Q1: So, is he sleeping through the night yet? A1: Actually, about 5 months ago this was a hot question. Now, I don’t hear it as often, probably because everyone assumes the answer is yes. Well, the answer is NO. Jude has never (I repeat, NEVER) slept through the night. He still gets up at …

Bahamas and Back
Last Friday, Andy, Jude and I, along with my mom and Andy’s mom went on a short cruise in the Bahamas. Jude traveled great. It appears that he will be Daddy’s little co-pilot (Andy has a private pilot license). Jude is such a social butterfly. He loves seeing and charming new people. And, people love …
A Peaceful Couple of Hours
Around Christmas time, Jude was hanging out at his Grandma and Grandpa Olson’s house while Andy and I were working. His Grandpa Olson gave Jude his cell phone (that acts as his business telephone line) to play with. Jude managed to shut off the phone without his grandpa noticing. It was a “peaceful couple of …
Daddy’s Boy

Separation Anxiety
Before Jude came, I had very little experience with babies. I remember holding babies a few times. I remember that the babies would cry and I would have to pass them back to their moms. I remember thinking how fun it would be to be the mom that the baby was passed back to. My …

Andy is 30!
Yesterday was Andy’s 30th birthday. We celebrated on Sunday. We went to church and then Andy’s family came over. Andy’s brother and dad helped Andy rake the leaves (which is a fairly simple process considering that Andy’s parents have a lawn tractor that does most of the work). My mom also came over. We ate …
Pictures of Jude’s Favorite (and Only) Cousin
Jude’s cousin, Ivan, is a darling little critter. When Jude first visited him shortly after his birth, little Ivan was still quite jaundiced. Some people have been commenting about how dark Ivan is. He really isn’t that dark. It’s just that the pictures posted on our website don’t accurately reflect him anymore. We need to …
