Passports and babies...

I received my passport in the mail yesterday. I was going to take a picture of it and put it up so all could see but then I remembered that I have a crazy sister that would probably kill me if I did that. Speaking of which are you all aware that my sister is pregnant? No? How could you not know, she's HUGE.. I'm talking as big as a house..Ok honestly she's not that big at all. A typical normal pregnancy, gained just enough weight to have a healthy baby.

Awesome!!.. I'm going to be an uncle very soon. It's going to be great. Do you have any idea of how much fun I am going to have at Toy-R-Us when I'm shopping for her (leyla, layla, leila or however it's spelled this week)?? I'm already eyeing her first chemistry set, I looked for the "My first dissection" set but I couldn't find it. Eh, she can make little bombs with her chemistry set. Yes, Yes I know that she's not even born yet but that's ok. I'll mix up the chemicals and put themin her rattler and she can mix them up . She would be an active participant and that's the key you have to start out young. If she's making weird chemical bombs as a child just think about what she'll be making when she grows up. Yup that's right BIG bombs.. how cool would that be. I'd walk around town just telling people "Hey Yo, what's up, ya my niece makes bombs, she could blow this whole place up". No honestly, how cool would that be?? Seriously think about it.... no you're wrong, it would be cool.

Actually my first purchase for her will be baby beethoven and works from other composers. I haven't told my sister this yet...well maybe I have... eh it doesn't matter she knows now ;) . Today is the 18th and my sister is due within the next 7 days. Time is ticking down........
Update: What was I thinking?!? that baby beethoven link is to a DVD.. F@wk that! Ain't no niece of mine gonna be sucked into a boob toob as a child. She has her whole life to ruin her life I don't need to do it for her. Uh uh, no how. I'm going to be getting her the audio cd, something for her to listen to not something to watch. I want her to use her brain and not zone out into a television screen (nor do I want her to zone out on a computer).

Don't worry I'm going to be taking pictures like crazy and I will definitely post them on my website. Look for a "My supa-dupa niece" link on my website after this weekend. I'm going to do some very quick site enhancements this weekend. The first one is to add a "My Supa-Dupa Niece" link to a gallery of pictures of my new niece (ya ya, deal with it Athena, the world is gonna see the girl cuz' your brother's a geek). The second addition is to add back the pictures from reddingfamily.com. The site used to be around but its dead now. The third is a new feature to receive an email when I update my blog. I know a few people read this blog (right??) so I'm going to make it easier for you to be notified of when I post a new update. This will be especially useful when I'm overseas for the summer as updates will be sporadic at best (my assumption at least).

One last item, for those of you in the Portland area I am considering heading to Austin hot springs over this weekend probably saturday or sunday. If you want to come along contact me.

Aight that's all I got..
