I think this pic helps everyone to know my political standing this year...

I guess this lets everyone know where I stand politically...

McCain Rally

Britt and I went to the McCain Rally in La Crosse this morning. Baby Wyatt went along too since he is also an avid McCain supporter. Ettoile decided to go to daycare because she is leaning more towards Obama... as long as it's an educated decision than I guess I'm OK with her choice. Britt, as many know is a democrat but is leaning more towards McCain. I, as most know, am a declared republican since I most closely relate with the republican party and ideals but I am proud to say that I am a bi-partisan voter, voting for whomever I feel represents me as an american.

The other day when I had mentioned to a coworker that I was going to attend the rally today, her response was, "Oh... I'm sorry." My response was, "Oh... I don't apologize for making well educated and rational choices for me and my family." I hate ignorance and rude people. I am fine with whoever supports Obama, in fact I have great respect for the man. I'm sure that he would do great as the next president, but I think that McCain will do much better and lead our country to a better standing than Obama ever could. If you support Obama, good for you and I am happy for your choice, AS LONG AS you have made an educated one. BUT, if you really dont know what either stands for or the difference between the two platforms than shame on you for jumping on the trendy bandwagon. Anyways, I guess thats all I have to say about politics. Heres a few pics from the rally and a few more from the devilishly handsome young man...

Wyatt Jeffrey Luna

So here's some pics of Mommy's new man... There's one semi-graphic one of the c-section, I think it's beautiful but sorry to anyone that it makes a bit queasy and then a random one of Ettoile and her cousin Preston in the bathtub tonight.

HE'S HERE!!!

We are proud to welcome to the world;

Wyatt Jeffrey Luna born at 12:38pm (CST),

weighing in at 7lbs 8.8oz and 20 1/4inches long.

He has semi-thick dark hair like his Dad. Im thinking he'll lose alot of it like Ettoile did. He's very alert and loves to keep his eyes open and look at Mommy for extended lengths of time. He has the Luna lips just like Ettoile, and Britt swears that he has a semi-butt chin like I do. I don't think I have a butt chin... but for arguments sake I guess I do. In short, you can tell he's our boy.

Mom and Baby are doing great. He's eating well and both are very healthy. Ettoile is with her uncle Brandon and cousin Collin at Noni Kates house (Britt's Mom). She was excited to see the new baby and was all about touching his face. I think eventhough Wyatt was an accident the timing between the two of them will work out to be really good. Wyatt gave Ettoile a new puppy (stuffed animal of course, with two kids under 2 who in their right mind would want a real puppy) which made Ettoile really excited and helped her to welcome the new baby. As most of you remember, Ettoile was born via "crash" emergency C-Section after 8 hours of labor with Britt fully dialated. We chose a scheduled c-section this time so that Britt and I could enjoy the experience (in crash c-sections the mom is put completely out and the Dad is not able to view the birth) and not feel robbed. As per our Dr. the chances of her having a second c-section were in the mid 90's so we accepted his recommendation to schedule the delivery to have a smoothe calm experience that we'd be able to enjoy and remember. Thus far it has been great and Britt is healing miraculously. After just a few hours she was up and walking around with no help, she's amazing. The whole experience has been very calm and wonderful. We couldn't be happier with the new addition to our family.

I know many of you have seen this photo already from my cell phone. Britt asked if I wouldn't take the digital camera until tonight... just in case she wanted to take some pics. Soooo more pics will be up later tonight or tomorrow morning. Love you all!

Just a quick ironic post...

Yep, one day left till baby Wyatt joins the party! We're very excited and Britt, although a little nervous, is more than ready for him to be done in the oven... But on another note, my sister Heather had posted a bit ago about Logan's elbow becoming dislocated... I guess it must run in the family because today I dislocated Ettoile's elbow... it was wierd... I just picked her up by one arm like I have a hundred times before but this time her elbow dislocated... needless to say, she was not very happy and Britt had to take her to the emergency to get it placed correctly since I had to leave to go to class and I dont know how to do it anyways. Britt always gets on my case about picking Ettoile up by one arm or by her hands as opposed to under her arms and today I got the big "How many times have I told you... blah blah blah." She's doing fine now and while I was at work I guess it came out again... I think she slept on it funny while napping and woke up screaming. Brave Brittany called me a billion times and finally built up the courage to pop it back into place by herself. Im so proud. Anyways, just thought I should share my "Bad Daddy of the Year" news with everybody.

I'll try to post an update on Britt and the baby ASAP either tomorrow or friday...

Powerwheel hunk steeling Ettoile's heart...

Ettoile's cousin Collin got a new powerwheel jeep for his birthday... today was the first day that Ettoile has gotten to ride with him. Needless to say, she was so excited that she was borderline hyper-ventilating... literally... I thought she was going to faint she was so excited... here's a few pics of the trek. I'm beginning to wonder if her love will be won by true love or by nice flashy things such as a jeep...

"Oh Collin, you're such a hunk." -Ettoile

Migrating west... MID-west that is

We're very happy to have Jason and Sara closer to us. They came down this weekend to La Crosse from Minneapolis (about 2.5 hour drive). We enjoyed spending some time together and the kids had a great time. Damien turned one month while they were down here and he's sure a cutie. Britt loved being able to hold him since he's such a cuddler and is now more baby Wyatt hungry than ever. As of today we're down to the single digits of days remaining. Can you believe she's ready to pop from the pic below? She's one hot baby momma. Heres a few pics from the weekend. There's one of Jason rocking Damien, Ettoile and Preston watching Cinderella while the adults get ready for church, Britt and Ettoile at the park, Britt cuddling Damien or the other way around, and a few of Ettoile with Damien. Ettoile thought Damien was the best thing since sippy cups. She didn't get jealous at all and got super excited to be able to touch ("nice touches" was said alot this weekend) and look at the baby.

FHE this week...

For Family home evening this week we went to Riverside park in the downtown and fed the ducks. Ettoile thought this was the greatest. The park is right on the shore of the Mississippi river and there are always a slew of ducks just waiting for some handouts. After that we went to "The Pearl." It's an old fashioned ice cream parlor downtown that makes it's own icecream. Coldstone is good but there's something about the ice cream here, maybe it's the wisconsin milk... the cold weather must make the cows here ice cream friendly... Etty's had ice cream before but I think she literally ate like half of each of ours.

Daddy's little helper

Etty was playing in her room today and then saw that I was in our room putting up a new ceiling light/ fan. She took the initiative to come and help me finish the installation. She's my good little helper.

You may have also noticed that the baby count down was on 14 days for two days... apparently Britt's Dr. will be in a meeting the day that her delivery was scheduled and had to move it back a day. Britt was disappointed to say the least. An OB should know better than mess with a prego's delivery date.
