I just leveled up my uncle character!  Luke Andrew Miller was born Sunday night (Oct. 19th) at 9:39 PM.  6 lbs. 13 ounces, 19 inches.

I had originally planned my trip to visit my brother Andrew to be well before Luke was due, but he was so excited to see me that he had to come early :).  It was so great that I was able to help Andrew and Sara out while I was there.  I got alot of play time in with my nephew Landon, who I haven’t gotten to see hardly at all since we moved to Seattle and they moved to Midland.  While Andrew and Sara went to the hospital, I watched Landon and we had a great time.

Hanging out with Andrew was also a blast.  We play Halo together all the time, but it’s just alot more fun to hang out in person.  We didn’t have much of an agenda, just hanging out and inventing weird games to play.  He also introduced me to some new kid’s shows that I think Jenna will enjoy.  WordWorld is awesome.  I got Jenna the cat, which you can take apart into the the letters C, A, and T.  She LOVES it.

I also got to eat a bunch of food that isn’t available where I live:

• Chick-fil-a – I had chicken minis for breakfast when I arrived, and we ate there again later and I had 2 sandwiched, and some nuggets.  Delicious.
• Blue Bell Ice Cream – I really don’t know how they make it so good.  It is far and above better than any other ice cream available in Seattle.
• Sonic – I usually opt for a flurry, but I had already eaten a ton of Blue Bell, so I got a vanilla coke (a coke with vanilla added, not the Vanilla Coke that coke makes).
• Mexican Food – Sure, there are a bunch of Mexican food places here in the Seattle area, but they pale in comparison to what’s available in Texas (especially Midland).  I had chicken fajita soft tacos and sopaipillas from Rosa’s.

There simply weren’t enough meals to hit everything I wanted.  I missed out on Whataburger and On the Border (more Mexican Food).

You can check out my Flickr set, which is a ton of pictures of Landon, and a few of Luke at 5:00am when I got to meet him before flying out.
