WAAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE

It's been really crappy and rainy here. It's either dusk or dark. We've been trying to keep busy and from going crazy with cabin fever. I think cabin fever accounts for us putting our child in a shoe box and taking her to "stuffed animal land".
Buttermaker has been a little feisty the last couple days so today we dressed her up like a little bear and told her we were taking her to stuffed animal land. She perked right up. It was a fun adventure for at least 10 minutes.
Today I put together a swing that Michael and Bree gave to us. Faye loves it. She likes the number 6 setting (the fastest setting). It really gets her going. It's like one of those rickety festival rides. I even black out one of my teeth and pretend that I am the hillbilly carney ride operator. I just keep yelling at the top of my lungs "THIS RIDES GONNA LAST FOREVER BAYYYYBEEE!!!! I have to yell really loud because we are cranking Kid Rocks new album. It's awesome.
Butter is just chillin with her stuffed buddies.

who's a shifty little bear?

This is a face she makes if I ever mention Dave Carnie's name.

"The Ride Operator" good gravy is he a dumb looking sonofabitch.

Okay I have to give some blog love to Kari for sending me this awesome hat with a picture of 4 minute old Faye on it.
Kari you're the winner today!!! xoxoxo

Size 11

We are going to make a huge print of this and frame it for the nursery.
I bet she loves it when she gets older.
Faye is a Mens size 11.

Take it easy!!

I know, I know!!! I have been slacking on the blog. It's been a bit crazy around here. A new baby and all.
I was impressed to find out after going to the W+K holiday party that so many of you folks read this blog. I won't keep you waiting that long anymore you sassy bastards.
Frans Mom and Sister (Kathie and Katie) came to visit Faye for a few days all the way from Youngstown Ohio. Home of KELLY "THE GHOST"PAVLIK, if you haven't heard of this guy, you will soon enough. Kelly is the Middleweight Champion with a 32-0 record. Following in the footsteps of bruisers like Rocky Graziano and The Raging Bull, Jake LaMotta.

"How the hell did my spaceship land here with these lunatics"

even though you can't see it, her shirt say's "world championship hog caller" Wooooo Pig, Sooey!

Baby is stone cold chillin' in her baby papasan chair that Uncle Mark bought her. Big ups Uncle Mark!!

And for Faye's next trick...

We are so happy to get out of that hospital. Yuck.
We got faye out of those silly hospital clothes and put her into an outfit fit for a daredevil!
We didn't plan it that way but damn you must admit it was a happy accident.
We just happened to have Old Glory socks topped off with a red crash helmet, white T and some fancy "baby blue" slacks.
Once we strapped her into her car seat for the first time, it looked like we were about ready to blast her out of a oversized cannon at the state fair. The nurses hated to see us go.

3-2-1

Faye

We are test driving the name Faye today. It seems to really suit her well.

The hospital is letting us go home tomorrow. Can't wait to show Faye her home!
Earl is going to show her the ropes.
I think we make a handsome Father/Daughter team.
