Brotherly Love
Evan came to the hospital today to meet his new baby brother. He seemed amazed (just as we all are) with how tiny Kaden's toes, nose, and feet are. He likes to touch his hair and say "soft, soft, soft" over and over again. We have also been reading a book about being gentle so he tries really hard to be gentle with Kaden.
Kaden Patrick Perry arrives...
Kaden arrived at 6:32 p.m. EST in Brisbane (3:32 a.m. CST in the US) on October 15th, 2007.
8 lb 1 oz, 21 in. long, 14 in. head circumference (Perry gene)
Kaden Patrick is named after his two grandmothers and joins Evan Thomas who's named after his two grandfathers.

And the waiting continues . . .
as Baby Perry #2 has decided to be somewhat more stubborn than Evan was and still hasn't decided to make his appearance into the world. Our "official" due date is October 12th (this Friday) so we will visit the doctor on Thursday afternoon and decide where to go from here.
So, seeing that we can't venture too far from home we haven't done much over the past few weekends (check out Evan's website and you'll see more of what Evan and I spent the past two weeks doing.)
So the pictures this week will relate to some Australian Education:
1) This picture is of a "travelator" found in most malls around the area. This is like an escalator but without the stairs. You can sometimes find both travelators and escalators in the same mall as well. When leaving the mall and needing to go down the travelator to the car park with your TROLLEY (shopping cart) there are notches in the travelator that catch the wheels of the trolley so that it doesn't roll down the travelator at high speed. . . without you. The notches keep the trolley in place until you have reached the bottom.
2) Many of you have heard me complain about how expensive things are here. Here is an example of how expensive Coke is . . . $2.85 for a 2 Liter of Coke and $21.98 for a 30-pack of canned Coke. Outrageous!
3) The final picture may just look like another meat section in the grocery store but here in AUS you will find a cold area in the meat section devoted just to dog and cat food. Sometimes it has it's own case (like shown here) . . . sometimes it doesn't. But all of the food you see pictured here is specifically labeled for dogs or cats.
