The newest arrival

Introducing at 8lbs 14ounces measuring 20", Zachary Thomas Voet.( pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/cheng.voet ), my son, born October 18th 2006.

I have been away from my computer for some time now, due to trying to find a routine with the new baby. It has been pretty hectic around here, trying to find a routine that fits. Zachary is not sleeping much at night, an hour here, if we are lucky maybe 2 hours in a row.

I can honestly say, I haven't really missed the computer that much.

The most adorable thing, was what we were most afraid of. It's how our dog was going to react to a new baby. He is a very large dog, and is very intimidating. But the best possible scenario played out. Mason, is very protective of Zachary. Whenever Zachary cries, the dog goes to inspect, if we are trying to burp the baby, and he is crying, Mason will come and put his head between our hand and the baby, basically trying to say "Don't hurt the baby!". And as you can see from some of the pictures, the dog is very happy to be near the baby, and to watch over him.

anyways, that's all for now.

Readying for baby

This past weekend, my wife and I finally decided to finish off some of the final things for the upcoming baby.

Making sure the hospital bag is ready.
Installing the child seat base in the car. These new seats are much more complicated then they used to be. Especially with new laws, and restrictions.

Statistically, 8 out of 10 people have their car seat installed improperly.

oh well....at least the big day is coming up very very soon.

I'm getting very anxious to meet our new child.
