3 Months

Evan turned 3 months on Dec 4th and the day before he learned to rollover and can hold his head up. Now we have to keep an eye on him all the time so he doesn't roll his face flat on the floor, but at least he isn't just laying there like a stiff. Now only if he will learn to sit up. Here is a picture holding his head up and his love of Tony Romo.

Day Off

This past Thursday Jasen had the day off so we went strolling down Main Street in Grapevine. It was perfect weather and Evan was in a good mood. We had sandwiches, which after further thought we decided they were not all that great, and looked at all the great wine stores and even stopped to smell cigars. Here is a picture in the little Farmers Market area where they are setting up for Christmas.

7 weeks already

This is just a new picture of Evan. He loves to smile

One of the most original funny things I have ever seen

Pretty cool

Google is celebrating its 10th anniversary by giving you access to its search engine from 2001. Its amazing how far google has come. Google away...

Geez, more baby pictures

My good buddy Andrew Rozell and his lovely wife Heather Rozell came over to take some pictures of Evan for us. Andrew even went and rented a really high quality lens to use (I didn't know you could rent lenses either). They went to a lot of trouble and took some brilliant photos. I'll tease everybody with a couple of the ones he has sent me so far. I'll also take this opportunity to thank them again and remind them of what great friends they have been to us. It rare that you find people in the world that you get along with so well and you are so comfortable around and we have that. We consider ourselves very lucky.

My favorite picture of Sarah

I was just looking through some old pictures and came across my favorite picture of all time. Sometimes its hard to explain why you love a picture so much, i think certain pictures elicit certain brain responses to different people. This picture was taken in the Coca Cola factory in Atlanta, GA. This is in the room called "The World of Coke" or something like that. You get to taste Coke products from all over the world. Some were pretty good, most were repulsive. Anyway, I remember this fondly and thought I would share.

The baby has arrived

Its been a while since I have updated this here blog but as you can imagine I have been a little busy. Evan Michael Southward decided to join us in this world on September 4th 2008 (he wanted to share a birthday with his dad) at 10:51 pm via C-Section. Mommy tried her heart out for 17 hours but he was just too big, weighing in at 10 pounds 4 1/2 ounces and 21 1/2 inches long. I'm so proud of mom and baby and I am so happy to bring him into a family that already loves him so much. Here are some pictures of the little bruiser.

Baby Watch 2008

Evan is officially 1 day overdue. He is already disobeying his parents and is officially going to be in timeout once he is born. Sarah as you can see is delighted to be 40 weeks and 1 day pregnant...

Baby shower??

So at work today my coworkers decided they wanted to do something nice for me and throw a "baby shower" I am slightly uncomfortable with the name however I am touched that the people I work with think so highly of me that they would like to shower me with things. So I get to have cake (fantastic) and some sort of gift item (so very nice and unnecessary) I hope to God I don't have to give some sort of speech....

Tick Toc..Tick Toc....

We have had a lag in the blogging due too not much going on except for us just waiting and waiting. We are currently 5 days away from the due date of Evan being here..doesn't look like he will be arriving anytime soon. We put the car seat together and tried it out in Jasens car..and boy that was a disaster. Its going to work out but, it seems to take up a lot of room, so we are going to be a little scrunched for the time being. Here is a picture of what his room looks like.

Bank of America loves Josh Hamilton

I can not explain how unbelievable watching that Home Run Derby was last night. Its very rare in sports where you find yourself routing for someone that has talent that people may have never EVER seen yet is the most humble person in his sport. The guy plays Major League Baseball like I would if somehow I magically got some semblance of talent. He looks like a kid who couldn't be happier to just be in the stadium.

I have a man crush on Josh Hamilton

Funny?

Based on the recent outcry for more posts from my many readers I have decided to share something that I cant decide if it is funny or disturbing...or both....you be the judge.

Welcome

Welcome to the blog, I must admit that this wasn't my idea initially because I'm not sure how I feel about the family blog or the blog in general. More on that thought in a moment. Never the less the Southward family is now officially a part of the electronic sphere that is the Internet. We plan to provide those that care some updates on the family coming and goings as well as maybe some things that we have discovered and find interesting. So I hope that you enjoy this going forward but please remember that as humans we need to maintain some interpersonal communication via conversation so please text me if you want to IM later. Peace.
