Born at 4:11pm ~ 5 pounds 13 ounces ~ 19 1/2 inches long

UPDATE 10/1: I received a phone call from Krapf’s today, and was informed that they took immediate action when they found out about this situation and replaced the driver on this route. They also asked for permission to use the video for training purposes, which I said they could do.

UPDATE 9/22: This morning (Monday September 22nd), I saw a West Goshen police car sitting on Pennsylvania Avenue at about 8am looking at the intersection.  Bus # 125 came through right as scheduled and did not come to a complete stop again at the stop sign.  The police car then followed him, so I would have to assume that he probably was planning on talking to the driver after he dropped the children off at school, or got back to the bus depot.

Last Monday (September 8th), I saw a Krapf School Bus run a stop sign in our neighborhood when I was on my way into work. I even saw children on board. I went out at the same time the next day (to see if it was a bad day for the driver, or a pattern) and I saw the same thing!

I went out again, this time with my video camera, and filmed this on Thursday and Friday last week, and then again Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this week. Apparently nothing was done about this driver, either by the busing company or the police. I think it dangerous to have a school bus driving like this, especially when kids are on board.

Bridget and I attended Nicole and Brianna’s Baptism on Saturday.  It was very nice and it was a beautiful day to celebrate with friends and family welcoming Nicole and Brianna to the Catholic Church.  The girls looked beautiful and behaved like little angels with no crying, even when the water was poured over their heads.

Here are some of the pictures that I took:

Well Bah is almost here!  Bridget had an ultrasound on Wednesday morning to check and see how big the bah is getting, and his/her position.  I am happy to report that bah is very cute!  Also, bah is developing just fine, at the fifty percentile, and right in the middle of the growth curve that they expect.  Bah was about 4 pounds and 13 ounces, and had a heartbeat of about 143 beats per minute.

Here are some of the ultrasound pictures:

Here are some pictures of Madeline and Ben right after they turned 2!

Well here it is, our new nursery version 2.0.  Looks a million times better then the first version that we tried.  It was painted with a nice shade of light yellow back a few weekends ago.  Then today my very wonderfully talented (and very cute) wifey hand painted little honey bees all over the walls to match our honey bee theme.  It turned out looking very nice. They look so cool!

While she was putting on the bees, I got the shade and drapes hung, and put together a peg shelf, the rocker chair, and a little nursing foot stool.  It’s not completely finished yet, but it is starting to look very nice!

Halley had eye surgery this week performed by Dr. Gross at Metropolitan Veterinary Associates. Because of the diabetes, Halley developed very bad cataracts in both eyes, and was having a lot of difficulty seeing.  Since he would be blind in a short amount of time, and since he is still so young, we decided to have the operation so he can see again.

You can see how cloudy his eyes were just a few days ago before the surgery:

Well the operation was a complete success!  Halley’s vision will soon return to about 85-95% of what it was before he got the cataracts, and his eyes already look much better!  He is just so sad looking with the collar on to prevent him from harming his eyes:

Here’s a new pictures that I took of Ben outside the other day.

We got some really weird weather here today… we had a summer hail storm with lots of good size chunks of hail coming down, which was about the size of large shooter marbles.
