HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

"tiny hands, tiny feet
i've waited so long for us to meet
who could've known a love so true
i'd given up hope, then along came you
innocent and perfect, you're safe within my arms
I'll watch over and protect you, i'll keep you safe from harm
with mischief in your smile and wonder in your eyes
watching you as you sleep, feeling every sigh
i could look at you for hours and always be content.
you became my living angel when you were heaven sent.
just the thought of you, makes my world seem full..
you are my life, my love," my daughter
my precious Taylor. ~ Modified Version ~ A Godson's Love© Samantha Richter



It was a scheduled c-section and the nurse asked me if I was alright after awhile in the operation room. But no fainting on my part and wife was a real trooper through the whole thing. Not sure if I could go through that.

Wife and new RugRat are doing great though.

Thanks everybody for the well wishes. Now the fun begins with life full of diapers, pooping, and lack of sleep. Oh yeah!!! Bring it ON..

Time is NEAR!

Yes the time is near for the new rugrat to enter the Bubba household. Seven days and counting to be exact.

Are we totally ready, not quiet sure. Sure the newborn clothes have been sorted out and pampers are ready to be worn. What else does a newborn actually need besides the essentials.

Are we freaked out, not really, maybe because it will be our second child. But it has been a long road to get to this point so I'm sure we will be overcome with emotion when we see our rugrat for the first time.

Hmm, name yet? Have some ideas, 2 to 3 to be exact, but nothing special or crazy like what the celebrities call their kids nowadays. But "Xenia" the warrior princess did cross my mind. She is a strong women who does not take any crap and since my dogs are named after Greek mythology/characters as well, it was just a thought. We shall see?

On the training aspect, I'm starting to get my body used to training for an IronMan again. The three plus times a week on each sport does take a lot of energy to pull off on a weekly basis.

My twinges or injuries are still chronic. Plantar fasciitis I feel will take forever to go away. But I can run, just the aftermath is a little painful, but getting a little better.

Still waiting for this dang cold weather to break or get around 50 degrees to take out my "baby" as well for a little ride. My "baby" or winter project is complete now. So this year a new ride will hopefully make me faster or at least more comfy on the longer distance races.

So when I got this it was like this:



So with keeping FedEx, postal service, and course Ebay stimulated with my cash. My new ride has becomes this.

Mechanic: Bubba


Ebay Cost: Cha-ching $$$$

Retail price Bigger Cha-Ching $$$$$
