90 Day Satisfaction Guarantee

Can you believe Ian is already three months old? I think we’ll keep him! The last many weeks have been spent mostly trying to catch up on work, so we have a lot of time to catch up on here at Ian’s blog. What better way than through pictures? Not all of the pictures here […]

Baptism Date Confirmed

On May 20th, Ian will be baptized here in Rockford, Michigan. That’s 6 weeks or so away… looking forward to seeing anybody that would like to show, but please be advised; this is not a huge ceremony. Methodists don’t have the “sponsors” step up to the altar, or to my knowledge, even have them stand […]

Grandma Sue is Recovering Part II

Granny Sue had some complications to her aforementioned surgery, however she has since re-recovered and is making her way towards “well” as we speak!

Hellooooooo

Alright, so this is truly only for those of you whom are very brave. To watch the video (linked below) you should probably have the following: 1. A high speed connection. 2. Patience after the download for the video to fully load. It’ll take a solid couple of minutes. 3. Patience for about 7 minutes […]

Grandma Sue is Recovering

Grandma Sue sends her thanks to all of you who wished her well and good luck on her surgery. She’s in recovery at the moment, and immediately said she felt “normal.” The relief on her face told me that she hadn’t felt that way in awhile, and that normal can be a really good thing!

Happy Belated St. Patrick’s Day

Went to the doctor today and we have a few updates. The first is that Ian is still healthy and has slipped to the 75th percentile in both height (24.25″) and weight. (13lbs and 1oz) The only other real update was that I have to say that it is very sad to watch your baby […]

Real Smile

We’ve caught some smiles before from Ian, but most of them were related to gas and a lucky shutter click. Melissa confirmed with me today that as we were making goofy faces today near the upstairs bathroom, at around 12:20pm, Ian smiled real smiles. It was awesome. We’ll share with you soon!

Chapman Nomads on the Move Part 2

The weekend before last was our trip to go meet Kaylee! The three of us made it down to Ohio in about 6.5 hours with almost no fidgeting at all! The only crying happened when we stopped to eat, and it was very much within reason. On the way back Ian did quite well, only […]

Chapman Nomads on the Move Part 1

Ian is more awake, alive and alert than ever, making weird noises and looking around him so much these days. If you haven’t seen him lately, don’t be surprised if he’s a little more of a “person” than when you saw him last! I saw him change in the course of a day. Just crazy! […]

Howdy Cuz!

This morning Ian’s new cousin appeared in the world! Welcome Kaylee Ann Kunze, who arrived at 8:32 am at 7lbs even and 20 1/2″ long. Sounds like Ian’s first major road trip is in order! Heartfelt congratulations to Melanie and Ben; and her big brother Connor as well! Here’s a pic!
