense negotiations (and alot of flirting on my part), we have agreed to extend our marraige another 5 years. Diana was hesitant to accept the extension at first, but the fact that we have a baby, and that I am actually bringing in a paycheck, ultimately won her over. I did have to promise not to go back to school, to do the dishes more often, and never to chase her around the house with stickers ever again.

As an aside, one of my neighbors where I grew up asked me if it was a mistake to marry Diana. She must be the only person on the face of the earth who would possibly ask me that question instead of Diana. At the time, I was too shocked at the chutzpah of the question to put together a coherent response. But I have to say, that it was no mistake (on my part) to marry this beautiful girl. The last five years have been wonderful and I look forward to countless more.
