June 28, 2006
No pictures on this post as I am posting from work and have no access to the goods. Just wanted to update everyone on life in the Knight household since Kat's parents left. Well, life has ended..just kidding. Life has become exponentially more difficult for my lovely and talented wife and I have no free time to blog or play drums or (worst of all) drink with my buddies! All work and no play makes Jak a dull boy. I am hoping that will all change tonight as Annalee has her second piano lesson and we are talking about making her Wednesday lesson an excuse to have the Browns (who many of you know through their wit-filled commentary on my posts) over for some bbq or delivery and hanging out with them. We used to see them everyday, but now we see them so infrequently that we say things like "wow, when did Annalee get earrings?". Before, we would have known, we didn't see them yesterday, so she must have gotten them today. :-)
Hagen continues to be a pill. I wish my memory worked better, but I can't remember Liska as being anything but perfect. I am sure she cried like a banshee and screamed for no apparent reason and had to be held 20 out of 24 hours in a day and scowled at me whenever I held her, but I have just forgotten about it. Hagen is no different than she was and look how Liska turned out? I am quite certain that in about 2 weeks, Hagen, like his older sister, will be sleeping through the night. Last night he slept for 4 hours...oh wait, that was me. Kat will have to confirm how long he slept. What I do know, is that I put him down at 10pm...Kat indicated she fed him at 1am. I got up at 3:15 to his caterwauling and rocked him on the luxurious glider that Kat got for mother's day for an hour and then Liska started whimpering so I put him down and went to hold her and then he started screeching so I had to put Liska down (luckily she had fallen back to sleep) and go take care of the screamapillar. Then, I gave him to Kat for his 4:30 feeding and left to go work out. Apparently, both of them are being rather needy today. Kat is going to come down (yes, Greg..down!) to Glendale and have lunch with me. Good to get the kids out in the car for a drive and then have me around to help put food in their bellies. I am thinking CPK, but we shall see.
OK. Lastly, I have officially registered for a triathlon. I will be competing in this event on September 17 (right before the Knight clan shows up in SoCal). It consists of a half mile ocean swim, an 18 mile bike race and a 4 mile run. I'm sure I have sent most of you the link to my donation site...part of the cost of participation is a $125 donation so they help us go after our friends and family by providing us a site where you can easily donate your hard earned cash to a wonderful cause. The Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AIDs Foundation. My goal is to raise more than my buddy Nadeem. He raised $700 last year. So, as my e-mail said, Bust out those checkbooks! Patrice was first out of the gate with a very generous donation...Dave Mancuso was next with twice as much!! So, a donation will get you mention on the blog which equates to relative stardom!!! Here is the link in case you lost the e-mail or I didn't send it to you (if you didn't get one, you probably have already done too much for me or are not related to me). Here is the link: http://nauticatriathlon2006.kintera.org/faf/r.asp?t=4&i=156824&u=156824-137019843&e=655833650
OK. I hope everyone is doing well...not many responses to my Hagen history, so step it up people!

Only someone sleep deprived could write a post that long! ;p
Ah yes, infancy...what's the saying...'God made them cute so we don't hurt them'--morbid but true. It's all about the giving for a while. At least until they smile and melt your heart...:)

Quinn did not sleep for years. He never slept -- not in the day and not in the night. We tried everything. Most nights, we ended up placing him in an automatic swing until he could pull himself up out of it and then in a vibrating/moving baby seat until he could stand up and walk out of it. He is now the best sleeper in the house. You must both be walking zombies. Love you all...Kirsten
