Simon and Ezra

Simon got his first real dose of fresh air today. The brief outing with Rebecca and Livia was refreshing to body and soul, and I’m thankful that we chose it over a (also desperately needed) nap.

It’s snowing in Lincoln! A beautiful, birthday snow!

I spent the morning with Brook at Scooters. Not very productive editing-wise but enjoyable nonetheless.

Nearly every time Liv comes over to play she picks up Jason’s XBox controller and asks, “That fine I push the buttons?” Most days she is met with a blank screen and quickly tires of the “game.” However, a few weeks ago Rebecca and I were watching a video of our twenty-week ultrasound. Liv took her usual spot on the floor, and when she looked up from the XBox controller, her eyes widened as she saw “Gooper” on the screen and came to the perfectly logical conclusion that she was playing the Gooper Game.

Livia has come up with some right good suggestions for what we might name our child. If it’s a girl (and she’s convinced it will be), she thinks we should call her Big Teeth. And if it’s a boy, he should be Goopie, which is apparently a nickname, short for Gooper. Ah, how I love that kid.

I told myself I wasn’t going to cry, but, yeah, I totally did. We got to meet little Owen James Choi today, and he is pure floppy body, wrinkly hands, sleepy head delightful. Congratulations and blessings to Joe and Karen.
