January 10th, 2010 must have simply been spent in hibernation, as I didn’t end up with any pictures from that day. I believe that was when Grampa Ray and Grandma Barb headed home for Florida. From the weather I was reading about down there, they didn’t miss much being up here. Thanks for visiting you two and your help, too!!
January 11th and 12th made up for the lack of photos from the 10th. Here they are!
We were instructed to make guitar faces. Ian’s smile is not quite fierce enough for a proper guitar face, but we’ll work on that. See this image larger.
Took him in for a quick haircut… I think he was exhausted and pretty serious. Might have had something to do with the proximity of a pair of sharp scissors. See this image larger.
And I think that rounds out this story, as Grandma Sue headed for warmer weather as well. Thanks for visiting and all your help! It was great having you here!

On January the 8th, 2010 Nina had another check-up with Dr. Bultje, with little to report, and in this case, no news is good news! See this image larger.
Grandma Barb holds Nina in one of her many outfits of the day, this one a catchy pink and white number with a luxurious purple evening blanket suited for a night out on any town. See this image larger.
Here Grampa Ray models with Nina in purple jumper wrapped in a formal white blanket with pink border, perfect for office meeting or interview. See this image larger.
January the 9th, 2010 turned out to be a major day for pictures! So for the rest of this entry we will focused on that day. Here, Ian and I snuggle up to play a quick game of “Cars.”
If 90% of your body is asleep, this is about how much you can smile, sorry folks.
This picture looks like the perfect time to proclaim that Ian is doing brilliant as an older brother. Ian has handled having to share his parents with the sort of grace that only the bravest of children could know. I imagine this would have to be very hard, and I often think of what I must have meant to my brother when I was first born. That said, here he wanted Nina the heck off of him. Pronto. See this image larger.
Grampa Ray proudly holds two of his grandkids, while Nina flashes Ian a peace sign. See this image larger.
Eventually there got to be too many clicks of the shutter and we started getting faces like this from Ian… See this image larger.
A bribe of c-a-n-d-y was offered by a certain parent of his in the room who shall go un-named but wasn’t me, and blammo, just look at that genuine smile! See this image larger.
However holding grandchildren is all it takes to bring a grin to these grandmas’ faces! See this image larger.
A bonus amount of coinage from a change purse was also supplied, and Ian made quick work of putting it all in his robot bank! See this image larger.
Meanwhile Grandma Sue sneaks in a quick hug with baby girl!

Sorry about the delay, folks… we’re trying to return to normalcy around here in many ways. Melissa and I actually got to see a movie the other night, on TV. Nina’s sleep schedule is getting to where we want it, almost. Lots to tell so let’s get to it!
Here’s a quick note to all the grandparents – please go get your camera right now, open up the settings, and make sure that the date and time are correct. You have my thanks if you do this for me, and here’s why: I try to do the blog in chronological order. Your camera stamps a time and date on each picture file. I can sort by that date. If the date is wrong, this is all for naught. Please help.
This first shot is way out of order with the rest of them, but I thought it would be important to show the bili blanket as the whole thing looked. In time I’m giving myself permission to move this picture with the rest of those that correspond to this topic. Nina doesn’t look happy, does she? See this image larger.
Grandma Sue showed up on January 4th, 2010 to meet Nina and see Ian again… this picture was taken on the 5th, as Ian listens with rapt attention to a Curious George story! See this image larger.
Ian and Mommy use their Dyson’s to clean up the house a bit.
They did a good job, no?
Grandma Barb and Grampa Ray arrived on the 6th to see our cute little bundle! For those trying to keep track of the continuity, it was this morning, a bit before Barb and Ray arrived, that we found out that Nina’s chromosome test came back normal. See this image larger.
We went out to eat at Cinqo de Mayo that night. Ian enjoyed a chip in some salsa, and showed off what a good little boy he can be at dinner! See this image larger.
That night, and Grandma Sue takes Ian on another romp with George! See this image larger.
Word of Nina’s birth reaches Ian’s daycare. They were kind enough to make dinner for us one night later on in the week. These are good people. I’ll re-format this image someday so that it fits better. Apologies. See this image larger.
