This is a follow-up to my search for budget gaming/movie/music headphones earlier this month. I ended up buying both the Koss KSC75 and Creative Aurvana Live!, and I’ve been pretty happy with them.
Third Time’s The Charm
It has taken me a bit longer to get to blog about Bruce’s birth. I hardly get to the computer these days. But here it is: the birth story of our third child.
As I did with Violet’s story, the short version is that the labor was about 12 hours. The pushing stage was 5 minutes. I had a natural birth at Alma Midwifery Birth Center. It was another water birth, and it went very well. My midwife said the birth was “amazing.” Bruce was born on his actual due date, December 11th, 2011 at 3:23am, weighed 8lbs 6oz, 20 inches long, with a head circumference of 14 1/2 inches. He looked a lot like Kadie did as a newborn. We were very pleased to have a son!
Hunting for Headphones
I’ve spent almost a month (wow, really?) researching headphones. I can’t remember how I got addicted into this research, but I’ve already returned one set of cans and hoping the next will fare better. I can’t believe how complicated the audiophile world is.
Birthday and Wishes Fulfilled

I had a terrific birthday with a snow storm, juicy sous-vide steaks, airsoft assault rifles, great rubber of bridge, and quality time with friends. I’m so thankful that people were able to make it out to my in-laws for a fun day.
Our Gifts from Christmas

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We really appreciated receiving Christmas cards and letters from friends close and far. We will need to send out Christmas cards of our own next year to stay in touch with friends.
Merry Christmas!

It’s A Boy!

Welcome Bruce Lim, God’s third addition to our family!
Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a delicious Thanksgiving. We had our traditional gigantic bowl of mashed potatoes, brine turkey, board games, and family fellowship.
I experimented with a time-lapse app on my iPod after being inspired by the stop-motion video “Address is Approximate.”

How Are You Feeling?
When people ask me how the pregnancy is going, my short answer is usually A) “Great! Thanks to my chiropractor!” Or, I think I’ll add a B) “Great! I’ve got an amazing husband who massages my feet all the time!”
The long answer goes something like this:
Our Special Songs

Dancing before, during, and continuing in our courtship, we have a number of songs that we consider “our songs.” The song was either a great dance together or something that spoke to us.
