Easter Fun Liam was quite pleased to acquire a new set of cars and street signs thanks to Grammy.  Indeed, he is memorizing what each sign says and taking note when we are out and about.  The most common sighting is the U turn sign.  We also had a lot of fun dying eggs with…

My lists of fun Liam stories are growing quite long which is my fail-proof indicator that the time for a blog post has arrived.  For David and I, Liam is a continuous fountain of fun so that over the past few months my feeble mind has only managed to hold on to a fraction of…

It’s been far too long since I’ve posted a family update here.  This is testimony to the amount of effort that has been going into other areas of our family life, namely getting my career back on track.  It’s been a busy few months and the results have been good.  As we wind down for…

This is my first attempt at putting photos up on this blog.  So this post will be short on words and hopefully full of photos. Thanks to friends far and near who celebrated with us in body and spirit!  We’ve had some good times of late.  Now there’s some clean up to do before we…

Constant Impressions I’m back from the brink. It has been a while since I’ve posted here. Perhaps the longest gap since Liam joined us on planet earth. Spring is in the air and it would seem our hearts as well. For myself, I am not under the same rock that’s been holding me down for…

I wrote this post in entirety while Liam slept up in the air and yet, only now am I grabbing the requisite moment to post it. We have had a very busy time here in Michigan for obvious reasons. But tomorrow is our last day and so we are winding down with our duties and…

Hello again world! Our micro-universe swallowed us whole this summer. Saturday around 7p, David hit a button and just like that we got spit back out. While he still has a few more months of hard work ahead, he and his colleagues have made it over the big hurdle: their website builder for law firms…

Well it’s been a while since the big day. The first week after Liam’s (my) party was all about recuperation and getting the house back in order. Although, there are still projects to be completed on that front. The second week Siegfried got an abscess which meant a hefty veterinarian bill and a lot of…

Warning: this is a very long post! Our days have been very full as of late. Consequently, I’ve got a jam-packed list of noteworthy items for this blog posting. It probably could be three postings, but I’ll try and be efficient and put it all together in one neat package. Down in the back of…

I was nursing Liam this morning and noticed that his head looks bigger.  And his midsection looks more slender.  It occurred to me that perhaps he had a big growth spurt during the night.  We had a devil of a time convincing him to go to sleep last night, we thought that teething was the…

Liam’s been working diligently on his upper vocal range these days.  David is convinced that he’s going to lose a few tones of hearing along the way and I’m missing the days when my alarm clock was my iphone.  I’m not sure how Siegfried is faring with this new development, he seems fairly calm with…

Hello beautiful friends and family. David here — I wish I had the time and energy to sit down and share my own thoughts and revelations of parenthood with you more often. I’m beyond grateful that I have a wonderful and talented wife who is moving her own mountains to make that happen here for…

Liam gave me a wonderful birthday gift:  a good night’s sleep.  After the previous night, I must admit that I’m both grateful and relieved.  In our house, nobody slept well on the night of October 25.  Aside from that glaring aberration, so far we’ve been pretty lucky with sleep.  This is partly due to the…

Greetings from the land of Liam where there is always something flowing, be it milk, drool, pee, or poop. Liam continues to charm and entertain.  He’s quite the smiler and will even giggle on occasion.  Especially if you tickle his jaw line, he just loves that.  He also loves the arpillera that hangs over his…

I haven’t time today to write much, but do have some more photos to share. The quick highlights for the past week: We’re all still doing great. Visits to the Chiropractor and massage therapist for Faye A visit to a local park for the family Some yummy food delivered to us by our fabulous friends…

I’d love to sit and write at length about how friggin’ adorable our little Liam is to us, and all the adorable little things he does… But time is precious, and I’m pretty sure they’re more or less the same adorable little things most babies do. 🙂  Suffice it to say: He is adorable. This…

Just after 1:30 a.m. on Friday morning, Faye gave birth to a baby boy. We named him Liam Jacob Stevenson-Twist. Liam and his mom are both healthy and recovering well. Labor came on very quickly at 10:00 the night before, when Faye was feeling some “light pulling” sensations every one or so minutes.  Our primary…
