This moment would be the thundering crack of lightening as a spring storm approaches. A baby in the swing asleep, a full belly of food and content. A dog "cat" napping and a cat desperate top get outside. One moment creates a bunch of moments, or is it the other way around? A bunch of moments create one moment? Either way, combined, they are momentous.
..Thought for the day...
Gonna get some garden pics up once I get it started. If anyone has any heirloom plants they want to share let me know. I have some okra seed from last years plants, they were some of the largest okra plants I have ever seen. Let me know if you want some.
maybe some more pictures of Audrey will be up today! I will have to get my wife in gear!

Something new when old is the new fad..........
Saved $70 today at the G Store, wife Sara is the one to compliment on that one. Got me a picnic to bbq one day to! heeeeeyo.
Got some big time props to give out and do some homeboy marketing at the same time. Doug Mccormick (a fine Chesterfield County/McBee product) released his new CD last week. Go get it, its gooooood.
For you Tar Heels, Chase Rice ( a fine Tar Heel football product) released a cd to. It is gooood too, go get it.
Been dabbling on the Twitter scene a few days now, mixed emotions are swirling. I do not really understand the lingo and hyphenating, or why I only get 140 letters, or whatever it is. But it seems fairly cool, gonna give it some more time. Holler and me and follow, @paulheels. Probably gonna have the same witty, unique paulisms and words of wisdom as the blog and Faceplace.
Audrey has been awesome. the cooing and aahing are fun and it just tickles my innards when she smiles at me. Sara has been the one updating pictures and the sorts. I can not wait til she can sit up and crawl around. I know I am going to get the usual, "you just wait until she starts crawling you are gonna be run ragged"... blah blah blah. I CAN NOT WAIT, gotta lose some more weight! Gonna raise her right and early, eating dirt in the garden will be a picture soon!
Yall keep in touch. Holler when you are in Aiken and we will feed ya.

Catching up...
So, we've had a busy couple of weeks since I posted last. Last weekend, we went up to NC to visit our families and participate in the UNC football lettermen alumni weekend. We left Thursday evening, which in hindsight, wasn't the best plan. Audrey usually has her last feeding around 7 or 7:30 and then goes to bed shortly after. Usually this is a long feeding because she is gearing up for a long stretch of sleep. Well, since we were driving, I gave her a bottle of breastmilk instead. We ended up having to make a few stops and she was just cranky from being tired and having her routine all messed up. Audrey and I spent all day Friday in Cary with my parents. She also met great grandma Avedian and we all went out to lunch. Paul was in Chapel Hill at a golf tournament. We had so much fun and Audrey did so well all day! She gave everyone lots of smiles and coos and pretty much melted everyone's hearts. She sure does love to talk and give you smiles and little laughs. I can do that ALL day. Friday night, Paul and I went to the Letterman dinner at Kenan stadium, while Audrey stayed with my parents. We stayed a little while, but not too long b/c I was very anxious to get back to my baby girl.
She slept like a champ Friday night, and Saturday we went to brunch with my family before heading to Chapel Hill to spend some time with Mimi. We were supposed to go to the Spring game but it was cold & rainy so we opted out. Mimi enjoyed the extra time with the baby girl. That evening, we went to Paul's mom's house and spent the night there. I'm so glad everyone got to spend time with Audrey and I couldn't believe how happy she was the whole time!
Sunday, we woke up and went to Randleman to eat at Paul's mom's new restaurant, Deep River Cafe. Everything looked and tasted so good!
I think Audrey ( & Stoney) were exhausted from the busy weekend, and they both slept most of the way back home to Aiken.
Audrey is now 10 weeks old and today she went for her 2 month MD appointment. She weighs 11 lbs 3 oz (50% percentile) and is 22 inches long (10-25% percentile). She has grown so much! I'm so proud! She got 3 shots today, but she handled them pretty well! She is right on track for everything. She's still a happy baby. She sleeps so well at night! 9 hours last night.. She's starting to bat at toys and squirm around a lot. She loves to sit in her Bumbo seat and watch tv (whoops!). She loves staring at faces and recognizes our voices. She loves going outside and we go on walks or sit outside everyday.
I have 2 more weeks until I go back to work. I have very mixed feelings about it. I just never thought I could be so content at home. But I am... I love every minute of our time together and I'm really going to miss it. She'll start daycare and I'm sure she'll be fine, it'll just be an adjustment for everyone.
Ok time to go... somebody just woke up :)

2 months old!
Audrey is 2 months old today! The last 2 nights have been a lot better sleep wise. She is back to just waking up once a night. Yay! She goes about 7-8 hours straight before waking to eat. Pretty good for a 2 month old. She is currently sleeping next to me on the couch on her Boppy. She's doing a lot of cat napping today. We had a busy weekend so far. On Friday, we all went grocery shopping and then to our friends house for dinner. Every week we get together with 2 other couples and do dinner at someone's house. It's a lot of fun and I'm so glad we get to do it every week. Luckily, we all live within 5 minutes of each other, so it's so convenient. Audrey has been participating for the past 3-4 weeks (which means we are now able to get back to participating) and she does great. On Saturday, the weather was gorgeous, so we all went to PetSmart with Stoney then went downtown to walk around and eat lunch. Audrey really likes being outside and was awake but not crying while we were out. We also took a blanket out to the backyard and hung out some. Paul grilled some pork chops for dinner to round up our day. We had a great weekend, it just went by too fast! Oh, speaking of weekends, last weekend, Audrey went on her first road trip to Asheville (well Fletcher) for Santi's 1st birthday party. The weather was cold & rainy, but we still had a great time and Audrey did so well. As long as I kept her fed, we were good! She did great on the 3 hour car ride each way too.
Audrey has become quite the talker. We have long conversations that include lots of smiling and cooing. She definitely knows Paul & my voice & makes eye contact with us. She continues to breastfeed well and is growing like a weed. Since her 2 month dr. appt is not until April 15th when she'll be 2.5 months, we did some measurements on her own. So, her unofficial stats are:
Length: 21.5 inches
Weight: 10 lbs 9 oz
And a reminder, her birth stats were:
Length: 18.5 inches
Weight: 6 lbs 6 oz
Not bad for 2 months!
Now for the videos and pictures:
