Business Trip to Portland and Seattle

I'm back! Two nights away and 3700 flight miles toward Gold Elite status...I was travelling with Arena Resources...I see no reason not to buy this stock***

But you don't come to the blog for stock recommendations. On to the important stuff. Joseph is smiling more, Grace enjoyed the bumbo, and Charlie is a bruiser...

Typical weekend pose.

Pow Wow with Daddy (again typical weekends don't always include showers...)

Grace and Charlie

Grace and Joseph...looking more like twins than Grace and Charlie

Shameless Reminder - Mommy's Birthday 9/4

Who Dat Nation Gets Three New Members

With pictures this good they have to be spaced out over time.

Gratuitous Nudity - The Bath Pictures

Grace...Daddy has a keen ability to state the obvious.

Joseph "What the Hell is Going On???" Heikkinen

Charlie "I'm just happy to be here" Heikkinen

Two guarantees...First, these pictures are cute.
Second, these pictures will likely come out on the first date night.

Busy Weekend

Whirlwind is the best description of the weekend. I flew to Ken's wedding in Detroit on Friday morning, partied until midnight, and caught am 8am flight (delayed until 10:12am) back home. While I was gone our friends Marshall and Emily came by on Friday and our friend Lori flew in from New Orleans for the weekend.

We had a surprise visit from Ann's former partner Alex on Saturday. Things are good with him, he quit East Jefferson Hospital an is hanging his own shingle. If you live in New Orleans go see Alex. He was my doctor and look how good a job he did with me.

Saturday night could have been better. Joseph decided he really wanted company throughout the entire night. Next time, I will take pictures when I wake Ann at 1am and then she can reciprocate when she wakes me at 3am. Again the "love every minute with your baby" crowd is delusional.

Sunday we made the trip to the Rueff's. Clearly the biggest benefit for living in Houston is being close to family. We love the fact they can be part of our day to day lives.
