What happens when you let a two-year-old put on his own boots and go for a walk in the snow?

For one thing, you get a 50-50 shot he gets the boots on the right foot.

Then you get a very circuitous route to the turtle.

Here’s a close-up of his foot prints with boots on the wrong feet.

Welcome to our new blog.  I’ve updated the URL, changed the theme and I’m starting over. Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions for the new site and I’ll gradually continue to update it as we go along.  MeganAndDave.com should redirect here and any bookmarks should automatically redirect to the new site.  All our old posts and comments have been moved.

Why, you might ask, did I redo the site?  Good question.  Maybe it’s like getting a new haircut – the old one was two years old and I thought we could use a change.  I also like the new URL better (no more megANAN-d-dave – never good to go anandd in the middle of a URL where people mistype it).  Plus, the theme is all new.  Unfortunately, if you still are using Internet Explorer 6, the theme might have some issues with black rectangles in the header that don’t belong – I’m not an expert at CSS and couldn’t figure it out, so just switch to IE8 or Firefox if you have any issues.  If you’re curious, the background is a picture of some basil from our garden that I stitched together with Photoshop into a tile that repeats.  I chose it because it’s different from every other background on a blog I’ve seen.

I’ll hopefully now find some time to actually blog rather than working on the backend of the site.  I had a rockin’ trip to the Rose Bowl (Go Buckeyes!) and a few weeks with family in Utah that were amazing.  I’m sure Megan will shortly provide pictures…

I’ll apologize in advance – this isn’t going to be a witty post, just a recount of what’s happened recently.  I don’t go back to school until next week and my creativity is still on vacation.

I took Harry to the state fair and Megan was able to spend some quality time with Wyatt.  If you remember last year, Harry was scared to death of the animals.  He seems to have overcome that fear.

We also did some other fun things.

Harry went fishing.  He won a duck.  And he gave the duck to Wyatt.

We ate deep fried captain crunch – made of captain crunch and peanuts mixed with marshmallows then battered, deep fried and coated with powdered sugar.

Butter statue.

Petting zoo.

Saying “hi” to the pigs.

And Harry decided that Cotton Candy is pretty good.

Harry loves the double-wide stroller.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! (Wyatt is kind of indifferent as long as we stop to feed him.)

Harry learned to say Wyatt’s name.

Piano time.

Wyatt Klaus Muhlestein

“Wyatt” is a name we liked and it turns out is also a family name on my mom’s (Boone) side of the family.  “Klaus” is Megan’s dad’s middle name.

“Muhlestein” just seemed like a good idea.

Born at 12:12PM.  Weighed 8lb 15.3oz (big baby) and measured 21” long.

Megan is doing fine.  She woke up to contractions at 5:15 and delivered just after noon.  Most of that time we spent just laying down and waiting – Megan had an epidural and didn’t feel a thing.  From the time the doctor first came in to check on her until delivery was ~16 minutes.

Wyatt and his dad.

First time Harry saw his brother – didn’t work out so well.

Harry actually warming up to and meeting his brother.  He’s not really sure what it means to have a little brother but he’s good at giving Wyatt kisses and he seems to like the baby.  We’ll see how things go when we go home and his mom has somebody else to spend time with besides Harry.

Things change. We got a new logo.
