Welcome, Sean Afton Calvin McAlpine
Baby Sean made his debut on Thursday, January 22, 2009 at 10:39 p.m. He weighed in at a whopping 9 lb 0.4 oz and…
…21 in long. How’d he fit in that tummy?
Sean was welcomed by proud parents Mark and Alyssa and big brothers Ian and Brody.
Your a minority in your home, Alyssa. I bet right now you don’t mind. 😉
Alyssa is a dear friend of mine. I met her at her local children’s re-sale shop, Snickerdoodles. What started out as a visit to sell some of Sophie’s baby items has turned into close relationships. Since meeting Alyssa nearly a year and a half ago, I’ve not only found a place where my organizational skills lend a hand, but I’ve developed relationships with her and her mother, “Granny” Helen. They’re more than friends. They’re like family to me.
Alyssa endured quite an ordeal prior to Sean’s arrival. She had plans for a water birth at The Baton Rouge General. On Wednesday, January 21, Alyssa appeared to be in labor with contractions ranging around three minutes apart. She left her store around 3:00 p.m. with her Mom following. Later I would find that they made it as far as her apartment. She wasn’t quite ready to head to the hospital.
She is one tough cookie, people. I’ve seen what this woman can lift. The thought of no epidural alone nearly sent me into high stress. But Alyssa toughed it out through the night, monitoring her contractions as well as Sean’s movements. I’m tired just thinking about it. Every time I talked with Mrs. Helen Thursday I was certain Alyssa would be heading for the hospital.
Sometime Thursday evening her water broke. She made it to the hospital fully dilated. I simply cannot comprehend her having gone through full labor alone. I suddenly feel fragile. As if that were not enough, Alyssa’s situation became even more challenging. Sean had turned sideways. Did you see how long he is? Amazing. Needless to say, baby Sean would be delivered via c-section.
I’m still marvelling at the ordeal this women endured. But Baby Sean is healthy and clearly beautiful. He looks much like his big brothers. I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting him, but I’m sure I will soon.
So many people who frequent Snickerdoodles have called or stopped by to check in on baby Sean and Alyssa. She is clearly loved. Mrs. Helen and I are working with Holly Boze—another close friend of Alyssa and Mrs. Helen. I’ve grown kinda’ fond of her myself. 😉 Holly’s mother, Cheryl has also been a big help getting the store ready for Proud Mom to accommodate baby Sean.
If you just happen to live in the Baton Rouge area, we’d love for you to stop by and visit us at Snickerdoodles on Hwy 16 in Watson. Alyssa’s store is not just a re-sale store. She carries boutique items as well. And you’ll find some down-home people as well. It won’t be long before she’ll be back to greet you.
You may also want to visit Holly’s photography site: bozartia.com.
More pictures are coming soon so be watching…
All pictures are taken by Proud Dad, Mark McAlpine. Mark’s website—mnmids.com—is currently under construction. I’ll post a note when it is ready for viewing his beautiful baby boy.
Update: You can now click this link: www.mnmids.com/SCAM to view Sean’s pictures.
Congratulations, Alyssa and Mark! Take plenty of time to recover, Alyssa. I look forward to meeting that beatiful baby boy.
Welcome, baby Sean! Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee. Jeremiah 1:5
P.S. Note to Proud Granny: We will have pictures printed and posted in store soon.
hi!,I love your writing very much! percentage we keep up
a correspondence more approximately your post on AOL? I need an expert on this house to solve my problem.
Maybe that’s you! Taking a look ahead to see you.
Wonderful, what a weblog it is! This website provides helpful information to us, keep it up.
Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and
I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
I used to be able to find good information from your
blog posts.
Meiner Meinung nach kauft man bei SEO Agenturen in erster Linie Zeit, Identifikation und Leidenschaft.
Know-How vorausgesetzt. Kein Schwein wird leidenschaftlich und mit
Identifikation an einem Projekt arbeiten, das er nur an 5 Stunden im Monat betreut.
Aus meiner Erfahrung gibt es eine Basis-Identifikation ab ca.
Wohingegen wird die Arbeit an einem Projekt, dass an 5 Tagen oder
mehr in der Woche Agentur- und Schreibtisch-Thema ist sicherlich mit mehr Identifikation laufen. Bei durchschnittlich 100 € Stundensatz ergibt sich ein monatliches Basis-Volumen von 2.000 €.
2 Arbeitstagen. Wir selber arbeiten für gewöhnlich ab 20 Stunden Monats-Budget.
In der Mehrzahl Agenturen arbeiten mit mindestens 3 Monaten Laufzeit,
sodass ein Mindestbudget von 6.000 € für mich die Basis einer Zusammenarbeit darstellt.
Das ist schwer pauschal zu beantworten, da
das natürlich sehr von der Komplexität der Website und des Themas abhängt.
Darunter macht es alle paar Jubeljahre einen Sinn, weil man nichts
richtig ad acta legen kann. Den Einstieg in die Agentur-Zusammenarbeit sollte eine kurze,
kostenlose Ersteinschätzung zum tatsächlichen Bedarf im Zusammenhang der Angebotserstellung sein. Ein SEO-Experte kann nach wenigen Minuten relativ gut einschätzen, wie
sehr z.B. Thema Onpage Optimierung brennt und wie groß der Handlungsbedarf ist.

Wer kurz mit kahl und formlos assoziiert,
liegt also grundfalsch. Und wenn wir schon bei den Klischees sind: Gleichwohl ein Kurzhaarschnitt den Mehr zu sagen haben kann, super praktisch und pflegeleicht zu: Langweilig ist
er deswegen noch lange nicht. Short hair, don’t care! Und dass kurze Haare bei Frauen unglaublich
weiblich und sexy aussehen können, sollte spätestens seit Vorbildern wie
Emma Watson, Lily Collins und Michelle Williams kennen. 9 Sätze, die Frauen mit kurzen Haaren etwas dicke haben!
Es herrscht also keinen Grund mehr, sich nicht an einen Short Cut
zu wagen! Wichtig ist jedoch, dass der Haarschnitt zu dir passt.
Kurze Haare: Steht mir das wirklich? Diese Entscheidung will gut durchdacht sein. Du hast Angst, den Schritt
zum Kurzhaarschnitt bitter zu bereuen? Dann mach jetzt schnell
diesen Test und finde heraus, ob dir kurze Haare stehen! Kurze
Haare: ja oder nein? Und wenn dir unser Test nicht hilft, dann gibt vielleicht die 5-Zentimer-Regel die Antwort!
