Dad in Training

As you drive around in Chiang Mai, new drivers are required to put a sign in their window indicating that they are new drivers. Before Owen came into the world, I had never held a little baby. However I've been practicing. A few times a week for the past few months I've been carrying Dao Huu, Tawm's parent's shih tzu around the house. Whenever I did it, people laughed but the practice has definitely paid off. Holding Owen has been no problem (although it didn't hurt that he weighs 9 pounds. If Owen had only weighed 6 or so pounds, that might be a different story.) Actually carrying him around has been quite enjoyable. I look forward to doing it more. As you can see from the picture, there is no need for me to wear a sign that says New Dad. We will see what happens when it comes to changing a diaper!

That is one healthy looking baby! You will do fine Brent! Although a New Dad t-shirt would be funny. Congrats!

Congratulations! Devon and I will be having a second child in less than 2 months. We have a 20 month old girl named Sparrow and we will be expecting a baby boy in January.
Glad to see you are still going hard for the kingdom! Blessings, Kristi (Beekhof) Rundvall
