As many of you now know, we had a baby a few months ago. Yeah, I know that I’m late but better late than never, right? While I actually Tweeted our time at the hospital, I know that many of our readers don’t follow me on Twitter. Consequently, they may not be familiar with the events surrounding Lincoln’s birth.
Because I have a serious lack of time, and because I’ve also typed this all out once, here is a Twitteriffic time line of Lincoln’s birth:
- At hospital. It looks like there may be a new Zohner tonight. 10:36 PM Dec 21st, 2009
- Waiting for the doctor to come and let us know if Holly gets to stay and have baby or if we have to try again another day. 11:48 PM Dec 21st, 2009
- Contractions are 3-4 minutes apart. I hope they don’t send us home. 11:49 PM Dec 21st, 2009

For those who would like a brief glimpse into a few of our camping trips this season, I’ve posted some pictures from our stays at Hades and Tanner’s Flat in the gallery. The gallery is still password protected so if you don’t already know the magic words to get in, just ask us and we’ll be happy to oblige.

Over the weekend, we had our final camping trip of the season. This time we went to Hades campground which is along the banks of the Duchesne River in the Uinta Mountains with my side of the family. This is a location that we discovered last year. It immediately became one of our favorite places to set up camp. When I learned that some of my cousins had never been camping or fishing, I took it upon myself to remedy the situation and organized this family reunion of sorts. Hades made perfect sense because not only is it beautiful, but the fishing is amazing.

Yesterday Holly and I paid a visit to the doctor to find out the gender of our unborn baby. As we suspected, we’ll be having another boy. He appears to be developing very well and is still scheduled to join us in mid-January. Alex and Hannah are both very excited to get a little brother. Emma, not so much. I’m sure she’ll come around though.
Unfortunately we didn’t get any pictures of the ultrasound but I can assure you that he has one head, two brain halves, a spine, at least one arm, at least one leg, and a “boy part”. Surprisingly, that was all very clear to identify for my untrained eyes. Normally when we see the ultrasound image, it’s just a bunch of gray and black. If I’m lucky, I can sometimes see the heart but that’s only because it’s rhythmically beating. Yesterday, it was as if I had spent the last 20 years looking at ultrasound images because everything was easily identifiable and very clear. It was very cool.

This past weekend we took the family into the mountains again. This time we spent three days up Big Cottonwood Canyon with a lot of Holly’s family. All in all, there were close to 30 of us which made for a lot of fun.
It was a pretty uneventful trip. There was no fishing but we did spend Friday morning hiking to Donut Falls. Apparently the “donut” was destroyed a while back so now it’s just “Falls”. It was a relatively short hike but with 12 kids in tow, it took us longer than I expected to complete. A few of us finished the hike with some bumps and bruises but nobody was seriously hurt which is good.

The Fourth of July is always a big deal in the Zohner household, and to be honest, why wouldn’t it be? After all, I come from a long line of rednecks (my grandma used to have a TV that worked on top of her TV that didn’t). The Fourth of July is the perfect redneck holiday! Not only do we get to celebrate the birth of our nation but we get to blow stuff up and cook meat on fire. Who could ask for more?

Holly had her three month checkup today. Her doctor is a big fan of ultrasounds to monitor the health and development of the baby so, like usual, Holly came home with a new picture. Both Holly and the baby are doing well. The baby is still due to arrive in mid-January and we’re still hoping that it comes a few weeks early. December 30th works well for me.
We deiceded to tell the kids about the new arrival over the weekend. They seem to be excited, and seeing picutres of their unborn sibling only adds to that excitement. Hannah was so excited to show me the picture that instead of saying something like “It’s what’s in Mommy’s tummy.” she said “It’s what’s in the baby’s tummy.” I’m not sure if she doesn’t understand what the photo is or if her excitement just impaired her ability to convey what she was thinking. Either way, it was pretty funny.

Shortly after Mother’s Day, Holly called me at work while we were playing video games at lunch. She indicated that she had something that needed discussing but didn’t want to do it over the phone while I was getting off sweet, sweet sniper shots in Halo 2. She asked if I could come home but since it was lunchtime and I still had half a days worth of work to do, that wasn’t really an option. She insisted that the conversation not take place while I was at work so I spent the rest of the day wondering what I had done that had Holly so riled up that she needed to speak with me in person.

When I was a kid, I would spend countless hours at the roller skating rink with my friends. I don’t think that it was so much that I enjoyed roller skating as it was something to do. Don’t get me wrong, I had fun, I just don’t think that the fun was due to the fact that I was wearing ugly shoes with wheels.
A few weeks ago, Holly and the kids thought that it would be a good idea to go roller skating. Skating rinks have evolved since my youth into an entertainment utopia. In addition to roller skating, the one by us has a large number of arcade games, a place to get food, including pizza, a rock climbing wall, and a wing of bounce houses.

Last Thursday night, I was sitting in my much-despised Stats II class when I received a phone call from my dad. Given the fact that I was in a class that I really needed to stay in, I couldn’t take the call and had to let it go to voice mail. As soon as I was able to, I listened to the message and learned that my grandfather’s home has been sold and that the family was going to Paul on Saturday to clean his things out. Of course I wanted to go so I made the necessary arrangements and, on Saturday, Holly and I loaded the kids in the van and we made the trip to Idaho.
