The bidding has begun for favorite relative status for this little whippersnapper who will soon be born. The amount will remain undesclosed for the time being only to motivate competition, but the main contributor and first-place winner THUS FAR is our favorite dad!!! For everyone else, don't get left behind!

I smile in your general direction. Does that put me ahead?

No way Jośe. You have to ante up with some cold hard cash, like I did. Of course, until you are as well established as I am, you won't be able to afford to outspend me on a plaque to hang on my granddaughter's crib.

Yeah, with the $1.26 he sent we're going to be able to get a really "special" plaque.

Ahem. let me remind you of what you said: "the relative that sponsors the Nelson Baby fund by sending the most money for her benefit will earn the grand prize of having your picture and name engraved on a plaque"

So far, I'm there. Pure and simple.

I expect a picture of the plaque posted here for my review and approval before little Kaiser Fontana makes her debut...and it HAD BETTER have my picture on it like advertised.

Was that in nickels and dimes, or just pennies?

I'm sure we can "engrave" your name on a piece of paper that also has your picture printed on it. We said nothing about letting you approve the plaque.

I'll trust you to make the plaque appropriate to my position in the family.

Deathly Hallows A box came in the mail on Saturday...it contained TWO copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows . One for me (happy birthday me from Chad) and one for Chad. I'm about 1/4 of the way through it. Do YOU have your copy?!? It's also officially my most hated time of year. Camping is over and it's HOT and even in the evenings it doesn't cool down much below 70 degrees. I can't wait for October, the best month of the year.

Those poor Jehovah’s witnesses showed up at the door here again . They come here every few months or so. They rang the doorbell and my father-in-law (Craig) answered it. They asked if he'd like to talk about religion and he invited them in and said he'd love to. To make a long story short, he asked what makes the Jehovah's Whitnesses special and what was their "compelling doctrine". Their response was "well, we read the bible." Craig- "So do the Baptists, Catholics, and Mormons..... so what is special about your church" JW's- "we belive in Jesus Christ" Craig- "so do all of the Christians.... " JW's- "We preach the gospel" Craig- "Um... that still isn't original. Tell me why I should listen to you over anyone else" JW's- "Umm... I don't know..." Craig- "Well I'll tell you what the Mormon's compelling doctrine is that makes us different from everyone: We have ...

potty training done

Kiera is 100% in "tinkling" in her potty for 5 days now (except at night). I'd say potty training is done. I do have to say though that the transition from little potty to big potty was difficult (it didn’t help that Lydia was sick either). She would tinkle a tiny bit and then ask to go again 5-10 mins later all day long! Finally I was trying to make dinner and after being interrupted twice by her asking me to go (meanwhile my sick little Lydia cries hard when I leave the room with Kiera and if I bring her with she rolls around our nasty bathroom floor). So she came up and asked again “tinkles, mommy!” So I broke down and busted out the little potty and put her in front of the TV on it. I then picked up Lydia and nursed the poor little thing to sleep. Kiera tinkled quite and bit and was quite pleased with her self and pulled out the tray beneath the potty that holds the tinkles before I could stop her (I don’t run very fast when I’m holding a sleeping baby). Of cour...
