Went to see the new nephew on Wednesday. He's perfect! And Angie is doing well. Incredibly well. She's the first person I know of who gave birth and then said, "Jeri, it wasn't that bad!"
I made sure to take a lot of pictures with their digital camera while I was there, and as soon as they email them to us, I'll post some here.
And now that I've been hanging out with Connor I'm not so afraid of touching a baby, so I was actually able to hold Harrison on his first day as a newborn without freaking out! He's got a bit of a conehead, lots of hair on his head, sharp little fingernails, and most of the time he sleeps because being born was hard work. He has been letting out some gas, which made Ric say, "He takes after his uncle!" Ric also tried to make him flip the bird for a picture, but everyone else agreed that Harrison should be allowed his innocence for at least a little while.
Meanwhile, I'm still looking for a picture to put on our wall. For the library, I'm thinking about an old world map. But I might want to buy a globe and then it would seem repetitive. So I might go with a painting of something historic, like Washington Crossing the Delaware, or something to that effect.
For the living room, I've taken note of pieces by Klimt, Gottlieb, Bierstadt, Gericault, Van Gogh, Monet, Bucholz, Sheets, Benton, Mondrian, Caillebotte, Shvaiko, Millais, Frederic, and Wyeth. I've only looked through a fourth of the choices at allposters.com (7,000 posters), and still want to look through more!
