Elena Helping Daddy
Monday, September 24th, 2007Couscous and dirt
Wednesday, July 18th, 2007So tonight I decided to make couscous (a first for me) as a side dish with our grilled Iowa chops for supper. (Mmmm-mmmmm!) (Matt did a splendiferous job of grilling, thank you my dear.) I’ve been on somewhat of a mission to have Elena try as many new foods as possible that […]
Making Elena Smile
Sunday, July 1st, 2007I’m not extremely affectionate with Nancy in public, but I am more so around the house. One sure fire way to make Elena smile is to give Nancy a hug and a kiss. This always causes her to get a big grin, and giggle slightly, and sometimes even clap.
She’s […]

Baby Mash-ups
Tuesday, November 7th, 2006Today I caught myself singing the “eeny-meeny-miny-moe” rhyme to the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” in a baby voice while changing Elena’s diaper.
I am the mashup king!
By way of providing way too much information, here is the original poem from which twinkle twinkle, the nursery rhyme is taken from: The Star by Ann […]
Elena’s First Laugh
Tuesday, October 31st, 2006Elena’s First Laugh
Originally uploaded by mushin.
Elena has a new trick. Tonight we were taking some pictures of her and Nancy. I was trying to get her to smile, and so was making goofy faces and noises and heard the most amazing sound I’ve ever heard […]
Elena Loves The Joshua Tree
Thursday, August 17th, 2006I have figured out that The Joshua Tree is Elena’s favorite album. Two nights in a row, she has been fairly cranky, whiney, inconsolable, etc.
The first night I put on “Streets” and she was instantly quiet, and asleep by about the third chorus. The next night, I put on “Still Haven’t Found What […]
And the mama speaks at last
Friday, August 11th, 2006Fyew! What a crazy and amazing 2.5 weeks it has been! Our lovely little lady is doing so well…I thought I would give you an update :) (For the readers who are guys out there, these are probably details that you’re not so interested in, but I have a feeling some of […]
Back To Work
Monday, July 31st, 2006I’m back at work today, attempting to see how a quasi-normal schedule will go. Nancy’s mom has come down to be with Nancy for the day to help with the transition a little more. I think I am still going to take a few days off, though, just to ease into things. […]
Archie and Elena
Saturday, July 29th, 2006In case you were worried, Archie is starting to get used to the idea of having Elena around.
(This picture was a bit posed, but captures the essence of the situation.)
I uploaded some new photos to Flickr, get to them through my photos navigation link…
Baby’s First Lullaby
Friday, July 28th, 2006Rich Mullins is going to provide the soundtrack for Elena’s early childhood if I have anything to say about it.
I have selected a lullaby to use until I write a sufficient one for her (the only lyrics coming out of me right now are gushing sappy praise songs to God… but I’ve got a lullaby […]

What’s In A Name?
Wednesday, July 26th, 2006(More pictures uploaded to flickr if you’re interested…)
Nancy and my name choices for our baby were a closely guarded secret up until now (though the boy name will still be kept in a sealed file for potential use at a later date.) I know you were all on the edge of your seats to […]
Presenting: Elena
Wednesday, July 26th, 2006Just put some photos up on our Flickr stream. Enjoy. I am :)

No News Yet (And That Is Normal)
Monday, July 24th, 2006So for those of you hanging on the edge of their seats, dying of suspense for news of a new baby Heerema, no news yet :) Nancy is doing really well, the baby is doing really well, apparently, it’s just not time yet.
If you want the news as soon as anyone is going to […]
