So.

We are adding more and more tour dates as the days roll on. I can honestly say, I didn't expect to be touring this much, this successfully. Don't get me wrong, I was excited about the tour, and I was excited about the fans coming out and seeing this new side of us, but I never expected this. This would of been considered..wishful thinking. A whole third leg of the tour is going to be added soon, and we're even considering going to some southern east coast states, because a lot of those fans feel left out. They shouldn't though, because they know that when we can, we would give them all the world. The

New Orleans, LA has been an amazing experience. The way the fans have responded, just makes me want to thank them all personally for understanding how much this tour means to me, to us. I have to admit, I was a bit worried that the fans would react horribly to having Natalie and Ezra within eye sight, but mostly, they haven't been a problem. There have been a few times when I've made Natalie stay at the hotel, and not go out without my dad or someone else with her. Just because you can never be to careful, when it comes to your child, you know? Most of you don't know, but if you do, you'll understand. I haven't had much time to myself, or to anyone else, for that matter. I barely spend any time with Ezra, or Natalie, but when I do get the time, I try and make up for it. This is definitely much harder than I thought it would be.

Not spending every waking moment with my son, because I'm running around doing radio shows, or because I'm rehearsing, or getting ready, or even just signing autographs. I know that Natalie understands, and it's okay with her, but in the back of my mind, I know she's afraid that I'm going to miss out on all of Ezra's firsts. The first time he actually walks across a room, instead of just stumbling aimlessly, grabbing on to anything and everything. I'm afraid I'll miss the first word he says. I know, I know, I have finally now begun to understand his baby mumble, but when he actually says something, I'm really nervous that I am going to miss it. I don't want to miss it. Natalie tells me that it's okay, and that the tour is just as important, but I question that. Yes, the tour is important. Yes, the music is important. And yes, the fans are even more important, because they are what keeps us above the water, they are what makes us able to do what we do today. It's like they supply the air that I breathe. They are just as much of my family as my family is. It's hard to explain it. I don't think anyone can understand exactly what is going on in my mind right now.

All I now, is that tonight, we play in Las Vegas. Alright. I love Las Vegas. It's fast-paced and it's crazy. I think I could use that. I heard Isaac talk about going gambling later, and I think I just might join him. Sounds good, hm? I don't know, I'll have to decide that later.

Where is Paris when I need her?
