Still alive…

So I’m up late working on a small web project and decided I need to take my eyes away from the source code for a few minutes…what better time to blog than 12:45AM on a Wednesday? I know it’s been entirely too long since my last post, but lately I’m of the opinion my time is better spent with my wife and 17-month old angel-of-a-baby-girl.

I thought now might be a good time to begin a series of posts to elaborate on a few of my recently-developed (read new, exciting, confusing, intriguing) interests and happenings.

Among the topics I’ll gradually cover over the next few months, you ask? Here’s a (mild) list:

  • My first foray into the world of investing: “Pffft, what’s the worst that could happen with the market down so much already?” (I said this at the beginning of June, 2008. Feel free to see what the markets did shortly afterward…)
  • My latest revelations during life as a new dad: All the poop and boogers in the world could never take away from my little girl’s infectious laugh…
  • The newest developments with our lovely home…I know; who’d think we could keep it up for another year, right?
  • Everyday awkward moments…I’m debating registering a particular URL to give this topic its own place under the sun. I know, I know, there are plenty of sites loaded with wonderfully-awkward material, but I’m not sure I know anyone who can get enough. There are too many awesomely, horrifically, heart-breakingly awkward stories to be told to let them go to waste.

That’s enough for now. I promise to come back soon to elaborate.

Laughing like crazy…

My goodness how they grow…

In just a few short months, we’ve gone from looking at ultrasound images to this:

Baby pictures!

I’m sure I’ve got a diaper to change so I’ll make this quick…

Our little girl was born December 27th, 2007, and weighed in at 6lbs 6oz.

I tossed some pics up here, so take a peek!

Update, 2-1-08: I uploaded more pictures…same link!

Update #2, 3-3-08: I uploaded even more pictures…still the same link!

Update, 3-30-08: I finally grew tired of dealing with the sluggish behemoth that is Gallery, so I switched to the sprightly ZenPhoto. As a result, the baby pictures are now here.

4D Ultrasound at 31 weeks, 2 days…

Just two months to go! She currently weighs in at (roughly) three pounds, seven ounces…just a tad bigger than she was the last time you saw her. Here are a few images from the 4D ultrasound yesterday (and perhaps it’s just a proud dad talking here, but isn’t she absolutely beautiful?): 4D Ultrasound small

Harrison grew up!

Well, at least physically…and we think he’s got a lot more growing to do.

You might remember little Harrison from my earlier post, “New Kitten”, but it’s been almost a year since then so I figured you might want to see what he looks like now…
