Weekend in Review
Hey All,
Well the weekend is behind us and we're moving into my last week off (total bummer). If anyone has good work from home ideas I'm all ears. Our weekend got off to a great start Saturday AM with confirmation rehearsal at St. Pauls. Well, at least the rehearsal went well. About three quarters through rehearsal, Graeme needed feeding. That's when we found out, despite thinking we had checked and rechecked, that we were missing several key things to ensure Graeme could feed. As you might imagine, Graeme was none to pleased with us so rather than head to O'Connells for fish-n-chips (I tuned out during rehearsal and was dreaming about malt vinegar dripping off my fish-n-chips) we headed home. Sure enough the things we needed were right where we left them on the kitchen counter. The perfect place if we had intended to feed our little guy at home! At least the feeding was pretty uneventful, Graeme was hungry and got right to it. After the requisite burping, change of diaper and new clothes I was ready to get back to lunch! O'Connells would mean nightmare parking, Southside (another staple, preferred for Pabst on tap rather than its menu) was not appealing, 8th St. was packed due to a street festival so we decided to make good on our threat from Friday. We were heading to the Capitol Lounge. My old stomping ground, where I am known as "Loud Will" by the regulars and "The Mayor" by Jenn's colleagues. It was decided, Graeme would make his Lounge debut!
The Lounge is a quintessential hole in the wall, shot and beer joint. I love it!! Great wings (some of the best in DC), good burgers (best veggie burger around) and sweet potato fries are our favorites in DC. The place has never really recovered from the fire of 2005, but the core of the regulars just can't seem to move on so we still hang around. Like I've said before I'm not there very often these days, but when I do get to hang out with; the other Will, Rock-n-Roll Mike, Bill, and the others that pop in from time to time it's usually a really fun time! One thing that has improved at the lounge is the beer. Well, one sort of beer, Great Lakes Brewing Dortmunder Gold! Great Lakes began making its way into DC just over a year ago, when they found their way to the Lounge it reaffirmed my faith in my favorite watering hole!
The above photo was taken by Will Sears, notice Graeme's endorsement of Great Lakes! We had a good visit with Will and Keri Sears as well as Ariana Leo and Chris Bowman who made it over on very short notice to meet Graeme. It was a fun couple hours with old friends in a familiar place.
Sunday was a BIG day for us. Let's see May 1st is Janice and Gary's anniversary, my brother's and Kayla's birthday!!! and add to that our confirmation at church and we had a pretty exciting day ahead of us.
The morning was uneventful save for one minor detail. For the first time since his birth we left Graeme! Janice made an early trip in from the farm to watch Graeme while Jenn I attended church. Sunday was the day that Jenn and I became full members of St. Paul's parish. I was confirmed into the Episcopal Church and Jenn was received into St. Paul's. Reception is in lieu of Jenn having already been confirmed into the Catholic Church. The confirmation service was a long one. We were proceeded by five baptisms and approx 30 or so youth and adult confirmations. After just under two hours we were official members of St. Paul's. Can't say it enough we love our new church and are excited to be regular participating members and are looking forward to Graeme's christening this fall.
On the way home we stopped at Chateau Animaux for some special treats and a new collar for Kayla. On this day Kayla turned 11! She is active, agile, fast and healthy as ever and still the best dog in the Northern Virginia area for the sixth year running! Once again she won that award unanimously! Kayla loved her treats (a Blue Martini Biscuit and an Ice Cream Sandwich crunch bar) and her new collar. Pics soon.
Later in the day we had a quick visit from Jim, Rachel and Elizabeth McGreevy. It was Elizabeth's first introduction to Graeme. Rachel and Jim brought lunch (thanks a million) and we had a fun little visit.
After a short down time, we hosted Janice and Gary for their anniversary dinner. They provided the meat, we had the grill! We had grilled Sirloin Steaks (a staple from Janice's youth), sweet potatoes, salad, roasted veggies and some Amish strawberry shortcake! It was a pretty good meal and even better company. Totally ready for grilling all summer long! The Weber is ready to go and with the smokenator (great smoker conversion for your Weber kettle grill) we'll be barbequing ribs and pork butts all summer long!
This a long post so I'll end it with Happy Birthday to Jay and Kayla and Happy Anniversary to Janice and Gary.
That's it for now.

Greek Lunch With the NALC Crew
Hey All,
Graeme made a surprise visit to the NALC crew that was out for a "working lunch". We met; Jim Sauber (Michigan Alum and all around great guy), Tucker, Meaghan, Stephen DeMatteo, Bridgette Early and Jeremy Goldberg at Cava on 8th. Cava is a great Greek Mezze restaurant, I had my Gtreek staple, no not the Gyro (no matter how you say it), but the Chicken Souvlaki. Cava is great, however, it has a an annoying deal where if you try to sub a salad for the fries that come with the lunch special, you can't! You have to order the salad in addition, not substituted for the fries. Oh yeah and a side salad is $4.00! I know I know I sound like a cheap skate! It's just the principle, makes an otherwise fun place to eat just a bit annoying. Anyway, we didn't go so much for the food as for the company. Jenn and I had a great time and Graeme made a great impression. The picture below is of Graeme with Jim, they are deep in discussion on how to address the budget crisis we're facing and I think I heard some talk about the NFL labor dispute. Jim is a serious big brain when it comes to all things economics, in particular labor stuff. Not sure how it ended, but Graeme seemed happy enough when we left so I'm guessing he and Jim see eye to eye.
After Cava, we threatened to head over to the Capitol Lounge, one of my favorite old haunts. I haven't been able to hang out at the Lounge very often lately, however Jim has adopted this watering hole as his, so I feel adequately represented. We decided against hanging at the lounge. Instead we grabbed a fro-yo at Sweetgreen and had some family time. Sweetgreen has this AWESOME natural fro-yo, it's tart and creamy and actually good for you! I add dark chocolate, coconut and pineapple (although they had no pineapple so I went with plan B, strawberries). Jenn had the same I think? Not quite sure. Anyway, we enjoyed our sweet treat and headed home for a quiet night at Little Alex.
While we didn't make it to the lounge, that won't stop me from telling a lounge story. One of the funniest stories that happened at the lounge (and one of the few that doesn't start with, "I was bombed at the lounge when...) was an afternoon at the lounge with Jim, Jenn, and Meaghan. It was right after the "We Are 1" rally on the mall. Now, some back story, the Lounge (as much as I hate it) is a Michigan State Football watch bar, so after the rally the place was filling up with MSU alum before an MSU game. We sat down, I thought nothing of the fact that I had on my "NALC Five Day The Wrong Way" t-shirt and a U of M hat. If you know me you know I wear that hat just about all weekend long! Anyway we had a few beers, a slice or two of pizza and railed on and on about how the current cast of Republicans on the hill was ruining America for the working class (FYI they still are in case you're not reading the papers or are focused on Obama's birth certificate). When got up to leave we passed a table of MSU alumni, as we did Jenn about busted a gut laughing. After we got out side I asked her what was so funny. As Jen collected herself she recounted hearing one of the guys at the table remark as we walked by, "Wow, you don't see many U of M grads becoming mailmen!" We all had a good laugh! Might be one of those had to be there moments, but all my other stories are not suitable for publication on the web.
OK this is supposed to be about Graeme and Kayla, not good times at the lounge. Sadly for the blog, Graeme has been pretty good lately. No projectile pooping, or torturing Mom and Dad with late night tantrums. He's been pretty good. Maybe we'll have better material tomorrow. We are planning on going to my confrimation rehersal, then out for brunch/lunch some where. We'll talk soon.

Baby Success and The NFL Draft
Hey All,
Yesterday may go down as the day it all started to go oh so right. Jenn and I planned a nice little day out; Crystal City Sports Pub for some lunch, Giant for a few Groceries, Ice-berry for Yogurt and the Library for a video. We weren't sure we'd have enough time! Well we did have plenty of time, we made it to the library to get our library cards and rent a recommended video, The Happiest Baby on the Block by Dr. Harvey Karp. This is the video that was recommended to us during our random new parent encounter a few days back, it was said that it would change our lives! Well it very well could have! We finally learned the proper swaddle technique and how to use it in conjunction with the other four S's shushing, side or stomach hold, swinging and sucking. During our research of the video, we found a recommended product, the Halo Sleep Sack. "Wow" I thought, we should have gotten one of these, our lives would have been so much easier the past few days. Then we (and by we I mean Jenn) remembered hey we have one! Thanks to Julie Eddy we have a Halo Sleep Sack so swaddling just became much much easier!!! So we practiced the techniques and would you believe it they WORKED!! We were able to trigger Graeme's "calming reflex" and get him to stop fussing and sleep. Graeme made it through last night without interruption save for his scheduled feedings! Makes for a boring Blog, but that is the most exciting news to us. Can't recommend this video enough for helping cope with new born fussiness. Already paying huge dividends for us and we were able to get it at the local library!
The other big part of our day yesterday was a visit with Jenn's colleague at the NALC and our good friend Meaghan Slater. She brought some snacks, some sweets (cupcakes from Eastern Market), a nice Pinot Noir and a six-pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon tall boys!! The perfect gift for our NFL Draft watch party. Actually not much of a party, Janice and Gary stuck with it until the Redskins traded #10 and Meaghan left soon there after, but we had fun while it lasted. Graeme got his first taste of the NFL and what it means to be a Browns fan. He looks great in Orange and Brown!
We also had another box of gifts for Graeme. Ernie Kirkland, an NALC Officer, and his wife Linda sent us a wonderful box of outfits. Graeme is going to be, if he isn't already, a fashion maven! Thanks Ernie and Linda.
Today another outing for lucnh, a photo shot for Graeme (we hope), the post office, all the sorts of mundane things that will eventually make you despise this blog and ask yourself, "Why do I care that you went to the post office?"
Talk to you soon
Peace

Gifts From Friends and Passing It On...Thanks
Hey All,
Just a quick note to say thank you to Dr. Stephen Vargo and Family for a gift of Trumpette Johnny's. You might remember these from a previous post. Graeme will be totally stylish once he fits in these awesome little socks, they keep his feet snugly and he looks very cool. Pics in his Johnnys will be coming soon! Thanks Doc and Courtney.
Also, had a very nice gift of some outfits from Katie and Jason Dadakis, friends of mine from my time at the University of Arizona. Katie and I were classmates and study partners. We were also workout buddies, Katie pushed me to get into running and I think she would be glad to know I have started up again, although my ankle is a bit iffy these days, I'm back in the game and working to get back to where I was in 2003-2004. Katie and Jason are also new parents for the second time with the birth of their second daughter Ainsley. She is a beautiful little girl and is born to two of the best people I know. Thanks K-Rizzle.
We also had another visit from Bob Mulvaney and this time he brought some caprese salad and chicken skewers. Bob is an excellent cook. He and I both have a thing for cooking, we need to get the grills and smokers going this summer, Bob. Bob also brought some feed me/change me sheets to monitor the feeding and pooping around here and a great CD full of great baby music, lullabies and classics for babies. Thanks Bob.
Thanks to everyone for all the support, help and just plain kindness since Jenn and I have welcomed Graeme into our family. IT has really been an amazing display of love and caring from all of our friends and family.
To pass along the kindness, Jenn and I have made a contribution to one of our favorite charities, Heifer International. We donannted a flock of chicks for 12 months. Just $20 a month can help give 12 families around the world the gift of a flock of chicks to help produce food for the family and income by selling meat and/or eggs. Heifer's program requires families that receive gifts to learn sustainable farming practices and to pass it on. The family that receives our gift will in the future give some of their flock as it grows to other families and teach them how to maintain and grow their own flock. Heifer embodies the notion, "Give a man a fish feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, feed him for life." Heifer is a great organization, if you're looking for a charity that can make a difference, Heifer is a great choice.
Make a difference.

Lacation Success!! and Lunch at Chadwicks
Hey All,We had an appointment with our lactation consultant Wednesday AM and it turns out we're right on with Graeme's breastfeeding. Graeme's weight is up to 7lbs 8 oz and our technique was judged to be right on. It appears Graeme just didn't want to eat when we thought he should. Best part of our visit was leaving with a renewed confidence in our ability to parent, something that ebbs and flows around here as Graeme's attitude towards feeding and sleeping oscillates. He is always into pooping so if you judge by that criteria we're the best parents on the planet! We left the Dr. feeling pretty good about ourselves, so we decided a lunch at Chadwick's would be our reward for a parenting job well done (it also spelled us from the monotony that can set in holed up in the lower promenade).
Graeme took a load off as soon as we hit the booth, take a look he is pretty relaxed. This is his first outing to someplace other than the Dr. office, but he wasn't nearly as excited as Jenn and I about lunch at Chadwick's. If you've spent any amount of time with Jenn and I, you know we have a couple staples; Chadwick's, O'Connell's and Columbia Firehouse (mentioned in a previous posting, while Bruce and Lynn were here). Chadwick's is a great pub right near the Potomac with a great menu; great burgers, fish tacos, black bean chili and excellent salads. Yesterday Jenn had the Cobb Salad and a diet coke, I have the Seafood Cobb and a Victory Brewing Co. Prima Pils. If you haven't had a Victory Beer, GET ONE!!! Great beer brewed in Pennsylvania, really great beer. The Pils is my favorite, but they are all good. Lunch was a success, Graeme slept through it, Jenn and I had a good meal and a chance to unwind, like regular people. It was a much needed outing, we've decided now that Jenn is feeling better we're going to have at least one of these a day. Thursday, we're headed tot he library and then for frozen yogurt!
Still experimenting with my black and white photos in preps for our birth announcement, hopefully we'll have a proof later this week. If Graeme cooperates we'll do a photo shoot sometime today. We'll keep you advised and maybe put up some proofs if we're conflicted on the design.
Here are a few random pics, just because we can. Hope you enjoy! Focus on Graeme, I look like, well what I look like, but it's not pretty.
Peace.
