ah School starts again!
Well sorry for the no posty posty for the past little while folks!
You can thank my professors for that, as school started in full swing on Sept 9th and I have not had a creative thought in my brain since then, because all brain power has been deverted to school work.
So here is a little up date as to what is going on in our family.
Hailey has developed herself a crush on Justin Bieber. She spent a solid week trying to win tickets to his concert through the local radio station. In the end she did not end up with any tickets, but did get a performance from Jason Bieber and his back up singer Lindsay. We were glad we were able to bring a little laughter to her that night as not being able to go to the concert crushed our little Hailey's heart.
Wyatt is growing like a weed! Has met a few milestones but has yet to master them, Rolling over from his front to his back is one of them, it takes some coxing but sooner than later he will have it under his belt.
Lindsay is enjoying every minute being at home, she has found her stride again at being a new Mom, and is not wanting this time to ever end.
As for me, school, school, basement is all that is going through my head these days. This year is proving to be more challenging than the last, but that just comes with the territory. I am lucky to have such a great family that support me so much, without them I do not know if I could handle all the stress.
Keep your eyes glued to the blog as a good "photographer" friend of mine is going to be taking some nice family shots for us in this nice fall weather we are having here. Can't wait!!!
Take care and enjoy hearing from any or all of you.

Dad I am
So as most of you all know, our little easy going, laid back, go with flow son Wyatt has one little thing which drives his mother crazy!
To be written from one of his favorite books, Green Eggs and Ham, I do not, would not, could not, will not eat from a bottle Dad I am, so says Wyatt.
This has left oh mother dearest a two sometimes three hour window to herself. We have tried everything to get that little guy to take his bottle, he will drink it in his sleep, but as many of you know, the process to get a hungry, upset baby to go to sleep, well I would rather be put to the task of solving the worlds financial problems then take that challenge on.
So here tonight, mother had plans to go out, dinner with friends, meaning Dad I am was left to the task of settling him in for the night. Now I had a plan, he has started to dabble into the solid food realm (even though the foods are in no such solid form). The plan was to fill him with orange carrots and apple sauce. Then bath, and if all went well, a poorly sung lullaby and off to na na land. Well Wyatt does not except change all that well, he needs his milk to send him off into a deep sleep. What to do what to do?
A bulb went on in my head, and it was a long shot let me tell ya, but here is what I did. I grabbed his blanky that he likes to play peek-a-boo with, covered the nipple of the bottle with it brought it up to his mouth, closed my eyes and prayed..... to my surprise he manged to get milk through his blanky and off to na na land he went. What a relief, and an even bigger one to mommy. She checked in with me shortly after Wyatt was asleep, I passed on the great news and its getting onto midnight and she is still not home. Just kidding!

Adventures in Poop
Oh man oh man, the topic for today is poop.
Right from day one, what has come out of my little guy has surprised me.
The first couple days of their life, "black tar" fills up that diaper and if you do not have enough Vaseline applied on that little bum, it like trying to get gum out of hair.
After a couple of weeks it turns into a mixture of green yellow mash, then after about a month, the colour has found itself to be a awful shade of yellow that would not have been used in late 50's early 60's rugs, appliances and wallpaper.
The first month or so, they have no rhyme or reason to their constitutional. Often I would just closing up that diaper and he has it full again. I think the record so far was three diaper changes in a row!
Lately though the loads can not be contained within contents of the diaper. Often they make the journey up the back through the clothes and onto the sheets.
Once in mid diaper change, he though it was a great time to play catch with Daddy, and let me tell ya if this is a sign of how well his aim is he will be a great little slugger, as he threw that fast ball straight into my mitt before I even had a chance to realize what had happened (Yuck).
Its a poopey mess a lot of the time, but they seem to understand this as they laugh, giggle and be extra cute for you in times when you wonder what was this all for.

Funny Approach
Just wanted to share a little tidbit of advice that I read here.
This article talks about using humor to discipline your children. A different way of trying to get your kids to follow the rules, listen and keeping your cool.
Not even a day ofter reading this I had the opportunity to use it.
Hailey has been battling some planters warts and last night she came to me to inform me she found some new ones on her middle toe.
The band aids have worked for us in the past, but this time we wanted to try the McIvor approach and use duct tape to get rid them.Two reasons, first hand knowledge from a relative that it worked for them and the planters warts are at the end of her toe where it was going to be hard to place anything there.
Well when I express this to Hailey she wanted nothing to do with it!
To give you an idea as to how our conversation was going to go.
"Hailey I think we should use the duct tape this time, as the warts are on the tip of your toe and it will be real hard to get a wart band aid to stick"
"No I do not want to use the Duct tape"
"But Hailey do you understand what I mean, it is hard to put a wart band aid at the tip of your toe"
"Yes I understand, but I want to use the band aid"
"Hailey I do not think it is a good idea"
"Can't we just try the band aid, it's my toe right?"
"Yes I understand it is your toe Hailey but the band aid is going to fall off because the wart is on the end of the toe"
"How do you know that it will fall off?"
"Because a band aid has never stayed on the tip of my toe"
"Maybe my toe is better than yours"
"I doubt that"
"I don't want to use duct tape"
"Okay well we just won't use anything then and let the wart grow and grow"
"Maybe if it gets a little bigger a band aid will stick to it"
"No Hailey that is not a good idea"
"But I do not want to use the the Duct tape"
And this would of gone on forever and ever only to end in either of us getting frustrated and angry.
So I took the humorous approach to try and diffuse this. I looked at her and said "If it will help I will wear a piece of duct tape on my leg, if you put on a small piece at the end of your toe."
To my surprise, she says "Okay". So here I am with a square piece of duct tape stuck to the many hairs of my leg, but the situation ended without frustration and anger.
So now this skill has been added to my utility belt and I will definitely be trying to use it more.

Didn't know what to say?
Had a friend ask me "Whats your life like now, you know with kids?" and to tell you the truth all I could say was that it's great. After saying it though I felt I should be able to express more the "just great". Shouldn't I? I read a blog a while back that listed things you need to be, to be a great father. One of them said " Realize that the wonderful memories you create with your children will always be with them forever, the material things won’t. "
That made so much sense to me and sticks with me all the time.
If you thought of growing up, what do you remember?
Is it the amount of toys you had piled up in your room, or do you remember sitting down and playing with those toys with Mom, Dad, Brother or Sister?
Do you remember every dollar you would get every year from your birthday or do you remember Mom or Dad taking you to the store and letting you pick out a toy you have been wanting?
Do you remember that you had a big or small house or rather that Mom and Dad tucked you in every night, even when you were a little older (to old to admit) but you could not get to bed with out it?
So here is what I want to add to my 'just great'.
Fatherhood is all about the memories.By no means am I giving up anything! I am just changing priorities to the priorities of my children, to give them the memories they deserve.
Nothing more rewarding then seeing your new born son smile when he sees your face, or your daughter score her first goal in ringette, or your son actually laugh for the first time, or listen to your daughter read to you for the first time or this or that. The rewards are endless!
I love my children and that is how I want them to remember me, and that is what life is like with kids!

You have heard of the Princess and the pea
Guys
if and when you get share the adventure of pregnancy with your
wife/girlfriend/partner/common-law (sorry if I have forgotten
anyone), here is a simple word of advice to keep her happy with a
good nights sleep "Pillows".
I am not talking about pillows for just her head.
In our bed it was like the pillows started to replicate and have offspring of their own. Soon our already pillow top mattress covered with a duvet top was topped off with pillows upon pillows. Everyone in the house was demoted to a one pillow maximum for the cause. Just so that Lindsay would have a good nights sleep.
She had pillows behind her back, under her baby belly. Once she constructed a square frame of pillows with a hole in the middle, so that she could place the baby belly in the hole to give herself the illusion of sleeping on her stomach, That night I am pretty sure I was demoted to zero pillows.
For 6 of the 9 months I was a big spoon to a wall of pillows down the middle of the bed.
Now this is just a small sacrifice you have to make, as she is the one creating life!
So no complaints were had by me and I am in no way complaining with this post. More so trying to forewarn future spouses/common law/Dads out there to arm themselves with this little jewel because a good nights sleep for her means a good nights sleep for you too.

Okay time to get a little geeky
It's time you learnt a little about the techy geek, comic book lovin, suspender wearing persona.
I am currently a University Student at the U of M in Computer Science.
I was late in starting my post-secondary education, at the ripe old age of 27, which in a campus full of 18-20 something kids, you feel like the old man in the room. I ain't going to lie, it was and still is tough to challenge my brain, but education comes with some great rewards and the journey so far has been great.
I could not do this without the support from my Wife, Daughter, and words of encouragement from my parents, in-laws, Unlce's and Aunties, and friends.
For those of you that know me I have a slight obsession for anything spider-man. My dream for my children is to pass down my vast knowledge of the comic super hero realm so that one day they will appreciate it like I do.
To keep as connected as I can with tech stuff, I usually read Googles Sci/Tech Section.
I just started to follow the blog GeekDad and have been really enjoying it.
For most of my software needs I trust cnet's download.com. I like the fact that you can change the license option and browse only freeware or opensource stuff. Plus the site offers reviews on products with yays or nays.
So that is a little insight into my inner geek.
If you have any techy questions, suggestions, or need computer (hardware or software) guidance leave me a comment below. I am not an expert of anything, but I like to help with the knowledge I do know.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Social awkward couple seeks friends
A tough thing about being a parent is trying to find and keep friends.
In this day in age of On-line dating I wish there was a place to search out friends. Couple friends with kids, who enjoy going to the zoo, camping, or just coming over for game night. Now I am sure some sites are available but my fear is posting an add saying "couple seeks couple". Afraid that might send the wrong message.
It is tough, to put yourself out there, and hope that you are impressive enough as a couple to make new friends.
Me personally I feel anxiety about having friends over, try to hard to impress to the point I am really not myself or become so stressed with fear of saying the wrong thing, that I just do not say anything at all.
My wife Lindsay, can carry a conversation very well. She is definitely a better person in groups than I.
The day I met Lindsay we were both 16, she just moved to Winnipeg from Thompson, been here only a week and was invited to the same house party I was at. I still remember how relaxed she seemed and how she managed to introduce herself to everyone at that party. She also managed to grab my attention, I was so excited to meet her and was so nervous to talk to her. I am a socially awkward person now, but if you knew me back then, you would consider the now me an extravert. I ended up walking her home at the end of the night, but got so nervous about what to say, ended screwing things up so bad.Only walked her half way home, saying that I was cold! Took her 10 years to forgive me on that one.
Still I feel as a couple though we have some great things to offer.
So here is our couple friend seeking profile if we were to submit to a on-line service
Married Couple 29 seeks fun adventurous couple to grow old together!
About Us

We are laid back go with the flow (well he is) kind of people. Well educated nerds/geeks who can offers advice on techy things and building things.
Looking for good friends to share social life with.
Anymore questions just ask in the comments below.

Pee on the stick
Having kids is something I have always wanted.
Here is the story about when I found out me and my wife were going to have a baby.
Not being a female, it was explained to me, sometimes you just know! Something about being in-tune with your body and listening to the signs.
In my opinion it’s the fatigue, porcelain hugging and mood swings that are for sure signs. But the previous example sounds more pleasant.
We had made the decision to start trying, with the attitude of if it happens it happens.
Then last summer Lindsay my wife and our daughter Hailey decided to take a trip out to Calgary to visit her Dad. After the second night being there, I received a phone call from her. She seemed excited and a little suspicious as we were talking. She went on to tell me about what they did that day, we talked about the weather there, then very casually says "man I woke up this morning not feeling well. Kind of like sick in the morning".
After a little bit of silence on my part I finally clued in to what she meant.
To keep me a part of the whole experience, she was going to wait until she was home to take the test to confirm.
While Lindsay was still in Calgary I made a trip to the grocery store to pick up my weeks groceries and decided to buy the test for her. So here I am standing in the aisle. Top two shelves have every known type of "pregnancy preventing" aid you could think of. Bottom two shelves is every known pregnancy confirming product you could think of. To make matters worse pregnancy test slogans, names and advertising had one thing in common "clear results". They all claimed,"Take the guess work out", “Our product guarantees you will know if you are pregnant”. With so many to choose from I did what I always do when confronted by this situation in grocery store! I buy the sale item. Grabbed the box, ripped the coupon off the shelf and proceeded to the check out.
After a couple of days Lindsay was back home.
So here we are me and Lindsay standing in the bathroom. Staring at this white stick waiting to see what our results were going to be!!!! Tick-tock, tick-tock! Two lines was a yes, one line was a no. Slowly one line shows clearly, solid and confirmed, bah we are not pregnant!
Confused and disappointed, we look at each other and say "doesn't that SUCK!”
Our conversation went on to Lindsay saying she is really sure that she is. Heartburn has even kicked in, fatigue and sickness again were the for sure "markers" and she swears it is not in her head.
Another ten minutes pass as we converse with our confusion and I happened to glance down at the stick again. The light hit it in just the right way and I could see a water color painted shadow of a second line beside the first.
Wait a minute I say, this is a light of hope! Out come the instructions from inside the box. As mentioned earlier all these test say clear results. What they do not say is check instructions for varied results. Apparently a solid and shadow line is a maybe?!?! Maybe, how could their be a maybe?
So the next morning Lindsay took another test and with the same one solid and one faint line gave us more of a comfort that she was right.
Excited we made the announcement to Hailey, our parents, and our siblings.
Stay tuned for the next instalment…..

9 months, 38 weeks, 266 days, 6384 hours.
Over the course of the next little while I am going to attempt to share the 9 months leading up to the birth of my son.
From the day we found out till the day he came out.
I hope to keep you entertained with my perspective of what me and my wife went through.
Stay tunned......

On the other foot, just recently,with birth of my son, Wyatt born April 1,2010. He is one amazing little guy and everyday I can't wait to see whats to come.
One of the best parts about being a father, is getting to share my life with Lindsay my wife. We are a great team together.

Fathers Day
What better day than today to kick this all off and what better thing to write about than fathers that have/had/still influence/influenced me.
Grandpa George Gigian
We spent many times floating in the waters at otter falls, fishing every corner of the lake. Thanks Grandpa
Uncle John
I spent many of my younger years avoiding conversation with him with fear if I did, I would get teased. Now a days I find myself joking and picking fun at my ten year old daughter and think "betcha Uncle John had a hand in this". Thanks Uncle John.
Pete
This is my father-in-law. He lives a little distance away from me, but he influences me everyday through the hand he had in raising his daughter. Thanks Pete.
My Dad
Who has and still is teaching me what a great father is, some of these skills are: fishing, car repair, telling bad jokes, patience, understanding, the comb over and the list can go on and on and on. Thanks Dad.
So to all you fathers out there, Happy Fathers Day. Thank for all the advice/guidance/skills you have passed on and are still passing on.
