Mallory Grace Limburg

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Friday we welcomed Mallory Grace Limburg into our family. Jenny gave birth to her via C-section. Which was a blessing in disguise, since Mallory was breached, and had the cord around her neck.

She weighed in at 8 lbs 3 oz, and is 21 in long. She was born 7:45 am, March 10th 2006 at Corona Memorial Regional Medical Center (which is just a fancy name for a dinky clinic). We lucked out and got a private room, and I've been able to stay the nights there. I think I've gotten a total of 6 hours sleep over the last 3 days. Any who, I just came home to post some photos and give Connor a bath. I'm sure Jenny and my mom would like me back, so I gotta go.

Mallory's first photo. Look at her gooey eyes.

Here is my forehead, and our 3rd and last installment to the Limburg family. 

Connor was a bit nervous to meet his new sister. He eventually warmed up to her, and wanted to touch her cheek. 

Megan holding Mallory, and Jon holding them both. Call me captain obvious, but that is exactly what's happening. 

Mimi and Mallory. 

Megan had her tonsil pulled on Jan 13. This is the only photo we took of her, oops. Any who, everything went well, and now we can't even hear her when she sleeps. The Dr. said her tonsils were huge! 

On Christmas Eve, Megan kept asking me to take her training wheels off her bike. So, we went to the park and took them off. I thought it would end up a tragic day, with skinned knees etc. However, she is a natural! I went to a grassy hill, and let her roll down the hill. She was a little wobbly, but she rolled down the hill with a huge grin. We did that about 9 more times, and then all she wanted to do was ride around the park. She has taken a few spills, most with little to no fan fare, and only one wreck where she scuffed up her chin. Now she can start and stop by herself. I never thought it would be that easy. 

Some times I wonder if Connor likes to push his bike more than he likes to ride it. Today he rode his bike to the park, and half way home. 

Connor loves corn! Everytime we have corn, he goes crazy! I'm sure if we cooked 12 cobs of corn, he would eat 8 of them. 

Happy New Year!

I don't have any new photos to post for the new year. But I hope everyone who reads this, has a wonderful year, and that you accomplish your new year resolutions!

Merry Christmas! 

Japan

I was invited to go to Japan for work. Shimano's headquarters are located in Sakai. I was away from the family from 12/4 to 12/14. 10 solid days of meetings! It was a good experience, and I get to return in June for more! I hope during that trip I will be able to visit some temples.

This was the view from my hotel room. 

Here we were making a Korean dessert. 

The food at this restaurant wasn't just delicious, it was DERICIOUS! 

Crazy customed cycles. 

Here is Nobu, holding the live shrimp.
