The next hurdle was navigated today  - we were discharged from the hospital, and loaded up little Kane in our rented Nissan.  Not that we couldn't have done this yesterday.  The pediatrician came in to check him out around the same time yesterday and gave him a clean bill of health -- in fact, she … Continue reading Free!

Well, I'm not quite living up to the request of blogging every three hours (Jennifer Milam), but once a day takes a concerted effort on my part.  Will make this one quick and informative as well.We did have a little bump in the road last night that I will explain once everything is finished and … Continue reading One day down. . .

What were you doing at 6:42 this morning (Phoenix time)?  If you were Joshua Kane Scott, you would've been taking your first breath!  He came in the world at 19.5" and 8 lbs. 5 oz. and a head full of thick, black hair (a trait that is waaaay overrated).  Since it will be a while … Continue reading He’s Here!!!!

Original due date after … Continue reading Beware what you wish for. . .

With the clock ticking down towards what we hope and pray will be the birth day of the latest Scott baby, you start thinking about what the baby will be.  What will he look like?  What will he sound like?  (I think we all know what he will smell like.)  Will he grow to be … Continue reading Who will YOU be?

The list of who all have to hit a moving target is pretty short.  I refuse to Google such things, so here's all I can think of:Bird huntersRabbit huntersQuarterbacksThere you go.  The clock is chiming 11 o'clock next to me, so I'm not taking the time to dig any deeper - we're going with it.  … Continue reading Stand still!

The title of today's blog is where we are right now - trying to navigate details.  So, I'll catch you up on a few that we have either done or still have to do before the big day.  In other words, today's blog will be much more info and much less postulating. Things that we have … Continue reading Details, details. . .
