What a weekend!

This weekend has been a memorable one. It started with a nice relaxing Saturday morning to Page Springs winery with our friends Jay and Amie. We had a great day of relaxation with a nice picnic next to the creek that runs through the winery. From there we went to Jerome for some afternoon coffee and just a visit to one of Arizona's more interesting cities. While there, we literally ran into Maynard Keenan, who is the lead singer of the band Tool and now a successful wine maker. Saturday was a great day full of friends, wine, and celebrities.

Sunday came along and we went for a nice car ride to the airport to pick up my mom. Later on we went to her house to drop her off and had the idea of going for a nice little swim to help take the pressure off Tara's back. Well, lets just say Alistair was not going to have any of that. Instead Tara started having contractions and after an hour of them we decided it would be best to make our way over to the hospital. It seems as though Alistair was trying to come into the world a little early than what was expected. After a couple more hours of contractions and the nursing staff out of tricks up their sleeve's, Tara was admitted to the hospital for further observation and to stop the contractions. During this time Tara was poked, prodded and thoroughly examined and even now I find myself learning what an amazing woman I have for a wife. We have been seen by a couple different doctors who really do not have any concern if Alistair was to come today, but they would prefer if he baked a little longer. The baby is in great shape and is doing great. Tara is quite tired and a little stir crazy being confined to the bed. All in all, everything is going good for Tara and Alistair. We should be released from the hospital today and on our way back home. What a weekend!!!
