of course, nobody thought to snap pictures at what may have been the most exciting event of the day — that is, when the new dad was changing a tire that had...

blown-out

on a turn

doing 70mph

on the highway

coming home from the hospital.

it should be mentioned that nobody in the car had ever even had a flat tire, much less a blow-out. what can we say, we're over achievers. we like to do things in style.    :)

and what did the petite prince think of our new house, which we had worked frantically to prepare for his arrival? well... he didn't really notice. he cried a little — but he mostly slept. kids these days.
