first bath
Landon got his first bath earlier this week. We're pretty sure he didn't enjoy it too much. Toward the end of the bathing, he had a little spray on Mommy's right arm. We all laughed about that. Well, Amos and Crystal did. Landon was still unhappy about his cleansing experience.

LA's first Rock exposure
We took Landon to his first rock and roll show over Labor Day weekend. Big Head Todd at RibFest @ Military Park in downtown Indy. (Yes, he is actually present even though we don't have pictures posted to prove it.) He slept through basically the entire show. Great weather. Good times with family. And, fantastic ribs! We will do it again.

Dad time...
...before Amos headed back to work after his "paternal vacation," (we're pretty certain that's not even a real thing) Landon and he had some bonding time. Which really equated to sleeping in the papasan.

Why "Landon Amos?"
Because so many people are curious about how we came to choose the name "Landon Amos"...
Crystal liked the name a lot for a number of years because of "A Walk to Remember." (Insert laugh here. -- But, make fun of my son's name to my face because he was named after a sappy romantic comedy and stand to lose a vital organ.) Strangely enough, that reasoning was not my tipping point.
The name Landon Amos actually means troubled land. While not overtly optimistic sounding, that is the very reason that finally hooked me after months of prayer and consideration over a good handful of names. Naming creation was one of the very first tasks we were ever given as man (think Gen 2:19 -- How do you suppose Adam came up with the word "Lion" when there was no pretext at all for such a word?). So, I took is very seriously. God brought our little guy into this world through Crystal and me to make a difference in our surrounding communities. To reach into places that aren't necessarily safe with the heart of eternal Love. To reach our troubled land.
In addition to being biblical (entire book at end of Old Testament), Amos is a family name. I was named after my Great Uncle who was my Dad's favorite uncle. My Dad started a tradition on his side of passing on a father's first name down as his son's middle name. My Dad's name is Kent. As is my middle name.
There you have it. Landon Amos.

Welcome, LA!
At 6:44 am on Friday, August 11th, LA came into our world (7lb 14oz / 21in). It was an experience unworthy of words themselves! We're all healthy & happy to be home together to continue to experience God's Life and Love in our lives. Thanks to SO many that have called and helped with things along the way. Much more info on these pages in the days to come.
Oh, yes...Uncle Frankie won the poll and already claimed his cash! Nice work, guy!

2cm & the closet curtain is hung
We found out at the doctor yesterday that Crystal is 2cm dialated and ready anytime. That didn't stop her from finishing up the curtain she started sewing on Sunday. We go back to the doc on Friday. It seems she's ready anytime! :)

Some hot curb appeal!
Crystal's parents came down for a weekend of pure landscaping enjoyment in the beautiful Indiana July sun. Actually, we "rocked" it out in less than 3 hours Saturday morning and then kicked back the rest of the evening into Sunday. No worries, all. Crystal watched with envy from our huge front window. She did bring us water, though. :)
The curb appeal was a b-day gift for Amos and Crystal from Mom & Dad E. Thanks! You guys are the best! Such an awesome difference in the yard.
Can't wait to see you guys next time...in the hospital! :)

Costa Room project
These are a few quick pics, I am sure Amos will post some better ones. I will have to take some during the day. We haven't put up a ceiling fan yet, so it is kind of dark. The crown molding and trim is still left to do and some touch up paint, but it is is getting there. Chloe loves to pose for the camera! Isn't she so cute!?
night night
This is where our little baby will be sleeping!! I hope he/she sleeps alot and always on a schedule! HA!
