YAY!

I don't have anything to say. Well, except for the fact that Atom had a doctor appointment today He is super healthy!

anyways... Pictures!

We're all smiles

Let me start off by saying sorry. There are no pictures in this post. But this cloud does have a silver lining. Darbie, Atom and myself all went to get some pictures done. Yup professional family pictures. Darbie and I are very excited. We think there will be some really good ones in there. We did take it seriously, I even got a hair cut. Which if you know me, you know that I hate getting my hair cut.

What else happened this weekend? Well. We had big plans... but they fell through. We had planned to go to OMSI. We held off though because we were going to go to the zoo. Which we did drive out to. But it was so crowded that they were shuttling in visitors from another parking lot up the free way. So instead we went down to Saturday market. Which in itself was quite an experience. While walking around, carrying the baby none the less, we were hit up to buy some pot. I really can't do anything but laugh about it. It was pretty rediculus. Another person was petitioning us sign to legalize pot. Darbie and I had a good laugh that we both must look like the "type". We also saw Elvis of the Church of Elvis.

Not a whole lot else has been going on. It seems like we have been busy with plans for the last couple weekends, but this next weekend we don't have solid pre-planned plans. It may be nice to have a weekend like that.

So with that I'll leave ya, thanks for reading!

They sold earplugs at the pirate fest.. yup. they cost a buck-an-ear

It just started raining. wow.

Things are going good for us. We have spent the weekend in Portland hanging out with my parents. Mostly because the Portland Pirate Festival is going on this weekend. We went and had a really great time. We got out of there right before it started raining. We had some really good birch beer and got a cool bottle for it. Good food, good entertainment, and I got some pirate pants. Yay!

Okay, here are the normal updates -

Atom:


He is doing really good. Getting big. We got him a swing, which you can see in the 2nd picture. It has been a huge help for his evening collick. Not a whole lot else to say. He's been smiling. But he is still a baby.

Darbie and Myself: We are doing good. The weather has been reaking havock on my alergies. Darbie has been watching a lot of Buffie the vampire slayer and I have been playing a lot of castle crashers. That's about it. So, yeah... until next time!

Bye.

Hello!

This weekend we are in west linn/beaverton/pdx areas. We are staying at my parents house so that later today we can meet up with Versoza grandparents. We are all very excited. Okay, updates!

Atom: This kid is amazing. We have been toting him around everywhere and he just goes with the flow. Sure sometimes he cries. But I would to if I needed to be changed. Atom got a bunch of clothes this last week. I'm not sure if any of you saw, but old navy had a baby clothes sale. We got him some halloween jammies, some little hooded sweatshirts, and a couple owl themed onesie things. We have been getting a ton of compliments on him, (which isn't a surprise). The funnest thing happened yesterday after we were done at powell's we were packing him into the car and talking to him while we were doing it and he smiled at us. It wasn't a quick, just one side of his mouth, but he full on smiled. It was one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my life. It made me feel like a dork because he was smiling at Darbie and I... but all I could do was cry. Color me a proud papa.

Darbie and I: I'm going to make this quick as I need breakfast and a hit of caffiene. Darbie and I are both doing well. I think the items of note for us would be that pound puppies, cabbage patch dolls, and care bears are all releasing 25th anniversary lines. We were just giddy last night when we found them, Quickly both recounting our collections of cabbage patches, pound puppies and kitties, and then both teaming up to note how ugly the anniversary care bears are. They look like an accessory that would go well with a gold or silver purse rather than be a fun doll. All these things still hold only a close second to the yo-gabba-gabba toys that were just released... at least in my opinion.

Anyways that is about it. Hope you are all doing well. sorry for the lack of pictures. He is getting bigger every day. next time I post pictures you probably won't even recognise him.

if you eat a hot pocket cold, is it still a hot pocket?

So I was really sure that I would have something fun to post about last weekend. Don't get me wrong, We had a really great weekend, just nothing out of the ordinary happened ya know? So I'm sorry that I didn't post over the weekend, even though I promised.

So, what is new then?

Atom: It seems that he is trying to smile. It's fun to catch him taking naps. You can tell when he is dreaming about eating which is fun. But sometimes, just barely, it looks like he is trying to smile. Goofy kid.

Darbie: She is doing really well. I think she is tired, which is to be expected. Atom has been crying almost routinely every evening. Last night we took a drive before he could start and that seemed to help. Darbie also is trying to make him go to bed earlier, which is hard on her because I know she wants to stay up, but probably also needs the sleep.

Mikee: Me? you don't want to know about me... you do? okay. fine. Things are good for me. My recent mantra has been: "stay busy"... maybe mantra isn't the best word. Maybe it's just a voice haunting me... Overall, everything is good. Oh, and I might be getting a tattoo tonight!

let's see. Wrapping things up... Next weekend is a wedding, weekend after that is Versoza great-grandparents, weekend after that is portland pirate festival, (look for the cutest baby pirate, he will be with us), the weekend after that is when we will most likely be taking our first professional family photo! So there you go, a little glimpse into the future. If I can control it, your next story on here will have photos of something. Take care everyone.
