The Exciting Times of Aaron

So, I thought it might be nice to give an update on myself, Aaron, because I never post on this blog. Exciting things are happening for me right now. First, last Saturday night at work a kid tried to stab me...I restrained him and took him down pretty hard. Nobody was hurt, and now the 250 lb fourteen year-old respects me a little more. 

Second, being a new dad is good; I enjoy it quite a bit. Baby A is getting more smiley, I understand that most of them are not controlled but it's cute anyway. 

Third, Trine lets me sleep though the night until 6:30ish because apparently I have turrets syndrome in the middle of the night if I am woken up...I don't know where that comes from...I can't help it.

Other things happening in life right now...I have been doing a lot of research on becoming Vegetarian, a personal decision that kind of came out of nowhere. I have a coworker that has done vegetarianism for two months and says that he has lost a lot of weight and feels great...so I started doing research. I haven't eaten meat in about three weeks. Don't worry, I am not going to get preachy about this.

I have started looking into graduate schools again. It's funny, our schools of choice have changed more often then Dennis Rodman's hair. Right now we are looking in Wisconsin, Ohio, Flagstaff, Iowa, Virginia, and Nebraska; a lot of these places we would of never considered before. I am starting to study for the dreadful GRE again, I need to raise that score by about 100...I hate that test more than anything in the world.

That is about it...here are some recent pictures of our happy little boy. Peace out Yo!

Special Request

I'm thinking of making our blog private, but thought I'd start by asking anyone who has linked to our blog please list us as Trine and Aaron, instead of using our last names. Thanks so much!

Memory Lane

The instructions are as follows:1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

I put this video up yesterday in hopes that it will tide you over until I have the presence of mind to post about politics. Enjoy. In the mean time does anybody have any wonderful solutions to help a REALLY gassy baby?

Funny Stuff

My sister showed me this video today.  I just love how the little baby is so smiley about inflicting pain on his brother.  

Things here are going well. Asher continues to be a great addition to the family.  So far getting up at night isn't awful. I actually like the time to chat with him while he's eating. We don't talk about anything in particular.  One good thing that Ash has done is lessened my obsession with the upcoming election. I actually turned NPR on in the car today and realized I have no idea what's going on in the world right now.  I just know that gas is expensive still and the olympics are soon. Oh and apparently a bunch of celebrities had babies that probably aren't as cute as mine. So I'll take this opportunity to thank my baby for breaking my addiction...at least until the conventions. 

One Week

I thought that the lack of sleep was supposed to be due to the baby wanting to eat all the time?  It seems this week that I am the only one in the house who isn't sleeping for one reason or another. Bothersome hormones.
