Here we go again!

Its hard to believe that three years, six months, two weeks and two days ago, my little boy Arkus was born. Tomorrow morning at 6am we will arrive at Providence hospital in Portland for the birth of our second son.

Here is Arkus just a few days old:

And here he is today:

Its going to be a long day tomorrow, 6am arrival at Providence, they will prep Ava for surgery, at 8am the delivery is scheduled to begin and if things go like the last time, its about 10 minutes after they start to the time the doc will lift the little guy out. I will post a picture once we get settled back in her room. Wish us luck for tomorrow, and Happy Fathers day to all the dads out there. And Happy Fathers day to my dad, I know he is looking down on us during this special time. This will be my best Fathers day present ever!

Arkus will just have to share this co-pilot seat with his little brother! Or we get another Vette equipped with a child seat so we can make it an family affair

Well, I guess we will just have to see. I do have Ava's mom living with us and she takes care of Arkus now while we work. I already acquired clearance to go to SEMA this year at the end of October. But time will tell on that one. Likely my time will be limited to work with an occasional weekend off for play. That means bring Arkus along to relieve the mother in law which is always OK with the wife and Arkus loves tagging along for a ride in HIS Z06 (so he says)

Congratulations Tom. Looks like everything went well. Ten little toes and ten little fingers.

Maybe I'll catch up with you at SEMA this year. I'll be there all four days this time.
