2016 Gjertsen Family BBQ

Posted on September 16, 2016September 20, 2016 by Rob Gjertsen

Labour Day weekend saw a bunch of family gathering at my parents farm for a BBQ, some fun & games, some laughs, and to come together and spend some time together. It was a wonderful time, one I thoroughly enjoyed.  Too often do we allow the schedule of our daily lives, keep us from seeing […]

Posted on September 13, 2016 by Rob Gjertsen

Daddy’s Log: Day 13

Posted on September 12, 2016September 20, 2016 by Rob Gjertsen

Stardate 94301.29 Sleep still proves evasive, and yet as i type this (ever so slowly) with one hand, as the other is holding someone while she fussily sleeps – I wouldn’t trade this exhausted haze for the world. I took some time this morning to put together a YouTube video, and upload it online, with […]

Status: 91.56% Today is my Sister’s birthday, so I would be amiss if I didn’t take this opportunity and say “Happy Birthday Alicia!” Last night was a rough night.  Nobody in this house slept well, and with each severe “Ugh” and “Guh” from Heather throughout the night, I was convinced we would be making a […]

Status: 90.27% Captain: We have reached Full Term!!! I was very much a preemie.  In fact I was born very early, by more than a month actually, and I see this as having been a precursor to my habitual need for being early for things today. I have to say though, that reaching this stage […]

Status: 89.42% Oh, the waiting…I’m sure it’s the waiting that is the worst, but in so many ways it is amazing in the thought process you go through as individuals and as a couple, waiting for this little miracle to join, and in so many ways become, your world. I spent the day out at […]

Status: 87.6% According to my Daddy app (yes, that’s the actual name of the app), Baby G is now the weight of a cordless drill, and the size of a small toolbox. Most nights after dinner, we will sit down on the couch, and I will rest my head in Heather’s lap and read a […]

Status: 86.58% If this was a grading system from when I was in high school, we would get an A.  At least the A would be for effort I think… It is gorgeous outside this morning, and I plan to spend the day working out at the family farm.  A quick trip to Home Depot […]
