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.

Das ist aber wirklich nur in ganzen seltenen Fällen notwendig.
Solar-Bewegungsmelder: Dieser Bewegungsmelder braucht keine
Batterien und lädt sich nur mit Sonnenlicht auf. Hervortreten ihn auch in Kombination mit einer
Solarlampe, wie Testberichte zeigen. Dieser Präsenzmelder nimmt
auch Personen wahr, die sich stillhalten und sitzen. Präsenzmelder:
Hier haben Sie es mit einem sehr hochwertigen Bewegungsmelder zu tun.
Sehr viel genauer werden seinerseits auch Veränderungen bei der Helligkeit wahrgenommen. Wo kann ein Bewegungsmelder montiert werden?
Es kommt immer darauf an, welcher Einsatz für den Bewegungsmelder gedacht ist.
Kommt er nur im Außenbereich zum Einsatz oder soll er auch innen seine
Dienste leisten. Dementsprechend unterschiedlich sind natürlich auch die Montagemöglichkeiten zu beachten. Wenn Sie beispielsweise Ihren Smart Home Bewegungsmelder
montieren möchten, kann dies an der Wand, an der Decke oder
auch in einer Ecke geschehen. Ist Ihr WLAN Bewegungsmelder neben anderen der Fritzbox
verbunden, müssen Sie natürlich auch darauf achten, dass er ein Signal empfängt.
Besonders bei der Montage in Ecken müssen Sie darauf achten, dass der Sensor auch genügend Wahrnehmungsraum hat.

Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?
I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any tips?
Yes! Finally someone writes about http://81jdrc.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=411960.
Hier, in eine der für Mallorca typischen historischen Windmühlen,
haben sich Küchenmeister Dirk Wendt und seine Frau Svenja niedergelassen. In der Moli de Vent haben sie sich das Ziel gesetzt, beste
regionale Zutaten auf kreative Weise zu servieren. Asiatische
Gewürze und exotische Ingredienzien genügend verwendet, lassen traditionelle Gerichte
wie z.B. Braten vom schwarzen Schwein neu erscheinen. Sie bieten einen reizvollen Kontrast zum mediterranen Ambiente der Moli de Vent.
Im Stay in der malerischen Bucht von Puerto Pollensa liebt man die Kombination einheimischer Produkte und Rezepte mit orientalischen Elementen. Zu jeder Tageszeit
kann man dort in den elegant eingerichteten, modern-mediterranen Räumlichkeiten oder auf
der großen Terrasse vorzüglich speisen. Köstlichkeiten aus der Küche
des Mittelmeeres, eine reichhaltige Auswahl an Fisch und Meeresfrüchten und raffinierte Tapas liken der Karte.
Wie eine Kathedrale öffnet sich die riesige Sandsteinhöhle in luftige Höhen. Und
hier drinnen ein Restaurant? Ja! Hier findet sich
das Restaurante Galdent Llucmajor. In den ehemaligen Steinbruch nahe des Puig de Randa hat man kunstvoll eine Küche und einen Gastraum
integriert.
I like the valuable info you provide in your articles.
I will bookmark your blog and check again here regularly.
I am quite sure I will learn many new stuff right here!
Good luck for the next!

news.
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering
if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that
automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have
some experience with something like this. Please let me know
if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
Hi there! Someone in my Myspace group shared this site with us so I came to look it over.
I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers!
Fantastic blog and brilliant style and design.
Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time
choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely
unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
obviously like your web-site however you have to take a look at the spelling
on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with
spelling issues and I in finding it very bothersome to inform the reality
on the other hand I’ll definitely come again again.
Piece of writing writing is also a excitement, if you be familiar with afterward you can write otherwise it is complicated to write.
Saved as a favorite, I love your web site!
Have you ever thought about creating an e-book or guest authoring on other websites?
I have a blog based upon on the same topics you discuss and would really
like to have you share some stories/information. I know my readers would enjoy your work.
If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e mail.
For most recent news you have to pay a visit world-wide-web and on the web I
found this web page as a most excellent web site for newest updates.
Außerdem erreichen Sie neben anderem wirklich die Zielgruppe, die Sie auch erreichen möchten. Denn es bringt
Ihnen nur karg, wenn Sie zwar immensen Traffic generieren, diese Nutzer Ihre Website
aber sofort wieder verlassen, weil er nicht ihre Suchintention erfüllt.
E contrario, mittelfristig ist das sogar schädlich für Ihre Rankings und Ihren Traffic.
Die Keyword Recherche – auf Basis Ihrer Zielgruppeninformationen ist mit der ersten Schritte.
Relevant bedeutet, dass das Keyword deren Zielgruppe genutzt und gesucht
wird. Faktoren wie Suchvolumen können ganz einfach über Tools wie ahrefs, Sistrix, GoogleAds oder als kostenlose Alternative Ubersuggest
recherchiert werden. Zunächst muss ein relevantes und informationsbedürftiges Keyword – oder in sich geschlossen Thema – den Zuschlag erhalten. Auch dafür eignen sich Tools, aber auch Google
selbst. Welche weiteren Schlagworte nutzen die Seiten? Im Anschluss müssen themenverwandte Keywords recherchiert und bewertet werden. Wie lange ist der Text?
Wie ist der Inhalt aufgebaut? Welches Content-Format wird genutzt (Blog, Video, Liste, Shop)?
Die Ergebnisse können in Themen-Clustern zusammengetragen werden. Google ist
ein guter Kanal, ja sogar sogar der Beste, um verwandte Keywords auszufiltern. Im Beitrag müssen diese Themen zur Debatte stehen. Aber scheuen Sie keine neuen Inhalte.
