Biographical Bridge

I would like to update the reading public on the recent events in my life. On May 4 Liz and I graduated from Andrews University. She graduated with her B.S. in Nursing and I graduated with my M.Div. After we graduated we moved out of our duplex in Berrien Springs, Michigan and moved down to Niles, Michigan to live temporarily with the Whites. We wanted to stay until the baby was born and then move down to Texas. On the weekend following graduation I flew down to Texas and attended the Burleson church. I also spent time with the Adams who are members of the Crowley church: the church where I spend most of my time. I was able to rent a house in a subdivision that is developing. The house continued to be worked on while we waited for the baby to be born. We had anticipated that the baby would be born early in June. However as the baby's due date approached we began to worry that the baby would come later than expected. This would have been a problem because we had already told the Texas Conference a date that we would be heading down to Texas. In addition the moving truck had been scheduled. So as the due date continued to approach we decided we would induce labor. We began inducing the labor on thursday June 5, 2008 and the Alexander Thomas Baldwin was born early Friday morning the 6th. The monday following the Alexander's birth I helped the truck driver load up our stuff that we had moved into storage in Berrien Springs. Then on the following weekend we left Michigan and began our trip down to Texas. We first stayed with my family and in Ohio for a few days. Then we made our way down to Huntsville, Alabama and stayed with the Evans for about two days. After that we continued on our way and stayed in Texarkana for the last night of our trip. We arrived at our home in Texas on thursday the 18th of June.

Life Doesn't Stop

Right now my son is banging on my bed with his toy wooden hammer. The interesting thing is that this is probably the least annoying and/or destructive thing he's done today. Those old Looney Toons cartoons that featured the Tazmanian devil and all of his spinning destruction pale in comparison to my small but lethal Lex. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Sugar and Spice

Just about everything is ready for Isabella's arrival. We've painted Isabella and Lex's room a soft yellow or off-white and we painted the closet and trim a color called nature's green. We aslo rearranged the room and added a crib, changing table and several other things to make the room look really nice. We put together the new stroller that Liz was given at her baby shower at work and put the new carseat stand that goes with the stroller in the truck: the vehicle that Liz will be using. Over the past several weeks we've made additional changes to both the inside and outside of the house. Liz painted our bathroom a bright light green. We raked up the leaves in the backyard (although more have fallen since) and we put in a true compost pile in the back right corner with wire fencing that Liz attached to some metal stakes. I also planted a red oak in the front yard to replace the maple tree we had cut down and I planted a photinia bush to close up the gap between o...
