Peanut Butter Addict

Foytography — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:54:59 +0000

I am so addicted to ground nuts.

I LOVE peanut butter. LOVE IT. So much so that I want my epitaph to read: “I’m going to miss the taste of peanut butter.”

This is my current favorite brand: Parkers Farm, All Natural Crunchy, Honey Roasted Peanut Butter. You can buy it at Whole Foods Market (kinda pricey, but worth every penny!). Do yourself a favor – throw away the Jif.

Yorke – Two Weeks

My niece, Yorke. Two Weeks Old.

She fell asleep as Danialle and I were about to put her PJs on.

Went to visit my new niece and nephew last night. A hellacious bout of Flu kept me away from them for a couple of weeks. I Snapped a few photos of them while I was there.

Adelaide - 20 Weeks

Last Thursday, Danialle and I spent 2 hours in an ultrasound suite watching the tech measure every inch of her. Watching the little critter move (she was a mover) caused me to quietly pick up my jaw from the floor. With my inner voice, I repeated reminded myself that this was really happening. That I wasn’t watching moving images of someone else’s child. This is going to be MY child. So surreal.

The tech burned us a DVD of images and a short video clip. Yay!

Danialle and I in an elevator on our way to the doctor

Danialle feels the little critter moving about in the womb.

Great artwork is on display throughout the entire office.

Danialle introduces herself to the ultrasound robot. Almost time!

High frequency waveforms tickle the baby to reveal its shape.

There she is!

In a last attempt to move the baby into a better position for viewing its heart.

Quick portrait of us during a 5 minute break - waiting for the sugar to kick in.

Reflecting on the amazing news given to us. Awaiting to see the doctor.

Glucose!

Back in the elevater, heading home. What a day. We're having a daughter!

Ten Year Wedding Anniversary

Danialle and I posing during our wedding reception.

Today marks Danialle and I’s 10 year wedding anniversary. We got hitched in front of a country field, with friends and family dressed in costumes, on October 31st, 1998.

Look at my wife’s beautiful smile, it still tickles my heart 10 years later. In case you do not recognized the fellow with her, that’s what I look like 70lbs heavier (not including the sideburns. ha ha!).

Aren’t we like, totally, gothic?

Our dinner celebration was canceled due to the both of us battling the flu. Instead, we curled up in bed and watched some television shows.

Welcome Yorke!

I’m now a proud uncle of a niece. Yorke was born yesterday morning and weighed in at a hefty 5lbs-15oz. She looks A LOT (seriously) like her big brother did when he was born. Danialle and I went to the hospital last night and both of our hearts melted as we took turns holding baby Yorke. Congrats to Lance and Jamie!
