She Makes Me So Proud

We traveled back to Indiana over the Memorial Day weekend because Jamie and I went to the Indianapolis 500 with my mom. More on that later. First, let me share with you all something that makes me one happy daddy. As you can see from the video below, Norah is going to be a football fan.

As for the race, that was pretty cool as well. I never had a desire to go to the race in the past, but my mom has been asking us to go for the last couple of years. So we finally gave in and decided it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Well, now that I've gone once I'm hooked and I'm thinking this might have to become a more regular thing. I wasn't expecting just how loud it was... and believe me, it is LOUD!!! But there is something about a car with almost 700hp that goes 220mph gets a man all excited :-) Here's just a little clip from our spot on turn 4 (where 5 of the accidents happened). This video does not do any justice to how loud and cool it is to actually be there.

4 Months

Today Norah turns 4 months old. Its wierd because it seems like we've had her a lot longer than that, and I mean that in a good way. So we updated the Shutterfly website with a few new pictures if you are interested. Here's a couple to tease you.

Already asking questions that a man can't answer correctly.

There are the pictures, now on to the updates. Well, there have been a few things of note in the adoption process recently, but we still are not any closer to having closure. Back on April 14th there was a scheduled meeting between the birth father, the birth mother's lawyer, the adoption agency's lawyer, and a judge. The meeting was scheduled by law specifically because the birth father filed a paternity action against the agency back in February. But the birth father never showed up. Obviously that doesn't look good for him, but when the birth mom's lawyer contacted him he claimed he was never notified of the meeting.


As a result of his not showing up, the judge/referee gave the birth mom's lawyer the okay to file papers essentially canceling the paternity action the birth father filed. The next thing on the agenda is that another meeting has been set up between all the parties. This isn't going to happen until June 23rd, so we have another 2 months to wait. If the referee rules in our favor at this meeting then we would essentially be in the clear.


In other random news. I am apparently responsible for starting a new group on Facebook. The funny thing is that several of us at work have been making fun of them recently. Why? Because its getting out of control. You can become a fan of just about anything. You can become a fan of: breathing, water, sleeping, and even "not being on fire". Well, one of my friends from college actually became a fan of the latter, so I had to comment on it.


As you can see, that led to the creation of a new group. Ironic I guess.
