An end in sight...

Ok, so this is my first post. I guess we'll see if I do it correctly.

So for now Chris, Christopher, and I are continuing to wait for the newest addition to our family. There is an end in sight, as Chris likes to put it. If this baby does not come on its own before Thursday (July 23), I will be admitted to the hospital for an induction at 5:30 am on Thursday. Please keep us in your prayers!

Oh, as an update to Chris' previous post, he has been very patient in his waiting these last couple of weeks. Well, at least he has not been telling me every day that today would be a good day to have a baby. Thank you Chris!

Their Journey to Ethiopia

Andy and Allison-

What a wild and awesome ride you've been on. Now it's time for you to bring your little girl home. She is your daughter. We'll all be praying for you.

It's Sunday evening

And there's no baby yet.

I have been blessed with a wonderful wife who in 1.9 pregnancies hasn't complained once! Sure, there are occasional aches and pains, but she has never actually complained about them, or been to the point where she wishes the baby would come out.

I know that sometimes I'm a little anxious for the baby to be here and I apologize for getting on Katy's nerves...but I can't help it. For the most part, I'll always be an excitable little boy stuck in a grown man's body. I promise to try and be more patient.

Anyways, I consider myself lucky to have Katy...and of course CRG. We look forward to meeting you Garcia Baby #2....as I patiently wait.

Love,

Dad

No baby yet...

So instead I'll show you the sticky situation we got into recently.

After eating a good dinner, we gave CRG some ice cream...in his own bowl. He actually did really well eating all of it with a spoon.....then decided his bowl would make a nice hat. Oh well, that's what summertime is all about, right? Having a great time with family, eating ice cream, and putting the sticky bowl on your head.

What? Y'all don't do that?

See ya soon!

T.R.O.U.B.L.E.

That's what I've been in. I've heard it from just about everybody. YOU NEED TO UPDATE THE BLOG!

So here we go....

About a week and half ago Katy and I took CRG to the Astros game. What is that you say? I've been talking too much about baseball? Well, then you update our blog. Just kidding. Astros--it's what we do. We had a great time hanging out in the Crawford Boxes. CRG really enjoyed being so close to the field. Unfortunately, Jose Valverde decided to give away the game with 2 outs in the ninth. Sweet! Oh well, not all was lost. Before the game, CRG got his 1st Astros Jersey. He'll be able to wear it for a few years since the smallest size they had was a 4! We had a really great time and it was probably the last time we'll make it out to a game for a while.

On Thursday, June 25th, we all went to Party on the Plaze at the Villagio Center. We ate at a relatively new Greek restaurant, Santorini's, and it was pretty good. Katy and I have never been in to Greek food, but we decided to check it out anyways. After a good dinner, we hung out in the plaza and let CRG run around and play. He danced to the band and splashed in the fountain. It really doesn't get much better than that!!
