This is non-emergency test of the video embed system

This is a test. Ok, so I just wanted to check to see if we could embed a video on our blog. And I thought this was pretty frickin cool. The guy piloting this plane is a big giant geeky stud!

Some Recent Stuff

OK, so this side of the blog has been slightly red headed for the last little bit, so I thought I would throw up a couple duplicates of the pics on the other site as well as the announcement that I just finished.
p.s. whoopsie, i had the practice announcement with Sierra's birthday up on accident. The new one has the correct info.

All quiet on the Good Question front

So, as you can see, we kinda slipped off for a day or two there on this side of the Weaver pond. That's ok though, things are still going strong over at the daily blog. Check it out or a few new pics.

Back to old and busted

So, as you can see, we have switched back to a crappy vanilla default blogger theme. As much as I loved the old one, there were some css issues with it that were buggin me, and I didn't really want to figure out the problem. So for now this is what you get. I am looking for a new one so let me know if you have seen any good ones. Oh by the way....that little thing at the bottom of every post that says "0 comments" means you can click there to leave a comment about that post...revolutionary I know.

Take your baby to home day

That's right, we get to take little Benjamin home today. While we were still in the hospital still, Melinie snapped a few quick pictures of him while she was getting him ready to go. As you could see on the one a day site, this is one of my favorite pictures of him thus far.

Everything went pretty smoothly getting all packed up and moving out of our room. The only exception was me making the transpo (hospital lingo for the person who has to wheel everyone around in wheel chairs) lady wait for me due to a long line at the pharmacy. Here's Melinie looking as cute as ever, a proud momma waiting to be swept away in her chariot.

Hmmm, I think we may be developing a bit of a theme here. Well, tough for you. If you don't like looking at pictures of the cutest little boy in the world, you may want to go elsewhere for a little while! So, today is go home day, and we couldn't be happier. We get to take our new little guy to see his new home.
Sierra was pretty happy to see us come home with her new baby brother in tow.

My Baby Boy

Well, here is the first official outfit (sorry mom.) We wanted to get some pictures taken, and of course the growing families people wanted to come by and get some pictures taken. We will get a link to those whenever they are up.
Well, we all know how grandparents are, so I thought I would post a couple more of the pics from yesterday that I didn't have time to post. Up there is Grandma and Grandpa Weaver, and down there is Grandma Crabtree.
And of course, a couple more pictures of the star of the show. Baby Ben.
posin' for the ladies.

It's a Boy!!! Benjamin Samuel Weaver

Please welcome to the world on Mr. Benjamin Samuel Weaver! That's right, my family is now a five member exclusive club with two girls and one boy. Just like my family. I honestly couldn't be prouder, and I was sooo excited to tell everyone that we had a boy! We hadn't found out what the baby was going to be, so it was a great surprise for everybody. I even sent out a text message to several people that gave the birth stats, but didn't say if it was a boy or a girl on purpose, just so I could call and tell them in person.


Ok, so as for those birthing stats. Melinie's labor officially began at 9:00am this morning January 18, 2007, and she delivered our baby boy at 1:06 PM. Which by the way Steve I believe that has me closest on our pool ;^) So he was absolutely perfect, with no major complications during or after delivery. He is 8 lbs. 1 oz, and 20 inches.

When I saw him come out I yelled IT'S A BOY!! and Melinie started crying pretty good, which of course made me start crying. I was so excited to go down to the waiting room and tell our family that was there (My mom and dad, Luke and Pam) the great news. Thanks for being there for our special day, we really appreciate it. We look forward to introducing everyone to our new family member soon, but for now you just have to see him here! If you are reading this on A Resolution, pop on over to Weaver Family Central for more pics.

Ok, this is coming to you very late for me, and after hours of searching for an active hotspot that isn't locked down or weak sauce, I finally found SpokaneHotZone that I could connect to in the cafeteria at SHMC. Thank you , thank you 180 networks and everyone else providing internet in downtown Spokane.
