Nov 21

Posted by Randy in New Photos, Our Family | No Comments

Becky's Surprise 29.9th Birthday Party Becky’s 30th birthday is coming up on the 21st of December (mark your calendars!). It’s always so hard to throw her a party with her friends because everyone is usually busy around the holidays. Sooooo…I decided to throw her a surprise party over a month early. I called it her 29.9th party!

I have to thank Angie and Lisa for getting her out of the house for me and helping to make suere it all went off ok. And also I appreciate Aubrey and Beth and Ted (and Kendall) making the trip to Becky's Surprise 29.9th Birthday PartyTucson for the party as well as for their help with the last minute party prep.  And of course Michele, thanks for picking up the cake and some party supplies etc. Sorry Ken was under the weather and you didn’t get to hang around for the part. :(

I think its safe to say she was completely surprised! We had a reat time. Check out the rest of the photos.

New Photos – May 2008 and New Library

Jun 16

Posted by Randy in New Photos | No Comments

All smiles 2 I’m a little behind on posting the May photos. Sorry about that. Last month was a fun one with Michaela (see Becky’s previous Post). One of my favorite new things was seeing her cute smile! Now she’s even more expressive and she recognizes her Mom and Dad and of course her Big Sister. Other highlights of the month included Felicity’s first hair cut (just to even things up), Uncle Kenny’s 25th Birthday where Michaela finally got to meet her Papa Ellis and Uncle Louie, Mother’s Day and learning to roll over.

New Library Last weekend was a fun event on Saturday. The new Library by our house (Cortaro and Silverbell) had its grand opening. The Wheeler Taft Abbett Sr. (WTA) Pima County Library is build on a site that will eventually be part of a rather large Town of Marana park. It borders along the Santa Cruz river and the Architect did a fantastic job capitalizing on the great views of the surrounding mountains and the future views of the park. We know the girls are going to love going there for storytime and to check out books.

It was particularly special for me because my firm, NCS Consultants, was the geotechnical engineer on the project. It wasn’t the run of the mill project either. There were problem soils down to a depth of about 20-ft. We looked at several options to mitigate them, but it would have been too expensive to dig down to 20-ft. So we had them overexcavate 10-ft and used layers of what’s called geogrid in between the compacted soil layers. Even though most people will never appeciate what went in to making a safe and long-lasting building foundation, it gives me a great sense of accomplishment and pride to have helped put our new library on solid ground. I’ll probably post a description of the project and construction photos to our compan website sometime soon. Maybe I’ll post here when I do if anyone is interested in the engineering of the library.

Michaela’s Baptism and Jackie’s Graduation

May 22

Posted by Randy in Michaela, New Photos, Our Family | No Comments

This past weekend was a very busy one! Saturday was my niece Jackie’s graduation from Salpointe Catholic High School, my HS alma mater. It was very exciting to live vicariously through her and remember what it was like moving from HS to college. I think Jackie could have done without all of the ceremony and pomp and circumstance.

My brother Ted is Jackie’s godfather, so he flew in with his oldest son, Nick on Friday to attend her graduation. Nick is graduating from 8th grade in the coming days also! Ted is also Michaela’s godfather, so we were fortunate to be able to schedule her baptism for this weekend to take advantage of Ted being in town.

Michaela was baptized at our home Parrish, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton at the 9am mass. As I mentioned, Ted Post was the godfather and Becky’s eldest sister, Ann Polakowski was her godmother. Ann came in to Phoenix on Friday, and came down to Tucson on Saturday. It was her and Hayden’s first time meeting Michaela too.

I really enjoyed having the baptism during mass, and truly welcoming her into the church community. I was a little nervous lifting her up, but I didn’t drop her so everything worked out fine. But I think half of our family and probably the congregation was hearing “The Circle of Life” from the Lion King in their head when I did that.

Of course private baptism ceremonies are nice sometimes too, like what we did with Felicity. Afterwards we had a little party at our house of course. It was a really nice day and it so special to have most of our family there for the event, especially Michaela’s godparents! Thanks Kris and Erik for lending us your spouses!

Michele and Ken’s Wedding

Apr 24

Posted by Randy in New Photos | No Comments

Michele and Ken's Wedding Ken and Michele were married on Saturday April 12th. Becky used to work with Michele at GRB, the first law firm she worked at. Felicity was very honored to be the flower girl in the wedding, she absolutely loved her “wedding dress”. Grandma Post altered it so it fit better but so she can let it out a litle more in the shoulders when she gets bigger. She also loved her “Sfinkle” (that’s sprinkle to the rest of us) shoes! She did great with only a little help from Becky to get started down the aisle. Felicity and MurphyAnd she had fun with Murphy the ring bearer, a really nice and patient kid to put up with Felicity dragging him around! Let me tell you, Felicity has the Cinderella fantasy down to a T! She drug Murphy out on the dance floor as soon as the DJ started the music practically, and she wouldn’t let me out of dancing with her either. But I’m not complaining, it was really cute and an evening I’ll never forget!

New Photos – First baths, Easter, March visitors etc.

Apr 9

Posted by Randy in New Photos, Our Family | No Comments

I posted some new photos last night. The first set was of Michaela’s First baths (both before and after the cord came off). Felicity had a good time helping! The next set is of Easter 2008. We tried out the new stroller on Holy Saturday and walked down to the park for an Easter egg hunt put on by the Town of Marana. On Sunday we had a low key morning at home, Felicity hunted for eggs and wore her present from the EB all morning – a cheerleader dress up outfit. She says she wants to be a cheerleader when she grows up, but not like those crazy ones in Texas. The last set is a collection of photos from the month of March. Included in there were visits from the Phelans; Beth, Ted and Kendall; and Kenny to meet Michaela. Also in there are a few more photos of Michaela and Kona’s 4th birthday.

Welcome Michaela Kate!

Mar 18

Posted by Randy in Michaela, New Photos, Our Family | No Comments

Becky, Felicity and I are very excited to announce our special arrival, Michaela Kate Post! (pronounced Makayla). Click here or on the photo for more photos.

She was born on Thursday, March 13 at 7:39PM and weighed in at 8-lbs 2-oz, and was 19-in long. She is healthy and beautiful! Becky is doing well also. She looks more than a little bit like her big sister! Felicity was at the hospital when she was born and got to see her that night. She took to her new sister right away, and is just thrilled have her around. I think she would have held her all night if we let her. She loves holding her and trying to give her binky (pacifier) to her. She doesn’t seem too bothered by her crying either which is good.

Michaela Kate Newborn We came home from the hospital Saturday night and are adjusting to the new routines with the help of Grandma Ellis who will be with us for the rest of the week. We’re bleary-eyed and exhausted most of the time but we are so thrilled and blessed to have her in our family.
