Austin, Personal Training, and Prophies

Here's our latest update since last September! Nothing has happened really. Just kidding, we just kinda forgot entirely that we started a blog. Maybe it was all the crazy stuff going on, maybe it was the pressure of writing witty blog entries. Now we have been compelled to start up again because of Jason and Brooke's good example and good looking webpage. Jason and Brooke, you have always inspired us. Thank you.

So Austin was born with no complications and a somewhat long labor (20 hrs). I kept telling Jess to hurry up cuz I was getting pretty bored just standing around, but she was insistent on taking her time. Today Austin is sitting on his own, sleeping through the night (FINALLY), eating solid foods and saying "da da da de de deet." He also randomly shrieks.

Here is a recent photo of us out in a Cleveland blizzard awhile ago.


Jess is working as a personal trainer at a really high-tech gym, voted number one in Cleveland! She only works twice a week cuz that's pretty much all the spare time she has. Right now she's doing a lot of introductory sessions and is building her one-on-one client base. On the other days of the week, Austin keeps her busy busy with plenty of Mom things to do. She's the reason why he's on track with eating, sleeping and growing. She's actually taught him to read Spanish and translate it into baby language, which I think is a first for any baby in the world.

I am almost done with my first year of dental school and have been pretty busy for the last two months. Lots of studying to make it through the 6 finals I have coming up. It's pretty stressful but I haven't had a breakdown yet so all's well. I've done 3 teeth cleanings this semester and have one more left. And now I have to go study.

Sometimes Austin tries to study with me but I think he gets bored:
