Kaden Malachi Porche


Here is the only picture I've seen so far of this kid. :)

I can't wait to meet him!!! (and fill the internet with his photos)

I am in awe of how Claudia handled the 19 hours of contractions before they did a c-section. Mom said that Ryan and Claudia worked together as a great team.

Welcome to the family, Kaden!!

Wish I had my Phone

So I have been without my phone for the past several days (left the charger in FL) and I'm missing it today.

I got an e-mail this morning from mom saying that
CLAUDIA'S WATER BROKE AT 6 AM.

Kaden Malachi is on his way! I've booked my ticket to Dallas. I hope to get there as they get home from the hospital. :)

Family Fun Day

This past Saturday, before JR's intensive class week and our trip to Tallahassee, we took time to spend the day as a family.

We headed over to Bartlett to the Toys-R-Us to get Gideon his bicycle. However, they only had the Iron Man bike on-line, so we didn't actually leave with one.

But as we left, we drove past a remote-controlled car race. Of course we stopped, got out, and watched. We cheered for our favorite colored car.

After a nap in the afternoon we had plans to go to an italian festival right around the corner. Our new friends, the Kinney's, had a way to get in for free. So, we loaded up and went. And 5 min. after we got in, it started raining. And 5 min. after that, we bought a $5 funnel cake which we shared under a tree to stay relatively dry. And 5 min. after that, we ended up back at the bbq of the people who got us into the festival. We joined these friends of our friends and dealt with the post-rain humidity and bugs.

Here's how G felt about the weather:

And this is Becca Kinney. We are really enjoying getting to know her and her husband, Jon.

(Gideon asked that this photo be processed like this.) :)

Well, we'd planned on getting a bike. And didn't. And planned to hang out at the italian festival, and didn't. But it was still a pretty good family fun day.

Interview with a 4 Year Old

Once again, I apologize for the video quality. The only recording device we have is our broken camera. (But the subject is still cute.) :P
