<div class="MsoNormal">
The subject of this blog is a phrase I have heard several
times in regards to there not being a blog for a month or 2 or 6. its not said in a friendly voice. . . Much has changed since august, so I will try
to outline what occurred in each month since then. Truth be told the Company I worked for IPO’ed
in October which made the time leading up to it less than ideal for blogging
and the time since not a lot better, due to sleep deprivation, never wanting to
see a keyboard unless its necessary, and a few other side effects. Thankfully it couldn’t steal my hair any more
than nature had already started doing, so I have that going for me. Anyway, here’s a synopses by month<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
September – In September we started to notice a real uptick
in kinsley’s words, which was neat. Of
course this meant that there were three females in the house vying for a
limited amount of time to speak, but thankfully I am really good at not
talking. OCCASIONALLY, that may be due to my addiction to learning which lela
would call my addiction to reading twitter facts about the Hawkeyes, but
generally its due to my willingness to do whatever it takes to make this family
run, don’t listen to her. I made my 3<sup>rd</sup>
trip of the year to The Printers of the year for our pending IPO this month
also. For those of you not fluent in
accounting nerd, The Printers are a place where they print things. I know, shocking. Well they help you get awesome 400 page
documents ready to file with the SEC (the regulatory agency, not the conference
devoted to cheating). They are magical
places where you spent 20+ hrs straight, with immeasurable amounts of food and
drink – sort of like casino’s but with windows so you can see the outside
existing and also without the potential loss of anything other than hair. And a few other things. Anyway, emma was in soccer in the fall. She did a bit better than previous tries,
she’s getting there but is still a bit on the timid side.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
October – Emma coins the term “Stand behind your horse,
Kinsley”. Of course I am pretty sure she
meant to hold her horses, but she still says that saying to this day. The Company I actually worked for IPO’ed that
month, a bunch of us got to go watch the bell ringing which was a great
experience, but New York and I were ready to break up for awhile. The Casa de Huebner just doesn’t flow quite
the same when one of us has to travel.
Lela and I went to our first Hawkeye football game in a few years, the
Hawkeyes rewarded us with a win in OT.
We still haven’t seen a home loss together, so any time the Hawkeyes are
in need of a win the should call us and give us free tickets. No seriously. I tried to get the girls addicted to What Does the Fox say, which was successful, but they eventually figured out it was annoying. I mean I thought it was funny but females apparently disagree<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
November – we took emma to her first Sporting KC game. It was super cold and of course went into OT
and it was late so we couldn’t stay, but emma seemed to enjoy it. not surprisingly there were the many annoying
fans (many of which annoyed me more than emma) but it was great. I look forward to taking emma to her first
hawkeye game in the next couple years, which inevitably will be worse Thanksgiving is in there obviously too. On top of the usual t giving festivities we headed
to Disney on ice on our way back. Please
note, Disney on ice was at the same time as the ohio state/Michigan game that
came down to a 2 pt conversion and we were driving as Auburn took Bama’s field
goal back for a touchdown. These are the
things we do for our kids, such sacrifice!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
December – this was the first year emma really, really got Christmas. Our Elf on the Shelf, Gabby, was spoken of
frequently, htough I am not totally convinced she aided in better
behavior. Kinsley seemed to like the
concept too, she at least got into trying to find gabby every morning. our street does a pretty good job of lighting
up their trees at the very least, and every night the girls were excited to see
the lights. Of course I took the lights
down fairly early after Christmas so as to not be doing it on a bitter cold day
, so we had to explain to emma (who was very disappointed) that some people are
just rebels and leave them up. She didn't
like it. we still didn't bite the bullet
this year with a real tree, we figured we’d get one last year out of our fake
tree. Anyway, Christmas was a ton of
fun, the cousins had a blast together and its really fun watching them get to
experience this stuff together. Emma did
go back to school and told her teacher that santa didn't come because grandma
didn't go to bed as she woke up and saw grandma on the couch. She never informed us of this and of course,
Santa did come, so sometime I worry that she is going to tell some random story
that is going to end with me in jail. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
January – Kinsley’s bday.
It is really hard to believe that Kinsley is 2, she is still our little
peanut (generally around 10<sup>th</sup> percentile in most advanced metrics,
or whatever it is the doctors measure her on) but she makes up for her lack of
size with pizzazz. She’s very active and
doesn’t take crap from anybody, I have seen many occasions where she throws an
arm bar at another little person who gets up in her grill. Not that you want your child to be mean to
other kids, but its somewhat amusing to see her request space in that
manner. Her and emma have really built a
bond too, when one is away they seem to be so lost without each other. Since Kinsley’s 2<sup>nd</sup> birthday she
seems to be talking like crazy, even more than in the fall. She has sentences now and is really good at
communicating most things. MOST, as in
not when there is an emergency like when she really wants some pistaccios, you
know the important stuff. One of my
favorite parts of the day is when Kinsley wakes up she yells “MOMMY IM UP!!!!”. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
February – nothing too much as far as activity. My company was releasing Earnings which meant
there wasn’t a ton of free time and lela was busy with year end crap too. We did ge out in the couple small snow storms
and get to play. The girls are not made
for the snow, they generally come out with me while I shovel for about 15
minutes and then want to go inside to get hot cocoa. Not that I blame them, but isn’t shoveling snow
almost as fun as hanging out in a warm house?
Emma is also more and more sure of her funniness - she loves to say things and then just
smile. “End of Story daddy” (a saying that she hears from her teacher at
daycare), “Really daddy I don’t think so”, “Actually” (I say actually a lot, I
admit it), “that’s not really fair to me”, “ do it to me!!” (whenever we are
lifting Kinsley up or doing something that is much harder to do with a 4 yr
old) are a few things we hear frequently
with emma. I have broken up with college
basketball at least 6 times also due to the hawkeye’s late season swoon. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway in general the girls are great. I mean we did have a weekend where we
discussed the viability of duck taping your child at nap time, but you’ll have
that with rice fueled little people.
Emma is a great kid, she loves to do things like color (which is the
last thing I would have ever done as a child) but she is also a very physical
kid, which is fine. She’s no boy (there
is a noticeable difference) but she’s not a princess which is just how we would
want her if we could choose (of course we choose nothing with emma, she
dictates). Kinsley is non stop laughs,
she loves to play with babies, even if it mostly means just taking off all
there clothes. She also comes home most
nights and requests that I put basketball on, which makes me happy, maybe we
will have some ballers in the house.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tis how we would describe Disney.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Before we start into it I want to preface it with
thanking<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>my parents who made it all
possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want to be clear it was a
great trip where we had a ton of fun<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that
we will always remember, so please take my other comments in jest in that they
are amusing observations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To our youngest daughter Kinsley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cannot wait until you have an 18 month old
child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I pray each day that that child
lives life with as much “enthusiasm” as you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Accordingly when you have an 18 month old, we are going to take you to
Disney.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will also stay on resort and
let you enjoy 25 min bus rides from each resort while your child also expresses
the enthusiasm through screaming and thrashing around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh and we will for sure bring our stroller,
in hopes your child can get mad every time we put her into and then fall asleep
finally as you try to exit the park and have to get her out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, note to Disney, you have a great place
and you print money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe you can come
up with a bus system that allows open strollers so we don’t have to wake up
kids to get on and also so dad doesn’t have to be the guy constant folding it
up and running into everybody with it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hopefully your husband will take your screaming child outside too when
said child freaks out in every show possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We know all you really wanted was to be able to walk around,
unfortunately while you are a very skilled walker for your age, your legs have
the length of a 9 month old and don’t get you anywhere very fast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To our oldest daughter Emma – we hope to do the same when
you have a 4 yr old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We hope that your
child is also as enthusiastic as you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
hope that she freaks out if her opinion isn’t followed also and that she follows
the similar pattern with the whole falling asleep as we leave the park as you
did too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully she enjoys the little
mini water park at the hotel as you did and plays for hours in it (see I am not
totally snarky).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We hope that she enjoys
meeting princesses also and parades and sleeps the entire flight home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully your husband doesn’t get sunburned
at the beach as I did and have to deal with a huge blister on the top of his
foot and sunburn everywhere from when the sunscreen that he applied 4 times
washes off<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in the water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We really did have fun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Emma got into the princess and parades the most I think.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She enjoyed some of the rides, but she is not
the most adventurous kid in the world, rollercoasters are not her thing for
sure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luckily she had just surpassed the
magical 40 inch requirement that allows you to go on the majority of
rides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kinsley had fun too as she loves
animals, but really wants nothing more in life than to walk around herself<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and see the world. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emma still talks about Disney and how she
wants to live there <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(she says that about
many things she likes).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also had a
great day at the beach as you can see in clearwater, sans the lighter
complected folk getting some crazy sunburns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Oh and the flight back, though it was delayed was phenomenal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emma literally slept the entire time and Kinsley
a decent chunk .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our house is much like the US economy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our currency – cheese.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you want somebody to stop crying or put on
their shoes or get into the car or really anything constructive, cheese is paid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We really have no idea where the love of it
came from but its discovery has been very important to getting out of the house
on many occasions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are like the
economy where while I think in general things are really good, there are some
dark days where you don’t want to turn on MSNBC to hear the bad news or in our
case what boycotting naps has caused.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For some reason our girls don’t like to naps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well I should say they don’t like naps at our
house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Which is awesome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At school their teachers rave about how good
of nappers hey are generally, Kinsley lays down and is out in no time they
say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emma if secluded from all
opportunities to be social (as in basically sleeping in the corner by herself)
sleeps really well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While we love our
princesses dearly, there are certain hours we prefer to not spend with them on
the weekend, namely nap time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Napless weekends then lead to scary afternoons
where we go from playing gleefully to everybody laying on the ground crying. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know you are thinking “it’s a house of
females, this happens” and you are right, but it’s even worse than you think. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course this does lead to some longer
evenings for mommy and daddy as everybody goes to bed early, but I think we’d
much prefer someday for everybody to just nap and be happy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Emma is in many ways the best mix of Lela and I and in many
ways the worst.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I was a child I
wasn’t always Mr Social that liked to go out and meet people and be all
friendly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emma has inherited this to
some extent in that when we meet people, even people she knows, she gets all
shy which drives me insane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lela didn’t
like to go to bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know this because
Lela still doesn’t like to go to bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Emma doesn’t like to go to bed at night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She comes out at least 2 times every night after she’s been put in bed
to have some sort of discussion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I
think I need to put my baby to bed” or “I am afraid to flush the toilet because
of the monsters” or any other number of responses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The problem is that while they are annoying
her narrative is really, really hard not to laugh at.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Friday night she came out regarding baby not being
in her bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I told her her baby was in
bed already and quickly scrambled to get the baby out of her high chair and
into bed in case she made her way down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Emma totally called me out “what’s that noise?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t know what it is because I am up here
and you are down there but I don’t think my baby is in bed.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emma is also obsessed with sickness, which we
hope is a sign she will be a doctor, but is probably just indicative that she’s
a goofball.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She talks about throw up
more than one should and if someone is sick seems almost excited about the
concept.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Kinsley is in the “I am obsessed with stairs and think its
funny to run away from my parents” stage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We haven’t put up the gates just yet, we are putting it off, but we
probably should<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as every other time you
turn your back Kinsley is making a run for the border.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She’s been talking a lot more and you can
tell she really thinks she’s saying something but we obviously don’t understand
it yet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Welcome to my world as the only non
male in the house who doesn’t walk on all fours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I will post some pictures of what’s been going on in the
Huebner house this week.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Holidays with the Huebners</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We just wrapped up “Christmas break” Wednesday, it was weird
to go back after 12 or so days of doing random things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started off with a trek to Iowa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And by trek I mean, are we ever going to be
effing done with this drive trek.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
hadn’t gone to Fort Madison for probably 5 years, so this year because it
worked out timingwise we decided to incorporate it into our travels, with the
problem being that it adds about 5 hrs to our trek to Alden.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh and that’s with a car packed to the brim,
because you know, we have to have an outfit for each child for any scenario
that could come up as they don’t leave the house for 3 days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also were going a route that we hadn’t ever
gone before, which inevitably makes it seem even longer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thankfully McDonalds sells apple slices,
which is one of their greater contributions to mankind, so we stopped a couple
of times and McD’s, listened to the same songs about 1 billion times and arrived
for dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the time we arrived in
Alden at 11:30 I think everybody was ready to be out of the car and be done
with the voyage.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">While there we spent most of the time inside as it was
rather cold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also reconfirmed that
for whatever reason to this point Emma doesn’t like sledding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We didn’t have enough snow last year to ever
try it but the winter before when we took Emma outside to sled she hated
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>we thought it might be because it
was generally really cold, but Emma never seems to mind that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She continues to be a wealth of weird nuances
that make no sense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some call that
womanhood. . . </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What Emma does love is all forms of crafts,
she spends a couple hours a day when we are at Grandpa and Grandmas either
frosting cookies, painting things or any number of activities that Grandma puts
together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her and her cousins also love
the basement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s this place that is
there’s where they can go to get away from all the trappings of the old people.
. .and gives us a nice break from parenting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Emma has been quite a handful the last couple months so while I was
excited to see her experience Christmas, I was dreading what presents and
sweets and all that was going to lead to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Emma took it on like a champ though, she was a good listener, didn’t
have any major meltdowns and was generally sweet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Kinsley did pretty well also, that’s a long time for someone
who doesn’t even get to face front to be in a car.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She’s still in a bit of mommy mode so at
times she gets to a bit clingy with Lela, then if Lela isn’t there she reverts
to me, but she’s easing up a bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
still doesn’t believe in naps, so that can make afternoons touch and go but we
are working on it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She’s took her first
steps 2 weeks before Christmas and now is stringing 10+ steps together and is
pretty proud of herself for it. She’ll move to her new room in daycare, so
that’ll be a nice change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mornings are
pretty nuts in the Huebner house and packing up breast milk, fruit for
breakfast and other items gets to be a bit painful, so her moving to the next
room and not having to bring all those items every day will be a welcome
change.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">While we were on break we also worked on the various
projects that had been getting put off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Unfortunately now that we are doing that with 2 people who don’t like to
nap at the same time (if at all) productivity was limited, but it was nice to
have some time with the girls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We did
send them to daycare on new years eve in hopes of getting a fair amount done,
which we did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, it was snowing a
nice wet snow, so Emma and I went outside to build a snowman right away when
she got home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately this coincided
with the start of the Indiana/Iowa game, but I sucked it up to build a snowman
which was a great experience to get to do with Emma.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hadn’t really done a snowman since I was a
kid, so our snowman was short, fell apart a few times and may have had a pickled
jalapeno as a nose for a period of time, but he made it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am glad Emma isn’t yet of the age where she
cares that the house down the street has a snowman with an actual carrot nose,
is twice as tall, has a hat, and really is the Channing Tatum of the snowman
world, whereas ours is Jonah Hill in such a scenario.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then again in thie Glee driven world maybe
our snowman is actually cooler because he cares about the environment and is
funny.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s a blatant 21 jump street
reference if you didn’t catch that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

remember the only reason I believe it existed is there are pictures and well
children can’t just start at 4 months old.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Month 4 Kinsley starts sleeping, sanity restored.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s amazing what a little sleep can do!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Month 8 – crawling begins, where’d Kinsley go?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Obviously there’s about a million other things that have
happened in the last year, but it doesn’t do Kinsley justice. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I still haven’t posted our holiday blog but Kinsley
has taken up walking and spent most of her birthday party walking around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She has also discovered<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>emma’s polka dot chair and will spend 30
minutes just getting into and out of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She’s also really started to open up whereby while she isn’t extremely
outgoing (which might be a bit odd for her age) she warms up to new people
fairly quickly and shows her sparkling little personality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She has gotten to be so much fun, we can’t
imagine life without her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She did great
at her birthday party and while she didn’t participate in the various things
happening, she seemed to enjoy getting to watch the kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since we seem to be even more busy now with
2, it seems harder to sit back and savor every moment with Kinsley but ever
second we get to spend with her is a blessing just like every moment with
Emma.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Where do I start after the lovely 3 month sabbatical. . . <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Kinsley is growing up every day. She’s still a squirt, she
was about 7% as far as height at her 9 month appointment, but she can really
get around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She started getting herself
to standing up back on September 10 and started crawling September 20.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She now is in full bore mobile mode, she can
get pretty much anywhere fast and is working on walking a little whereby she
can stand for 5 or so seconds without support.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She’s a great eater, and is currently loving meats of all kinds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thanksgiving was a bit rough as she threw up
as we were preparing to leave for iowa and being away from home with a sick
infant is less than ideal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kinsley still
is not a night owl, most of the time is in bed by 6:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She still doesn’t have nearly as much hair as
emma did at that age, but she has a fair amount.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is however following in emma’s footsteps
and hates naps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We love that she is a
great sleeper at night and would take that over being a napper, but couldn’t we
get both with one?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully she’ll get
the hang of it as she moves into the next room at school when they go to 1 nap
a day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Emma is, well unique.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She continues to be hilarious at least part of the time, she has a nack
for saying things that make us burst into laughing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lela loves to cook as I may have previously
mentioned and emma has really gotten into helping her with that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh and emma tried soccer this fall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was okay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emma was the youngest on her team and never
seemed to get comfortable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She seemed to
do well when she was trying, but most Saturdays became a power struggle whereby
Emma would whine for a snack or space out in protest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> There was probably some "holy crap these kids are bigger and knocking people down" in there, but mostly power struggle, which would end with Emma crying on the way home because she didn't try. </span>Sigh. Emma's a good kid, but she just pushes every limit ever, so some nights its good that we don't have a waiver wire for her :) Sometimes we need to go to our respective corners and take a nap (I am very pro-nap for adults also). Gymnastics is up next, we shall see how that goes!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Emma has been going through quite a phase the last month or 2, whereby
she is a handful at home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By most
accounts it sounds like she is doing well at daycare, but when she comes home,
sass is to the max.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While 2s weren’t all
sunshine and roses, 3 is proving to be even harder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emma did have a great time over thanksgiving
with her cousins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The three of them go
off and play together for hours, which is a nice break but also great to see.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So one of the harder things about being a parent is
travelling for work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On one hand you get
a bit of a break, and sometimes get to go to decent locales, like Miami and San
jose- my last 2 destinations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
generally get some good cuisine and nights where you don’t have to have the
usual 4 pm “Who is picking up the kids/what are we having for dinner/how the
heck are we going to get food ready to avoid a meltdown/should I go home and
start dinner and you pick up or vise versa/etc” conversation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You don’t have to chase emma around to try to
convince her that in fact staying up all night wouldn’t be a good idea for
anyone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You get to come<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>back to a hotel, watch whatever you
want.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You have nice white sheets and
other people clean up after you when you decide to be a mess, you know
hypothetically if you are that type of person. Your workout requires an
elevator ride, you get to have starbucks every morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wait what was my point?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh yeah, that traveling as a parent can be
overrated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But there is so much you
miss.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You miss Emma eating large amounts
of cantaloupe that a hippo would scoff at.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You miss Emma screaming “Daddy” as she runs at you in the almost scary
voice I have mentioned before. You miss praying for every teacher in Emma’s
daycare per Emma’s request.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You miss
the homemade iced coffee brew Lela and I have perfected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You miss having more than 5 min to talk about
what’s going on in your wife’s day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
you miss having a dvr, which I have determined is now essential to living.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hate having to stay next to the tv to see
when the Today show is going to get around to interviewing various Olympic
athletes, I want to see it when I want to see it and if I happen to be shaving
for 2 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh and then there’s the
actual physical traveling.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So since I have started at QTS I have now travelled twice,
again once to Miami and once to San Jose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Again in theory playing a Will Smith song and looking for the Zuchster
in Silicon Valley seems great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But getting
back from said destinations haven’t worked out for me very well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In March, we headed to Miami to go to a
NAREIT conference, or as I like to refer to it, “The National gather of mostly
men who where sport coats and likely think they are significantly more
important than they are.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyway, on our
way back, our flight had mechanical problems which were going to cause us to
miss our connection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What resulted was
getting to fly through the ATL, whereby we had to run to another terminal to
try to catch a connection on standby only to discover that it was spring break
weekend and standby was 8 deep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Subsequently we had to fly into Springfield MO and drive from
there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My boss and I.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a long day and night, only helped by
the fact that we had XM and could listen to the NCAA tourney.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fast forward to August.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After putting up with insane heat for many
months, I got to head to Silicon Valley and enjoy some lovely temperate California
weather, hang out with many Asiatic people (note I like to use the term Asiatic
now after watching Hangover II, its grown on me and I find it funny to the
point where I will likely say it past the point of it being annoying), and feel
good about hanging out near Mr. Zucherberg.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Everything seemed to be going okay, other than the fact that Cali’s
roads lack sufficient signage and are hella complicated which resulted in a
scramble to get to the airport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Got on
the flight in time and seemed like I’d make my connection in the DEN with ease.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then as we approached the runway, the plane
turned around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then some dude got off
the plane and all of a sudden there were police around and everybody got the
joy of deboarding, going through some secret back hall in the airport, going
through security again and waiting for 2 hrs while we watched them search the
bags we had to gate check, which resulted in returning home 5 hrs later than
originally anticipated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am boycotting travel with my current employer
indefinitely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kinsley is continuing to work on backing that thing up, one
of these days she’ll start moving forward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Its exciting/scary times because we all know that once you go mobile you
don’t go back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am interested to see
how her interaction with Emma changes when Kinsley can move and can start
taking her stuff from her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emma is
continuing to be her full of personality self.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We as a family have enjoyed the Olympics and every once in awhile we’ll
show Emma some gymnastics and she seems to enjoy it, it’s only a matter of time
before I am convinced that Emma is the next great gymnast to bring home the all
around gold in 2028.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, I did the
math, that’s when she’ll be 19 as she won’t be eligible at 2024 because she’ll
be 15 and you have to turn 16 in the Olympic year, thus she’ll be the mature
leader of the team who helps keep the team focused.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We should have planned her birth year better
as that’s not ideal, Kinsley will be much better set up to be a 16 year old in
the same Olympics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Huebner sisters
leading the US to the gold?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like the
sound of that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course if Emma goes
the more conventional sport route, say basketball or soccer as she’s currently
projecting in the Mike has unreasonably high expectations and is trying to
not<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>be an overbearing parent scale, then
she’ll be more of a 2032 or 2036 participant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She could actually perhaps do both, and transition at age 20, good idea
self.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes being an overbearing
parent with unrealistic expectations is just too easy, you should try it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Only 2 weeks til football starts and I can pin my mood for entire weekends on 19 year olds, so I am already preparing my mind for our children to be there .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can’t wait!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Emma has 2 things that are important to her right now. Spelling and matching. We have to match everything, and we have hit the lovely stage where she wants to pick out her clothes, which obviously doesn't result in any tantrums ever or anything. And Emma has really been working on how to spell her name and a few others. When we drive by any sign with an E, M, or A, she yells "That's an Emma" and can mostly spell her name, get 5 or so letters of Kinsley's, and I am BIDDY, which makes me feel a little Sean Puffy Combs. She is also getting really good at coloring, to the point where she stays in the lines 90% or so of the time!</span><br />

She is they type of girl who will wrestle around with me and is adventurous where she feels comfortable, all the while if something new comes across her she is shy and hesitant. She loves to be the center of attention and to be a bit of a mother hen per her daycare teachers, but if she doesn't know people around her very well she is fine with blending in. She is the most stubborn person I know, even outdoing both Lela and I. But she has a knack for making us smile and will literally tell you the same story 5 times in 2 minutes, but somehow its not annoying. . .well not too annoying. She loves puzzles and can sit for a long time and do fairly advanced puzzles, but is just as happy running around (walking doesn't seem to be an option ever). We can't say enough about her, she struts around, is her own person, and we hope she stays that way. Well except for when that results in her laying on the ground in protest about how she wanted put on a different shirt than was laid out for her, but the individual who is okay with who she is and doesn't want to be any different unless she decides she should. <br />
<br />
Onto real events, Emma had quite the lead up coming to her birthday party. My sister and fam came down (aka Emma's mega fun cousins) Wednesday night and we spent Thursday and Friday doing a lot. Thursday we started by going to Deanna Rose. It was hot and we got there literally as they were opening the doors. it was great, we even had 10 minutes or so where it seemed like just us. We checked out the new Leawood Oklahoma Joes and then the afternoon was time for the family pics (I will post those later). After dinner all of us headed to the neighborhood pool. We are really blessed to have a great pool with a slide that the kids love. Emma even started going down the slide with us because she saw Julia doing it (more on Emma and the pool later). Friday we got up and went to Legoland. The kids loved it, next year we'll have to hit up the aquarium. finally Saturday came the party. We had a pinata, which was at least 30 minutes of entertainment and a few other things which didn't entertain for nearly as long. When it was all over and it was nap time, Emma was aglow. She couldn't get herself to sleep for her nap for well over an hour as I heard her in her room talking and singing. All that made everything worth it. It now took us at least 2 weeks to catch up on life. i am only partly kidding.<br />
<br />
As for the pool, again, Emma is a child that has to decide she wants to do something herself. We entered her into swimming lessons a few weeks ago and it was very clear that she didn't yet want to do it. As in she spent the first 2 sessions crying. . .for 30 minutes straight. She literally wouldn't do anything. Then came the bday weekend and we both went to the pool a lot and she got to see her cousins playing in the pool. It then all clicked and now Emma really seems to like it. As getting out of the house with an infant and a cranky toddler isn't what I would call fun, it has really enticed us to go to the pool more.<br />
<br />
Kinsley is moving on up too. she started eating baby food about a month ago and really seems to like everything so far. She loves to just sit and play, and mobilization may be around the corner as she has started pushing herself backwards. She still smiles a lot and makes some crazy faces, even more than i remember Emma doing. <br />

<i><u><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">A few
thoughts from Mommy</span></u></i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">1. What is your favorite
personality trait? </span><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Emma’s playfulness. She is such a goofy girl and I love
her free spirited nature– she doesn’t care that she like cars, puzzles and
things that are more typical “boy” activities. On the flip side, she also
loves to take care of her baby which is adorable to watch – sometimes she will
project conversations on her baby telling her “I will not drop you in the
water, have I ever dropped you??” after Daddy took her to the pool. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">2. What is your favorite memory
this year? </span><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Talking with Emma about her birthday party – it’s the first time
she’s old enough to anticipate it and get excited. She also has had many
other “firsts” – her first ride at Adventureland (which she LOVED), first pony
ride, etc. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">3. What is your favorite book to
read together? </span><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I agree with daddy that we love the Sandra Boynton books but I
love to read any book where Emma can recite some of the words from
memory. It’s hilarious. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">4. What is your favorite activity
to do together? </span><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Arts & crafts (coloring, frosting cookies) and “exercising”
–doing summersaults (“swimersuits” as she calls them) and doing “yoga”. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">5. What is the most difficult part
of parenting this year? </span><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">It’s a challenge dealing with Emma’s stubborn
streak – Emma likes to do things on her own terms and we do not always have the
time to negotiate on EVERYTHING so this can be frustrating at times.
Asking her to be our helper and leading her to make good decisions is a
challenge. We love her dearly and appreciate that she is an individual
but at times we just want her to comply! </span></i><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 12pt;">J</span></i><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">6. What is the best part of
parenting this year? </span><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Watching Emma become a “little person” and seeing how great she
is with her little sister. When Kinsley gets upset in the mornings,
sometimes Emma will hand her one of her own toys and say “Kinsley, it’s
okay….it’s okay, mommy has to go to work, it’s okay…” So sweet and we’re so
proud of how she tries to calm her down and is generally very sweet to her baby
sis. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">7. What is your favorite song Emma
sings? </span><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Twinkle, Twinkle Dinosaur and Mommy, mommy, I love you…yes I yes
I yes I do… As daddy says, she does make up lots of interesting songs
too. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">8. What is your favorite Emma’ism?
</span><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Emma just says things that crack us up….she’ll take something
she’s heard us say like “ I need to act like I am 3” (usually when we think she
is acting like a baby </span></i><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 12pt;">J</span></i><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">) or “when I was a baby, I pooped
ALL of the time!” and also says to Kinsley “KIIIIINSLEY….do you like
me???” in a high pitched voice. Too funny. </span></i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
9. What is one parenting trait you wish to improve. </span><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Patience
and setting a good example for Emma <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.2pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">10. Any last thoughts? </span><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">It is such
a joy to be a mommy to Emma – we love her so much and can’t imagine what life
was like without such a crazy little girl. I can’t imagine the fun new
Emma-isms to come! It is so nice to be able to talk to her about her day and
about things we are doing. I know this will improve as she enters year 3 </span></i><i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 12pt;">J</span></i><span style="color: #1f497d;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

who has been a pill all day because she refused to take a good nap and is about
as likely to surrender as Mel Gibson in Braveheart, on a day when you have also
had a cranky infant who doesn’t like the earth or being on it, and possibly

usually its probably that one time you hung out with me or for me it’s the day
when I was left to my thoughts and cracked myself up because of how witty I am
(hopefully you understand I am being very sarcastic with those comments), but
sitting at the dinner table and conversing with Emma about pretty much anything
is funny, and in a whole different and new way that you can’t replicate. Yes that was one sentence, I am too lazy to revise it to be better grammar.</span></div>

happy, only there’s a small twinge of crazy in her voice so you are afraid that

revolution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You eventually arrive home

(sometimes for mom, dad, and daughters) then run around, play on the playset
(and sweat) take a bath, fight the bedtime battle, and then hit the

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After Kinsley arrived, one of the first things on Lela’s
mind was when she could start running again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>While Lela didn’t have extreme problems, the second time around it
seemed it took her a little bit longer to get rolling to the extent that was
acceptable to her (note to her, not to a normal person</span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">) .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We found that after Emma was born<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it was good for both of us to have race goals
as it forced us to keep working out and figure out how to work around the new
post child workout life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I ran in the
KC half, Lela ran in the gobbler grind about a month later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time around I am still out of commission
because a hex has been put on my feet by <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>somebody who misinterpreted my use of the term
Wasian and thinks that I am a racist rather than a white person who loves all
things Asian (rice, noodles, spice, dark complexions, etc).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s my interpretation of how plantar faciitis
occurs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyway, Lela decided to get back
on the saddle and run in a race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
first we thought about doing a race on memorial day in Columbia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was all women, sounded neat, all
that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well that and the race that comes
the week after that is Hospital Hill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Lela and I have run in the 10k a few times and our comments always
involved the phrases/words “sucked” “hotter than humans should run in” “why
does God hate Kansas City runners and create these hills that somebody really
dumb decided to turn into a race”….well you get the point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had generally dismissed the half marathon
as a venture that should be left for others unless we wanted to see if we could
faint during a race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So HH wasn’t high
on our list of to do’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But then we got
to thinking (by we, I mean Lela saying “should we thinking about this” and then
me thinking about it. . .yes, my brain is slow and linear, like Casey Weigman).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do we really want to go 2 hrs to run in a
race with the whole crew, one of which might be up all night in a foreign
place?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do we really feel comfortable
amongst that many people who are Mizzou fans?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Could we get pulled over 5 times for having Kansas plates with hawkeye
decals (sorry about that whole Insight bowl thing Mizzou fans)?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also that race started at 7:30 instead of 7,
just wasn’t adding up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we signed Lela
up for HH.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So memorial day came and it was hot, that Saturday morning the low was
75 and my boy Gary Lezak kept talking about how a cold front was going to move
through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I monitored the race day
weather like it was a 4 star hawkeye recruit who was wavering on going to
Iowa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the race became more near it
was apparent, we were going to have a nice morning on our hands, some relief
was coming into the house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went to
Jaspers and carb loaded (even spectators need to do this just because).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We put the girls to bed with no real fits, Emma
was excited to get up and watch mommy run really, really fast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was pretty apprehensive at this point to be
honest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its somewhat daunting to get
everybody out the door with no tantrums on time, get Lela to the start line and
then occupy to lil Wasians for 2 or so hrs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Everything went smoothly, we dropped lela off with time for her to get
to the start and the girls and I headed to starbucks around 40<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> and
main.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If any of you have been to this
sbux you know, it has an interesting mix.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am pretty sure a young couple
was working on their drug business on their Apple computer - at least that’s
how I interpreted combining showing a lot of mid drift with pajama pants while
being 30 lbs overweight yet having the latest and greatest Apple gear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We high tailed it out of there and headed to
the hood to watch Lela first in the hood, then in Brookside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We timed it well and while Emma was a bit
shocked to see Lela, she thought it was pretty neat and had some big
smiles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She also almost knocked over a
police motorcycle. . .not really kidding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Anyway, we headed to the finish line and got to see Lela finished.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She did great, was near a PR, which
considering she had only been able to run for 3.5 months and it was hospital
hill was quite an accomplishment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
a great day, we were so proud of Lela.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our house is filled with a lot of laughter any more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sure there are those moments when we question
whether we will be able to make it without losing sanity, but Emma has a knack
for saying the most amusing things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
can’t even remember most of them, just that you can’t help but to crack
up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think she knows she’s funny also,
so its going to get dangerous around here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Emma is very confident and not the most prissy girl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As in her favorite thing right now is Lightning
McQueen, not that there is anything wrong with that and Emma finds various
girls princess things interesting, but she doesn’t seem to really care about
what she is supposed to like or not, she just does her own thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We hope this individualism carries her
through in life because at times it creates some <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>battles at our house that shouldn’t be so
hard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She has also become obsessed with
spray bottles, so if we want to keep her entertained, we just take her outside
with that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Knocking on wood, but Emma continues to love the role of big sister. She tries to comfort Kinsley if crying, entertain her if Kinsley seems bored and is generally excited to take Kinsley with us places. We hope that continues!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Kinsley’s natural pose is to put her hands behind her
head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When she is mad<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>she does it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When she is relaxing she does it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>is she going to be laid back, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>with her mind on her money and her money on
her mind (snoop dogg style, minus habitual marijuana use and the other things
not so great about snoop)?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ll see, Emma
was also the most chill baby in the world, and she is now, well not so laid
back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The thing I of course remember the most is the raptors, how smart they were, how they tested the systems and found a weakness. Then they attacked. That and how realistic the movie was, because that all could happen, and then how Jeff Goldblum plays the same character in every movie he is in. <br />
<br />
Anyway, why do you ask am I referring to a movie from the early 90s? Because its my life. While my life isn't in danger, and we don't have giant electrical fences, or special cars on tracks, or the ability to hide things in barbasol cans, its more similar than you would think. I live with a post partem, somewhat sleep deprived wife, a 2 and a half year old female and another female who likes to party (in the middle of the night) and is learning from the other 2. All 3 parties seek weaknesses and attack. I won't go into details about Lela because she is the raptor that can read, but anyone who has a quasi blurry eyed wife who recently had to release her baby raptor, er baby human, to daycare and is training for a half marathon and is overly competitive with herself about it knows what I mean. And Emma, well if she can tell you are tired of her doddling, or that she is standing on her chair and shouldn't (which is all instances of standing on chairs) then she is going to first continue to do what she was, followed by a possible tantrum. <br />
<br />
All kidding somewhat aside, I haven't blogged in a really long time so here's an update to our lives.<br />
<br />
Emma is becoming more of a "big girl" every day. She tells us stories and seems to always have things to say that make us laugh. those stories of course aren't replicable online, but there is generally funny things being said. As a father it is also enjoyable for me to find things that i can tell emma that she may repeat to others that will both confuse them and make me laugh internally if I know they occur. For example rather than just asking her to flush the toilet, I tell her "Ems, you'd better flush it down to poopy town," which isn't really that funny but makes me laugh. I also like to ask her who she likes best, me or Lela, which clearly both teaches her maturity and that she should like one of us better than the other. Can't imagine why I have been told by the eldest raptor to stop, seems like a good life lesson to teach emma. Emma also likes to tell us everything is her "fravrorite" sometimes her "fravrorite in the whole world" and randomly tells us "maybe I do X tomorrow" with X being anything from eating quesadilla's to riding on grandpa's tractor. My personal fravrorite is on weekends I leave her in bed a bit longer so she doesn't have to get up before she is fully awake and she tells me "daddy, I was really starting to worry about you." Anyway, again none of these are nearly as entertaining to read on a blog as they are in real life, but they give you a taste of Emma. She has a lot of spice to her so every moment is at least interesting if not entertaining. emma has also recently taken a liking to her tricycle and has gotten really good at it. its nice because its virtually effort free for us.<br />
<br />
Kinsley is growing by the day. Please note that I did not utilize the phrase "growing like a weed" because that saying drives me insane. I don't know why a guy who thinks its funny to say "flush it down to poopy town" has a problem with "growing like a weed" but I do. She has started sleeping a bit more, which is welcome. She started daycare at the beginning of April, and has really adjusted well. she actually naps some, which Emma never got into. She also has begun smiling a lot more, not that she wasn't before, but its more prevalent now so its fun to get her smirks. Sometimes it is nice to have one that isn't always running around and just wants you to hold her. She loves watching Emma, and I am sure will soon learn Emma's evil ways. We aren't losing our minds any more, we are just moreso trying to figure out how to make everything work with 2.<br />
<br />
Lela obviously also went back to work at the beginning of April and is adjusting back to working life. She is training for a half marathon, so back to crazy training Lela. The raptor comes out the night before her long runs especially, so Cooper and I have learned to tread lightly on that night.<br />
<br />
We haven't had anything too crazy in recent months. We joined fellow blog child Dylan H for his b day party at D Rose. Emma loved it. We happened to all be in Hawkeye gear (Dylan is a hawkeye also) which some may view as obnoxious, but some days you just wake up and all end up with a tigerhawk on. it happens.<br />
<br />
we headed back to IA for Easter. Emma had a great time with her grandparents and cousins and of course got lots of eggs in her egg hunts. We were greeted when we got home with sickness, Emma got sick one afternoon, with me getting sick that evening and Lela in the middle of the night. This created the perfect storm of torture where Emma was feeling better but couldn't go back to daycare while Lela and I were still sick. it was our first such experience, hopefully it will be the last. <br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sorry, had to give a little shout out to my boy Jeremy Lin
and thought the title was fitting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By my
boy I mean Asian guy who gives dad’s who want their children to be athletes and
those children are part asian so you want to prove to the world that Asian or
part asian kids can be good at sport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
don’t know if that’s remotely close to a real sentence, but thought I’d write
it anyway, and you get the point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
consider myself an Asian in law, and like anybody I get into things that I or
someone I live with can relate to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So J
Lin is Asian, I can relate due to being accepted by marriage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>J Lin went to Harvard, I went to Simpson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Virtually identical.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I played point guard in high school, he plays
it in the NBA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are practically best
friends.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So. . .remember the last post where I said we are
tired?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We still are tired if you were
wondering, possibly going Linsane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Work
has only recently began to let up for me and let’s just say Kinsley has spunk
to her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>sleeping in 30 min increments
some nights spunk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So until we get the
earth to work on a modified 28 hr day system, sleep is more scarce than we wish
it was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Knocking on wood or any other
material available, but it could be worse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>While she likes to party like Charlie Sheen at night (minus all the
illegal and immoral aspects that tie into that of course) she is pretty
chill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes that’s almost more
maddening though where people come over and see her and think she’s easy because
just just likes to be held and look at faces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We should probably do follow up calls with said people at 4 am when
Kinsley has been up every 30 min, lela’s going insane and I am responding in
grunts or nothing at all due to tiredness and my lack of ability to wake up
(lela really is happy when I do that also btw).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The other thing is due to the aforementioned cuddliness it’s really hard
to not be in love with Kinsley.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am going to knock on wood one last time for this post and
just know it covers all remaining things I say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Emma has been really good with Kinsley and the whole life altering
situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If Kinsley is crying, emma
will give her elephant (aka emma’s prized possession).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Emma gets up in the morning she
generally first wants to see Kinsley (who is sleeping due to her Sheenesque
parties). Emma seems to be able to play by herself better too, she’ll come home
and while one of us makes dinner, she’ll occupy herself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sure we still have tantrums and every once in
awhile she’ll hit Kinsley’s feet for attention, but she seems to be embracing
big sisterhood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emma also changed rooms
at daycare and seems to be enjoying the new challenge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was encouraged to hear that while her room
is 75% boys, Emma doesn’t take any crap from any of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Watch out world, this is a feisty one, and watch out boys you don't want to mess this one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emma’s had her ABC’s down for awhile and is getting
pretty good at being able to count things rather than<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>just throwing out random numbers if you ask her
how many of something there is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We may
have another accountant on our hands. . .you know if accounting was about
liking math and numbers like is the stereotype, even though 99% of accountants
don’t like either.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am the 1% though,
hopefully nobody protests outside our door anytime soon because of it. . <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emma did have a lovely day about a week ago
where she decided it was 1987 and having slits cut in your shirt is cool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s keep the scissors away folks!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The "you have no idea what its like" look in reference to doubling our little people count. We knew it would be different. We remembered the good old days after Emma joined our house when sleep was special and there weren't a ton of words coming out of the little one, just poop and yelling. But we thought, eh it wasn't so bad, right? Well it is. And it isn't. First of all, Kinsley is starting to look almost identical to Emma more and more each day (minus the previously mentioned rug that Emma had that Kins couldn't quite replicate). But it is just as hard as we (or at least I) expected. This time around I am at a very busy point in the year (no not doing taxes for the 100th time:) and oh yeah there is the Emma factor. Overall Emma has been better than I expected - I would knock on wood right now if some were near but I am too tired to go find some (even though its under my feet). But her emotions are still running rampant and at any moment we could literally have a 30 minute meltdown for very little reason. So there is that new variability. then there is the newborn factor. They are just so much more variable than toddlers and I think I forgot. you literally don't know if they are going to sleep for the next 4 hrs or get up in 10 min. you don't know if that lovely noise you heard is a shart - a term which I am not afraid to use where appropriate- or just pure gas. So Emma volatility + baby variability + mommy being tired = fear by daddy. Not like I may not live fear, but the kind of fear where I too am worn out from consecutive nights of little sleep and don't think I can handle a major event. Cooper feels the same way, he is looking at me while I type this with uncertainty in his eyes. <br />
<br />
At the same time I forgot how much fun it is to have a little person who doesn't almost throw out your back to pick up, you will lay on you and not move for more than 2 seconds. How weird it is to have a little being who really just wants their diaper changed and to be swaddled. And again Emma has been good. She is obsessed with Kinsley in a good way. Emma got a little bunny when Kinsley was born , but insists that its Kinsley's bunny and tries to put it in Kins's face when she is sleeping. Someday we will explain to Emma what a suffocation risk is, but for now we'll just enjoy it. She also wants to hold Kinsley a lot, which I think is a good sign. and when Emma is talking to Kinsley in what a teacher would call an outside voice, Kinsley doesn't budge because she's used to it already. And Emma overall has gotten a bit more affectionate which isn't something I will complain about. So really we are blessed. I am still scared but blessed.<br />
<br />
Lela seems to be recovering well from everything. Pinterest is her obsession this time around, so there's a 50/50 chance that Lela will forgo going back to work to be a chef who exclusively cooks Pinterest meals and that I will have to cut back in hours to work on the new projects that pinterest proclaims are so cute and neat. Thanks Pinterest. <br />
<br />
I don't think I posted either but we've had some big developments in recent months. while grandpa and grandma were here in December Emma decided it was time to work on some potty training. she's been doing really well since and even has pooping down. by down I mean it is our new favorite stall tactic. if I had a dollar for every minute Emma was allegedly going poop, I could go to starbucks for a month. Wait, maybe I should do that, good thought to self. Anyway, Emma also moved to a big girl bed. Its so weird to go in there and see her in this giant bed, but due to her ever increasing stuffed animal population it was necessary. Not kidding, we are up to about 10 friends in bed, with some nights where their presence is requested around Emma's head to the point where she is no longer visible. She's our little hoarder. But she likes the bed. Knock on wood but it all seemed to go well, we tried to be cautious to not throw too much change into the mix around Kinsley's arrival, but some of it just happened and it seems to be going relatively well. Which is scary. yes i live in constant fear. In a good way.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pics from our professional session and one from Kinsley's birth. I will upload more later, but am too tired and scared.<br />

for Kinsley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was saddened it didn’t interrupt
watching the national championship game or iowa’s bowl game or any other game
that I wish I hadn’t spent time watching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Maybe I need to watch less sports if it is bringing so much
dissatisfaction to my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyway, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it all started around 4:30 with me turning off
my alarm and deciding Tuesday wasn’t a working out kind of day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Coincidentally, I made of similar decision on
the day of Emma’s birth because I had to take some <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>physical exam and wouldn’t be able to eat that
morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lela got up and did work out,
because she’s crazy like that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On her
way back from the gym, Lela elected to treat herself to a pumpkin spice latte
from Sbux, something she rarely does.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
think that woke miss Kinsley up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
showering, Lela claimed that she didn’t feel quite right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I probed her what she meant it, it
sounded like the convo we had with on Emma’s day of birth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lela said “sort of but not really.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was pretty sure at that point we were
having a baby that day, but we went along our merry way because lela doubted
it. Basicall<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">y the moral of that story is that I am really smart, and Lela should listen to me all the time and never question me. </span>We both went to work, I called Lela
who still wasn’t convinced, but about 8:45 Lela called me that she was on her
way home because she didn’t feel well and I should “work from home for a bit to
see.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I packed up after sending an email
or two about Hawkeye football (you don’t want to leave people hanging important
about things), and ran home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I arrived
it was clear it was coming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To me that
meant we probably would get to the hospital around 9:45, Lela would labor for a
few hours and about 2 we would get to meet our little girl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was wrong. . . <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On the drive it was very apparent that lela’s contractions
were a minute apart or so, which for those of you with children that means
close.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I sped up some, noting that
Lela wasn’t a fan of life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We pulled in
to the drop off (9:50), I walked Lela in (who collapsed to the floor so they
forwent the usual paper work they for some reason make birthing moms do when
they get there) ran to the car, noted that valet parking had like 10 cars in
it, squeeled into a parking spot and ran in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I ran into the room and was told she was about to start pushing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>WHAAAAT?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What happened to the first labor that was allegedly fast but took 8 hrs??????<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lela pushed once, rolled onto her back,
pushed twice and it was over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>10:01.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am still processing the
craziness that that was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lela was a champ,
shocker I know.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Kinsley was in perfect shape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was 7 lbs 8 oz, 18 inches tall, so
shorter and chubbier than Emma.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had
less hair than Emma (who had a frickin rug that made my balding head jealous)
but was perfect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was just nuts to be
arriving at home less than an hour from when the baby was born.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not a revelation here to anyone but it was
also crazy to hold such a little person after being used to wrestling around
with a crazy 2.5 yr old.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Emma did well with meeting the baby.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She hit a point after a few minutes where I
think she realized that the baby was real and got quiet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But she moved on and her favorite thing
became sitting on Mommy’s lap while mommy held Kinsley, which is as safe as it
sounds!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As the pictures show, Emma is
doing well with everything <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and wants to
hold Kinsley as much as possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Grandpa and Grandma came down to play with her, she got to open some
presents (some for her, some for Kins) so its basically a 2<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">nd</span></sup> Christmas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Speaking of Christmas, I didn’t post about our
Christmas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was very quiet this year
because we stuck to OP due to Lela’s state of being (as in being really pregnant).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wet facetimed with the cousins, which was a
great alternative to just calling (and apparently a shout out to the evil
empire that is Apple), but it wasn’t the same without watching all the kids open
presents and have fun together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emma
enjoyed opening presents this year, though she was painfully meticulous, as in
it may have taken her 3 hrs to open presents if it weren’t for prodding by<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>impatient daddy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyway I haven’t uploaded all those pics just
yet but will have more later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here are
the first pics of the 2 together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I hadn't gotten a chance to talk about in addition to all the other stuff in our lives though, and its not like Christmas is a time to not be thankful. Here's the details of our last 6 or so weeks.<br />
<br />
We headed up to Iowa the day before thanksgiving. Mom, Lela and My sister went shopping at Jordan Creek that day because they didn't want to miss the Iowa/Nebraska game on black Friday.... Bad idea. I prefer to pretend the game didn't happen. But if it were to have happened and Iowa were to not have showed up for most of the game making a miserable 3 hrs on black Thursday, then it would have been their fault for jinxing them by changing a holiday tradition. Since the game never happened, won't blame them for anything. Anyway, we had a great time with the fam. Emma has 2 older cousins who are unbelievably great to her. They love to play with her, are extremely patient with her so it is really a blessing to just watch the 3 of them interact. Plus there is the whole Emma is entertained and worn out from trying to keep up so we get some chill time factor. My mom also has about 20 activities for the kids to do, so Emma had a blast. To boot, on our way back my parents bought us all tickets to Disney on Ice. Emma didn't know a lot of the characters because when it comes to tv she has the attention span of a gnat, but she thought it was great. We came back feeling very blessed and sad we weren't going to be able to go back for Christmas to enjoy that with everybody. It will be too close to baby #2's arrival, so we will have to have a facetime Christmas party with the fam.<br />
<br />
We are starting to get close to the arrival of baby #2. So very exciting. So very exhausting. I am scrooge, I know but it just seems like there is so much going on with that and Christmas that sometimes I feel like we need to slow it down and get frustrated with life. Oh and in the time honored tradition of things I do when Lela is pregnant I changed jobs. It was a great opportunity and what I wanted to do with my life when I grow up, so I couldn't pass. Its scary to do that though and it adds that much more going on with life, so life has been crazy at our house! Anyway, we are excited for our little miss to join us. <br />
<br />
In preparation for that event we moved Emma to a big girl bed. She looks so tiny in it, but she loves it. Knocking on wood. Its sort of a pain to put her to bed because reading on her bed creates a situation where she can be extra lively in bed, because like her mommy she likes to procrastinate on the whole going to sleep thing. Random semi related note - Emma has started requesting that I sing you are my sunshine immediately followed by the Iowa Fight song ("The Go Hawkeye song"). Again clearly Emma is turning a blind eye to the state of Iowa athletics the past month and how depressing it is. I am glad we are raising a sunshine pumper, pun intended.<br />
<br />
<br />
Finally, last weekend we went to see Santa. A local Hallmark had him and I think we are the only ones who go the memo (or email) as there was nobody there to see Santa. No line sounds great in theory, but it would have been helpful to have some examples of what to do with Santa. Tears were appearing, it wasn't pretty. On top of it this Santa clearly had an agenda, selling Elves on the shelf. So while he was pushing his product on us (even though I think I told him 10 times that we were going to do it next year when there as a chance Emma might slightly understand), Emma wanted far far away. Finally they suggested that Lela sit on his lap and have Emma sit on her. A little creepy yes, but it was worth a try. Then Lela claims he put his hand on her back, creepier. Then they suggested I sit on his lap too. We entered a new weird level of creepiness. Anyway, we got a few pics at the bottom. A few nights later Lela's work had a Christmas party with Santa. Emma and I waited in line for awhile (10 min extra due to a poop break), and when we got there Emma was only a little afraid of Santa. As we were the last ones there, and this Santa was a good Santa rather than a creepy, Elf on the Shelf peddling Santa, he talked Emma into sitting on his lap and even giving him a kiss. So lesson learned, a good Santa won't creep you out and won't sell you stuff, he'll just talk your daughter into sitting on his lap and giving him a kiss, which somehow isn't creepy.<br />

Sigh. I am getting progressively worse about blogging. Sometimes blogging is much harder than one would think, to me at least. Blogging has somewhat of an emotional investment to it, one that I can’t totally explain, but one that explains why to be frank I haven’t just not felt like blogging the last month or so, but rather the thought of blogging almost made me nauseous. I can probably point to a few things that may or may not cause that, but at the end of the day it is what it is, but hopefully now I am back. By the way, that paragraph was in no way meant to show emotion, because I am a man and above emotions.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Emma is a really great kid. Every morning we wake up not necessarily excited about going to work, or watching the Hawkeyes (seriously, Minnesota and ISU???), or getting lawn work done. We wake up excited because we can’t wait to see what Emma does. Will she make me sing the Iowa Fight Song 40 times or 50 (not even kidding and her daddy is very proud)? Will she run around the entire neighborhood on Halloween? Will she tell a joke that she doesn’t know is a joke but we die laughing? I can’t express how exciting every day is now. Every day she seems to be more fun than before, and its very easy to ignore that we have been told she is one of the more strong willed kids in daycare and that she fights us more than a lot of kids would because the fun far outweighs the not fun. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Emma has been very into a few things among others. She loves planes, hot air balloons, the moon and school buses. We live near an area where there are a lot of hot air balloons, a small executive airport and within a half mile of k-12 of BV West schools, so she gets to see 3 of those a lot, plus the moon is there wherever you go so those are point out to us frequently. It also turns parent's minds to mush. As I drive to work and see more school buses, I think in my head "Schooooool Bussss!!!!!". Only its just me and 810 radio in the car (Border Patrol style), so yeah, a little weird.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We did the whole pumpkin patch thing again this year. Again it was warm and everything is dried out because Kansas is turning into a desert. It was a short lived visit. We got the required photo and got out of there. This post is not at all jaded against the pumpkin patch visit that is required for parenting young children<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The weekend before Halloween was very unique in the land of Huebner. Lela went to Charlotte to visit a friend who has an infant. Emma went to Grandpa and Grandma’s house to have some “the world revolves around me” time. and I had man time at our house to hang out and do man stuff. When I say man stuff, it no longer means what it used to. Back in the day, man time meant waking up at 9, grabbing a breakfast sandwich at mcD’s, lounging around, spending 5-10 min doing something constructive, then lounging something more with trips to chipotle in there somewhere too. Now man time means I get up no later than 7, maybe treat myself to a bagel I bought the day before, get to work on various projects around the house as soon as possible, take a break that is the length of a movie and then get after some more projects that I haven’t had time to do most weekends. Granted, there is still plenty of trips to chipotle, but they are lessened by the requirement to finish the leftovers that are in the fridge and time requirements for projects. So yeah, life is different now! Anyway, I was proud I got various projects done while the ladies were gone, including a couple painting projects which were exponentially easier without having to worry about keeping a little wasian out of the way. and while a day or 2 of solitude is a good thing for me, I was ready for the craziness that our house is many days to return. Also, it’s much easier to get over Iowa losing when I have Lela and Emma around than when the way I have to get over it is by staining a chair. And they lost. . . .not that I am bitter or anything.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And then there is Halloween. Emma was a lamb. She loved it. And we loved it, it was our first real Halloween where Emma sort of understood. Emma went to lela’s work and quickly learned that accumulating candy is fun. It was however warm there, but Emma refused to take off her “hat.” It was also unseasonably warm for trick or treating around the neighborhood, so Emma got pretty warm. Not from sitting in her wagon as we had thought, but from literally running through the neighborhood. We went to walk to a house of Lela’s coworker that is about a half mile away. Emma ran there. I thought she would be tired from that and ride home, quietly into the night. Nope. She ran all the way home, then would not go to bed as she wanted to hand out candy. She’s a crazy kid. As Ludacris once said, “She gets it from her momma” or something like that. I don’t think he was talking about energy for running either, but we’ll use it in that context.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, here are some lovely pics<br />

As many of you know by now, we have having yet another crazy wasian gangsta princess. I don't think Lela gets this much, but whenever I tell people I get the "oh, that's so sad for you Mike" look. Maybe its the look most guys get, maybe its moreso me because I am extra masculine (I am being somewhat sarcastic), but it strikes me as a little odd as I reflect on it. Really, have you guys met Emma? I mean she is the greatest little kid ever, regardless of gender. Maybe I am not sad in the least because I don't know what I am missing, I quite frankly can't imagine life with a little boy. Maybe its because a part of me looks forward to protectiong my daughters from evil boys (I am less kidding than you probably think). Maybe its because I now never have to make the decision of when to allow a little boy to play tackle football. Maybe its because there is less risk of being hit with in the face with urine while changing a diaper. Maybe its because someday I dream of having a quiet afternoon watching non-Hawkeye games in the fall as the girls go shopping (note, when the Hawkeyes play, all members of the family watch, gender neutral style). Regardless, of which of those are more or less relevant, I am just as excited about having another girl as I would have been having a boy. Its probably a reflection on my shallowness, but because of my propensity to care a little too much about sports, the main thing that girls don't really do that boys do is football. And thanks to Title IX, that arguably gives a wasian Huebner girl a better chance at a full right athletic scholarship to the University of Iowa than a boy. And yes, I fully acknowledge that I am 35,000 steps ahead of myself and that as Lela reads this she is rolling her eyes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Emma is a funny kid, there are very few things she can't cheer us up from. They have been learning about sizes at daycare and Emma's favorite thing she has learned from that is "Big Truck" only Tr sounds like K, and well. . you can imagine what it sounds like as we drive down the road. . .Emma also now loves to ask what things are, which is amusing now, but I am sure someday the why's might wear on us a bit:) it also appears that Emma has pretty good eyesight (knocking on wood). She sees the most small minute things and amazes us. She also loves hot air balloons, and there are a fair amount of them periodically floating around South OP. One night one even landed in the little park in our HOA and Emma was in heaven. That was 2 weeks ago and Emma still talks about that night. <br />

Here's a few pics, I will keep up better in the coming weeks. Below Emma is sporting her first hawkeye jersey of 2011, courtesy of Grandma.<br />

</div><div align="left">Normally my posts are relatively light, but this one may not be. So if you aren’t in a heavy mode, you might want to check out msnbc and read about how the Kardashian wedding is coming along or whatever. Kim is getting married, right? Anyway, a little over a year ago, our family was struck by some unfortunate news: my mom had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Mom went through various rounds of chemo and radiation starting last July, and finished all that in Jan/Feb. it appears as though they have rid her of the cancer, which is great. The previous sentence about mom going through those things is not to diminish how hard it is to go through chemo or radiation, but moreso how seamlessly Mom made it through. Not to say she wasn’t a bit more tired, or that she didn’t lose her hair, or that at times it noticeably worried her or dad but at the same time she was still the same person in most ways she always has been. My mom is the person who will sit and play games with Emma for hours (not exaggerating), who can’t find most things without being driven, but always knows where the nearest mall is, who buys Emma endless clothes and books, including a lot of Hawkeye gear (which we like a lot of course), and who sings songs with her grandkids no matter where she is or how it may embarrass other parties around. That’s not all, but some of the high points and in many ways mom is the linchpin that brings and holds our family together. My mom never wanted to be known as Cheryl, breast cancer survivor, but rather Cheryl, grandma (among other things), with the breast cancer beating being something she did on the side. That’s probably why it was all relatively seamless, she wouldn’t let herself change in a good way.</div><div align="left"><br />

</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">So Kansas City has a Race for the Cure, similar to many other cities. Lela and I have participated in it previously and always thought it was a great event, and a great cause. We thought it would be great to have Mom come down and participate in it with Lela, so she could experience the celebration it is and also participate in her first race of any kind (my mom runs quite a bit btw, so the running wasn’t something abnormal for her, just hadn’t participated in a race). With many things we do for others or attend, we expect it to be moving and to a certain amount it is. With other things you think it might be, but you don’t consciously think about it, and then when you are there the gravity hits you and it is amazing. For us this was in that category. Maybe because we had participated in the event previously and thought it was cool. Maybe it was because we were running around the day before utilizing the grandparent babysitting system. Regardless it was extremely moving to be there, to get to share the experience with Mom and fight back tears at various points for no particular reason other than the aforementioned general gravity, and we were so happy it worked out. Oh and by the way we were blessed not only with Mom and Dad’s presence but a day where it was 65 degrees at race time, something that doesn’t often happen in KC in august! It was great to share it all with my mom, crazy grandma who sings endless songs, knows where Von Maur is in relation to our house within 10 min of us moving, loves the Hawkeyes and her grandchildren and who happened to do a number on breast cancer.</div><div align="left"><br />

</div><div align="left">You may be asking where the title came from. I saw a group of Asians who had t-shirts “Asians for the Cure,” which cracked me up, so I thought Emma will likely want to start Wasians for the Cure. As a side note, the Asians surprising weren’t taking pictures of anything and didn’t have cameras around their necks. </div><div align="left"><br />

</div><div align="left">Some other musings and I couldn’t resist adding a subtitle. Emma has developed some more interesting habits in the past few weeks. She found this dollar bill from a purse she got and has been obsessed with it since. She walks around saying “My cash” all the time. I have tried to teach her how to say “straight cash homie” ala Randy Moss, but she has refused to this point. For some reason Lela also thinks I shouldn’t do that. Weird. Emma also has become obsessed with laying cloths and blankets on things. For example she spent about a half an hour the other night laying a wash cloth on a basketball and putting her cash on top and then kicking the ball. Um, okay. Coincidentally, this was just after testing the Elmo Loves Potty dvd with Emma. IN theory such a dvd sounds like a good idea, since the only thing Emma likes is Elmo. However, Emma decided most of the time that she just wanted to practice climbing over and over. She did dance to a song by Elmo and Grover, but mostly thus far the dvd has just resulted in me having Potty songs in my head all day and no real results on the potty end of the world. </div><div align="left"><br />

</div><div align="left">Two weekends ago was one of several first for Emma. We tried out a little kids soccer “practice” to see how she liked it. Emma was in what I will call a special mood that morning, so it wasn’t fully enjoyable. Plus it was 80+ degrees in the room she was in. . . Emma really enjoyed the race at the beginning, to the point that for 90% of the class she just wanted to run around the room rather than trying any of the stuff the kids were doing. I got a pretty good workout chasing her though I guess. That afternoon we went to the lake for emma’s first trip on a boat with some friends who have a boat. Due to the soccer fun we had that morning, we were a bit nervous. It was also 100 degrees near the lake so we were anticipating her not only being a cranky mess, but sweating profusely while it happened. We were very pleasantly surprised to find out that emma loved the lake. She spent hours in the water, and didn’t really have a sad moment the whole time, so no “fun” stories to tell on that front thankfully.</div><br />

<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><div align="left">Sorry for the delay on posting. The week of Emma’s bday was a whirlwind, a good whirlwind, but crazy nonetheless. The house invasion began on Wednesday night, with the Johnson clan coming down. Thursday the ladies split off and went shopping while we hung out. Nothing overly exciting, other than it was hot and this summer . Friday we enjoyed a morning of pictures with the grandparents and grandkids. A little note on Emma. You know how some kids are the types who when they see the camera, they turn to the camera and cheese it up? Emma is NOT that child. The lady taking pictures didn’t grasp this and had Emma sitting the longest of the grandkids, so that process was lovely. Saturday morning we headed to wonderscope with the kids. They seemed to have fun, so it was a great way to start the day.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">So Saturday afternoon was the party. Let me tell you something about my wife. She takes this stuff very seriously, she wants to put her touch on it and make it special. Even though in 25 years when Emma has just started dating (I am a firm believer that if you say something enough, it will become reality) she isn’t going to remember what happened at her 2nd birthday, it’s important to Lela that everything is perfect. Year 1 bday party wasn’t so seamless, I’ll be honest. We were literally running around until the moment people walked in, putting things up after people arrived, it was a cluster. This year was much better. Lela also likes to put her touch on everything, and as she is a phenomenal cook and baker, she likes to make things for various events. Side note, Lela doesn’t think she is very good and generally thinks her food only tastes okay, but as a foodie wannabe, I can tell you she makes a lot of really good food. So the point I am trying to get at is we got all the food made that Lela wanted to make, and it all seemed to taste good, without the insane scramble that was year 1. Did I mention we had about 10 kids ages 1-5 there? I think when you become a parent, you get dulled to the craziness that is kids, because it didn’t seem nearly as insane as you would think. Of course when I spent 3 hrs cleaning up all the toys and dishes on Sunday, it probably also proved that it was crazy, and we just didn’t notice. Anyway, it was a great party, it was great to share it with friends and family and get to see all the kiddos play and allow the adults to mingle. We love to get everyone who has and will continue to mean a lot to us and to Emma together in one place, and missed those who are in that category who couldn’t be there. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Tuesday we had Emma’s 2 yr appt. Everything is going great, per the doc. Emma has shot up to around the 75th percentile for both height and weight, which the doc attributed to a likely growth spurt in recent weeks. After 2 min of being around Emma, without me saying a word, the doctor went into her “here’s how to potty train, change to a big girl etc with a strong willed/stubborn child.” So it’s that obvious, huh? Of course 90% of the time Emma is the happiest, most loving little girl ever, but she also has very strong opinions. Like about how she wants string cheese when she walks in the house and how I am not supposed to open it. Or how she wants to enter the bath. Or how we aren’t allowed to help her with something unless we have asked and she decides she doesn’t want to do it. Oh and on the hugging thing, should I be concerned that toward the end of the party Emma went around to all the adult guys in the room and hugged them. Then she reluctantly went to the women and did the same after having to be prodded? Not cool Emma, not cool. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">This summer I also got back into soccer a lot. Other than intramural 3 on 3 in college, I haven’t played soccer a lick in my life, so my obsession is probably odd. But ever since I moved in with random guys in Iowa City in 2002 and got up at 3 am several morning with one roommate to watch the US world cup matches in Korea, I have loved it. This has grown some over the years and I loved having the women’s world cup this summer. The matches were mostly midday, so if I went to the Sprint Gym over lunch or around midday, I could watch something other than Sportscenter repeats, it was great. Plus there is that whole Abby Wambach miracle goal stuff and my overlooking the whole “they are playing for something bigger” garbage about how we should be happy for the Japanese. Emma’s part Korean, go read about what the Japanese have done to the Koreans over the years, we are disallowed to be okay with anything Japanese. . besides our Honda’s that are in the garage I am also kidding about most of that, though I was literally mad about the US losing for about 4 days. I need some Hawkeye football to get here so I can be mad about a 19 year old losing a game and ruining my life for 6 days rather than 25 year old women, you know, much more important. Anyway, I am now obsessed with getting Emma in soccer lessons. I think it’s a great sport that translates well into all other sports. She likes kicking the ball okay now, and what is likely going to happen is the fact that I would love for her to be the Wasian Mia Hamm is that she will not like soccer at all and will make me go to dance recitals all the time, something I have nightmares of from having a sister. No, I am not dramatic at all, those things were like monthly (in reality probably once a year, but that seems too frequent to a 10 yr old) and they never even had snacks there, of course I have nightmares. . .. I will have to post once she gets going how soccer is going. Anyway, that’s a random musings paragraph, but I wanted to get it in.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Oh yeah and then there’s that whole last post I put up. So the baby is due to arrive Jan 16. The accountant in us thinks, hey, if you came 17 days early it wouldn’t be bad as then we could get the tax break and get all the insurance this year. The Dad in me thinks, this needs to happen after Jan 5 or so, so the child can celebrate his/her bday at school. I always felt bad for the Christmas break birthdays, because their half birthdays are in the summer so they get hosed often times, plus there is the whole overlap with Christmas thing. Well maybe I didn’t care back then because sympathy wasn’t a strong point for an adolescent Mike, but because it could now have implications on my child clearly its important Anyway, Lela is doing all right for all who have asked. She’s been squeamish at every meal, never to the point of throwing up (tmi and I don’t care) but enough where no meal goes fully enjoyed. Lela also likes to pretend she is not pregnant and fights going to bed and getting enough rest. We are now somewhat the opposite of other families as Emma now requests her bed and her mom won’t go to it. We are excited about the new addition (for some reason saying that makes me think of the band New Edition from the 90s), we find out Aug 30 the gender and my prediction is another girl,. . .who I will try to make into the next Mia Hamm, but we’ll see! </div><br />

So Emma and I were at Costco the other day. I am one of those people that enjoys Costco, I think they have made me one of their minions. I love get really excited when I find a shirt there as its always reasonable and for some reason nicer. I love buying milk there because its cheaper, even if those cartons make you spill part of the time. The samples can be a nice side item as well. Anyway, Emma and I had a nice conversation. We decided that its nice for parents that the carts have 2 seats, in case parents have 2 children who want to ride. We also decided that its irrelevant to the Huebners because 1) Emma no longer believes in riding in carts, only pushing them or walking beside them and 2) we currently only have 1 wasian who could ride in a cart anyway. As a side note, I bet you didn’t notice the change in title at the top of the page. .. . see below<br />

We have made her watch a lot of Ricky Stanzi, the most patriotic Hawkeye since Nile Kinnick (see link <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlU0GQgooWM">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlU0GQgooWM</a>), but Emma is at times rebellious. It all started last year when <a href="http://cooperhuebner.blogspot.com/2010/07/emma-takes-on-nyc.html">Emma and I headed up to NYC to enjoy the 4th with Lela</a> and we thought, it was NYC, it was crazy insane hot, it was clearly an anomaly. . . well after this year I am beginning to wonder.<br />
<br />
It all started Friday July 1. Lela and I were getting a head start on the weekend and took the day off to try to get various things we haven't been able to get done around the house. Around 3 we got the call. Apparently Emma had decided to revisit lunch after nap, so we needed to go pick her up. I went to pick her up and she was running around the room laughing. Ah, lunch may not have agreed with her, she'll be good to go for the weekend. Let's just say various things didn't agree with her for the next 6 or 7 hrs. Lovely way to start the weekend. Saturday Emma was a bit under the weather, but mostly okay. Sunday I got whatever she had had, followed by lela getting it on monday. Emma had clearly decided she was going to infiltrate Independence Day weekend and distract us. Doesn't she know that Will Smith made a movie about defending this holiday from aliens when we were in high school? That rednecks everywhere live for this holiday???? Okay, so maybe that's not a good argument.<br />
<br />
The thing is, we still had a good weekend. When you are laying in bed wanting to die there is nothing better than hearing "Daddeeeeeeeee" followed by emma climbing on top of you and jumping on you. Usually that is followed by more nausea and wanting to die, but that's irrelevant. Or when Lela is sick, getting to go to Walmart on the 4th and getting to interact with said rednecks. I know lela feels the same way since she literally crawled over to Emma's room while I put Emma to bed when she was sick. <br />
<br />
Emma is also excited to have a new cousin, Jaxon Gregory Johnson. He joined us on June 30, so he has his own month and won't add to the long list of July bdays!<br />
<br />
Here's the main pic from the weekend, of Emma who decided she wanted to carry the basket in walmart. Please note the PJ outfit, as I dressed her and decided I didn't want to get her out of her PJ's. Emma picked the shoes that clearly match. I think it helped us to fit right in with the locals. . . <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Most people who blog about families seem to be females. Maybe its because women are more expressive and like to talk about their families and remember details and all that stuff. Maybe its because men are outside being rugged and mowing and stuff like that when their wives blog, who knows. And yes I am fully aware that I just made a comment that is very much a stereotype, but then again many stereotypes are stereotypes because more often than not they are true. I didn’t choose to be obsessed with whether my lawn is the perfect length with perfectly straight diagonal mowing lines or to secretly die a little inside every time something I grill something and it doesn’t turn out perfectly. Lela didn’t choose to love All Clad and Le Creuset or be happy when I get those things for her for various holiday or to think that immersing emma in pink is the greatest thing ever. These things just organically happened. Anyway, the point I was getting at was every blog I see was how awesome of a dad the husband is, etc because it was written by the wife. So I am going to congratulate myself with a happy father’s day blog entry to myself. </div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It was a great day. Well really weekend. I think they should change it to Father’s weekend. One day isn’t enough to be able to say “you can’t say anything about what I just did because its Father’s day, you have to be nice to me and ignore any wrongdoing,” it should at the very least be a weekend. And by weekend I mean starting Friday am, not just the days you don’t work. Once we get everybody adjusted to thinking of it that way we can begin talks about a full week. I have learned this expansive technique from my niece, Julia. Julia doesn’t have a birthday she has a birth month, and every year that seems to get longer. She turned five a few months ago and I am pretty sure by the age of 11 we will just celebrate Julia’s b-day will have become a B-11-month-thing. It’s really a well-played plan. This is why we need to listen to kids, they can teach us things. Hopefully my sarcasm in most of that paragraph came through so I don’t sound like too much of a self centered a-hole.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So yeah, Father’s weekend, I don’t normally do a detailed run down of festivities because I usually forget 95% of the important details and it becomes really boring, but here goes. We hit up the OP farmer’s market for the first time this year. We love the OP farmer’s market, it is the perfect size. Not one of those farmers markets where there are 2 things but also not like the River Market farmers market where it’s a 30 min ordeal to get just one thing. And then that evening Lela made us Linguine with clams. Delish. I am glad I married a good cook, even if it just perpetuates the aforementioned stereotypes or if it makes it so I have to run to 18 grocery stores a week because some grocery stores have better versions of various things. Sunday we started off with church, and our pastor, Dan, agrees with me on the expansion of father’s day as we are apparently doing a 3 week series on dads. See my expansion theory is catching on already. Anyway, for some reason getting to church every Sunday is a scramble. It always happens, I feel like every Sunday is going to be better, but its not. On this particular Sunday we were planning on having some homemade Korean BBQ with our homegrown bibb lettuce for lunch. Everybody knows that in addition to pork belly and lettuce you obviously need rice for Korean bbq. . .except when you forget and your wife has to remind you 3 times that morning to get the rice ready and set the rice cooker to start while you are at church (when you live in a wasian household you have rice cookers and they have timers). . .and then rather than setting the timer you just start the rice cooking. Did I mention that Asians are very particular about their rice not being over cooked and that cooking rice in our rice cooker for 2.5 hrs could overcook the rice? It’s a good thing it was father’s day so as lela had red flames in her eyes I could say, “it’s a good thing its father’s day so you can’t be mad at me.” Again, expansion of Father’s day could only be a good thing. So after a lovely Korean BBQ lunch, I was treated to a lovely professional massage, not to shabby. After some pool time (to be discussed later), we headed to Blue Koi, to cap off a very Asian day. Except Blue Koi wasn’t open. . .but luckily some random person had the same plan to treat her husband for fathers day. As discussed in the previous post, people talk to me if I don’t know them, so of course she signals for me to roll down my window. And she says something to the effect of “we are going to Red snapper, you should too.” So we did. But we didn’t sit with them because that would be weird. But it was a good end to an Asiany Father’s day that will someday be known as father’s weekend.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So the weekend before my mom treated us to a zoo and water weekend in Omaha to celebrate her bday. She shares a bday with Emma, and Jill is 9 months prego, so she figured this would be the best time to celebrate. So anyway, that Friday we headed to Omaha, a trip which thanks to a lovely overturned trucked was an extra hour or so. But we got there. Emma thought that it was awesome that we were all sleeping in the same room, to the point where she stayed up til 11. We prepared for a rough day at the zoo. . .but somehow emma was good to go on her little sleep. And it was pretty much the perfect zoo day, the weather was surreal it was so good and all the kids had a great time. Julia and jacoby are extremely good to emma too, so that makes it even more funny and easy for a weekend like that. The hotel we were staying at also had an indoor water park, so after we got back from the zoo we headed down there. We had a good time, even emma enjoyed it (again more later). That night we even got our first night out to the movies since emma joined us just under 2 years ago. After meeting up with one of my college friends and her family for some lovely Vietnamese, we headed back to KC, both tired but having had our fill of fun. Thanks Grandma!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Emma isn’t a water kid. She gets it from me probably. Some kids loves baths, always have and think they are great always. Some kids are like fish, you put them in their bathing suit and give them a body of water than they run in. Emma isn’t one of those kids. She’s okay in the water, she loves transporting water, and pouring it or doing water table type activities. But as far as being in it, she’s sort of Meh about it. At the water park it took her a half hour to warm up to the idea of playing in water. After we showed her some of the fun stuff she gradually warmed up to it and had a good time. When we go to the HOA pool Emma generally takes at least 15 minutes to decide she wants to do more than lean on us and watch the other kids. After she gets going she will play in it and again she loves water table type activities, but she just isn’t a kid who thinks it’s the greatest thing ever and runs into it like crazy. Probably a bit similar to a young red headed boy I used to know. Sorry Emma!<br />

I have no clue why. More than a few people I am now friends with have said I looked mean or scary or like a prick when they first encountered me, so it’s not like I am some guy who could live around the corner type. So as stated in the previous blog, Lela and I went to Chicago a few weeks ago. I really enjoy going to larger cities, I actually enjoy taking mass transit and getting to feel a little like it would to live in the city. Lela and I have lived in KC or Denver, and both times we were in the ‘burbs which means we drove a lot and didn’t do the mass transit deal. Coincidentally about 4 months after moving from Denver they finished the light rail about a 4 min walk from my last apartment, and taking the light rail would have been much more pleasurable than my 45 min commute downtown. Not that I am bitter or anything.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, when you take mass transit you encounter interesting people. We were staying outside the loop in Chicago, so we ended up taking buses quite a bit more, which almost seems to bring in more “unique” persons. It was rainy and crazy cool our first day –think 47 degrees, mist and a wife who is threatening to throw me in a very cold Lake Michigan because she didn’t want a cold vacation. So we are sitting on a bus after a lovely meal and a man, who appeared to be an older business professional, turns to me and has the following interaction<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Random dude, “You know why it’s so rainy this spring, don’t you?”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Me, “Um, no”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Random dude, “it’s because they are killing the rainforests in South America. I have been there, its all becoming farm land and that makes it so the rainforests can’t contain that water content and it comes up here.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Me (internally) – weird I thought it had something to do with La Nina or any number of other variables, but apparently just one thing is causing it<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Me “interesting, thanks” <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then the guy walks off the bus and everyone starts laughing. First of all I want to state that after our church did a documentary series (what I called church heaven because I got to make lela watch documentaries with me because it was what God wanted us to do) and one week was about Environmental Stewardship, which had us watch “An Inconvenient Truth.” Though that movie is admittedly one sided, we came away from watching it with a strong feeling that we needed to actively be better stewards of our environment by wasting less and doing more to support environmental efforts. Watch the movie, it will change how you think about not recycling, wasting gas or various other things(stepping of my soap box). Anyway, while deforestation could have an effect on it raining in Chicago in may, its just weird why people tell me these things. Coincidentally during another cab ride in Chicago a few years ago, I was given a dissertation by my cabbie about how to create sustainable mini communities after Armageddon hits. Then there is the time when I was asked in a ghetto gas station in Denver if I thought Aurora housing prices could keep pace with the other suburbs when the housing boom was in effect. Not remotely kidding, there are many more instances <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So the real reason you read this is for the star of the show, Emma. A few weeks ago, lela and I discussed how we should get some animal crackers for Emma. They seemed like easy to grab snacks that weren’t insanely bad for her and something she might like. This is like saying that Apple thought by creating the iPhone a few years back they might sell a few phones. We created a monster. Emma loves playing with them. She loves eating them. Rarely an hour goes by where we don’t see our Wasian princess look at us, shrug her shoulders and say “cackers?????”. Tantrums have occurred for 20 min time span because Emma wants 5 crackers and we only will give her 2. Oh the animal crackers and the joy they have brought to our lives.<br />
<br />
<br />

The next post will have some pictures, but right now I don’t think we have any that haven’t been posted.Michael Huebnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10845091845297311591noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4629233422325951205.post-82387543554928671042011-06-01T10:51:00.001-05:002011-06-01T10:57:25.338-05:00A few of our favorite things<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Emma is a funny kid. A lot of these things I have previously mentioned, but I thought it would be fun to mention a few of Emma’s favorite things</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Emma has become increasingly concerned with the whereabouts of everybody. If you leave a room, Emma will same something about you followed by “go”. She especially constantly wants to know where lela is. For example, we went to Iowa for her cousins’, Julia and Jacoby’s bday celebration. So with 10+ hrs of car time, Emma got used to all of us being in the car together. When I went to take Emma to daycare she asked about 30 times in her 3 min drive to daycare “mommy go?” its pretty funny the first 5 times at least, someday we will teach miss emma that if she asked continuously the answer doesn’t change<br />
<br />
2) Emma’s favorite foods to this point – virtually anything Mexican or Korean. The girl likes her spice, if her face is red and she is chugging water its almost as if she feels challenged and eats more. She is off and on for all types of fruit, for a while she will eat something nonstop and the next week she won’t touch it. Emma has become enamored with dipping as of late, though it often morphs into using food as a different form of spoon, rather than eating it.<br />
<br />
3) Puzzles. Emma loves them. It’s not always the same ones every day, but rarely a day goes by that she doesn’t spend time with her puzzles at home. At daycare if she doesn’t have one in hand within 20 seconds of walking in she is less than happy. <br />
<br />
4) Jumping and bouncing on everything is her favorite past time. If you put a thick blanket on the floor emma will let herself fall into it about 30 times. If you put the girl on a mattress she will bounce up and down. If you put her to bed she will bounce her head for at least 20 min. its just how she rolls.<br />
<br />
5) Emma doesn’t like tv, but likes Elmo. If you ask her what her favorite animal is, its elmo. I guess Elmo is sort of an animal, so her opinion is not completely unfounded, right? She also enjoys saying the sounds that various animals say. I have taped a few sesame streets and she will watch the “Elmo’s World” portion, but gets mad at the parts where Elmo isn’t involved. <br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, that’s not by any means a full list, just seems to be what emma is generally into lately. We have had a busy few months We of course had mothers day in there, Emma gave Lela a Panini press for making among other things make quesadilla’s that emma loves. We went up to the IA for Julia and Jacoby’s bday. We all had a good time up there and if you ever see the video of the gift opening, emma is in almost the entire thing. Emma wasn’t worried about the wrap or any of that, but seemed to notice that toys were being pushed off to the side and she decided she was going to play with each of them. <br />
A few weeks ago we took our first Emma-less trip and went to Chicago for a few days. I think Emma did all right as she went to Grandpa and Grandma’s, aka the land where there is a million toys and people play with me from the second I wake up til the second I go to bed. Even though we knew she was in good hands and having fun, we obviously missed our little princess to death. <br />
<br />
We have also noted the coming of toddlerhood. We used to think that toddlerhood meant a temper tantrum once a week or so when Emma would be hungry or something. We were wrong. Toddlerhood has become a battle of wills at any and all times. Some days Emma will fight everything. Some days she’ll go along her merry way and not fight anything. It’s the uncertainty that’s the biggest fun as we can’t see it coming. I know, shocking that Lela and I would have a strong willed child. She is still fun most of the time and still loves to laugh, but she’s now like the raptors in Jurassic park, testing every fence until she figures out how to overcome it. That’s my requisite movie reference for the day. Go Hawks.<br />

Some Easter pics. Emma wasn't being uber cooperative, so they are action pics.<br />
