Dylan's Cinco de Mayo check-in

Dylan had a check up yesterday with his pediatrician. Things went well as he weighed in a 6 lbs, 13.5 ounces - with a length of over 19 inches. Definitely great news!!

Too bad they weren't serving Marg's at the hospital at 9 in the morning on Cinco de Mayo. That would taken an edge off from all the signs, masks, etc. scattered on the grounds because of this whole swine flu thing. I'm about as sick of hearing about the swine flu as I am Favre "un-retiring". Geez... we need some real news in this world!

Anyway, Dylan has been such a great guy lately... eating pretty well, sleeping good for most of the day and he really only gets cranky when a) he gets his daily liquid iron vitamin 'shot' into his mouth, b) when he gets his eye drops put in to help get the crusty's out of his eyes.

Here are some photos from the past few days...

The Heisman Trophy

Well, Cinco de Mayo did not bring about any margaritas or even chips and salsa for me this year. It's actually quite all right however.

Rashaan Salaam's 1994 Heisman Trophy wandered into our office on May 5th, which gave all the Buff alumni in our office the chance to hold the trophy and take photos.

I realize this was a bit random. A women at our office is married to the head pro of the new Colorado National Golf Course and at the Heisman was on display at the dedication ceremony over this past weekend, as previously seen on this blog. So in returning it to Dal Ward it made a quick pit stop at work.

It wasn't quite like holding the Stanley Cup but it's pretty close for this guy.

Big event for CU

CU now has it's own golf course, Colorado National Golf Club.

Over this past weekend there were dedication festivities for Colorado National Golf Club -- the new home for CU's golf teams -- as well as a ribbon cutting ceremony to dedicate Colorado National Golf Club. This represents a "true" home course for the Buffs for many years to come. Over the past 20+ years, the Buffs have changed their home course on a somewhat regular basis.

Formerly Vista Ridge Golf Course, the links were purchased by Steve Kerr, a former CU golfer from the 80s. On the foggy, rainy morning a couple hundred Buff backers were in attendance, including professional golfers (and former Buffs) Steve Jones and Hale Irwin.

The CNGC clubhouse on Saturday was decked out with all sorts of past and present CU memorabilia and awards. Outside, lined up on one side of the putting green, were 12 carts, each painted with the colors and logo of a different team from the Big 12 Conference.

Of particular interest, parked on the side of the putting green was a range-ball picking vehicle colored red and white, with a Nebraska football helmet on the roof and an "N" emblazoned on the front. Keep in mind that range-ball pickers are often the target of people hitting balls on the practice range, and what better target for a CU fan than a symbol of the NU football team, long a dreaded nemesis of the Buffs.

Another day in the life of...

Well, May started off here as rainy and cold. It has made for a good weekend of hanging out around home with Dylan and doing some stuff around the house.

Here are some fun photos from the past couple of days...

We got this from some friends... it's pretty appropriate given our "conversion" to composting 6 months ago and the fact Melissa has taken her own shopping bag into stores for a year or more at this point. Once Dylan gets bigger and goes the cloth diaper route this shirt will be more true than initially realized. Also, I happen to think Dylan will look quite stylish in this onesie!

Hanging out

In Mom's arms...

Already cheering for his favorite Eastern Conference NBA team (yes, he does have a Nuggets onesie that will make an appearance very soon)

Sleeping, with his stocking cap sideways - just like Dad

Ranger is always nearby... and so curious!

Dad going on his first walk with Dylan and Mom last Wednesday. Ranger came along as well.

I'm sure we'll have more photos up soon.... keep coming back to the site for updates!!!
