Skye-7months

What a darling, now if she would only look at the camera sometimes.
Look out mom, that look seems mischievous to me...
Had to get a full body shot
Gotta have a matching scarf and hat in Utah
Yes she is a normal baby, and v2.5 they don't cry as much (at least that was in the release notes)



I was able to snap a bunch more of this lil 7 month old. I am getting nervous she may not like me though. As soon as she sees me she starts to cry. I just can't help it though, when ever this cute little girl is near I just gotta take photos.

Insperation

After checking out Dana's blog I looked at my 4th file and 4th picture. Turns out it was one of my favorites from the big schwin dig this summer.

Winter wonderland pt 2

This is one of my favorite shots to date.


Another favorite from this trip. I have tried getting birds before, not so easy.

Well you can only post 5 pics with blogger so here are the 5 I liked best from Jordan Park way. Scroll down to see the 5 from Wheeler farm I liked.

Winter wonderland

Ice is nifty, even when its melting
This leaf was under some ice and I thought it needed to be photographed.
Its the ever elusive 2 meter gringo, who did not expect to see snow this year. I am glad he called me to take some photos this morning. I had a lot of fun.
I am lucky to have such a spectacular back drop!

My dad gave me a call and asked if I wanted to take some pics today. Light was great, how could I say no. On went the snow pants and the beenie and off we went. First to the Jordan Parkway in Murry, then off to Wheeler farm. All of these were taken at wheeler farm.

When the weather outside is frightful.....

Had to go out and get some shots of the snow today. Here is just a couple but man I am excited.
And my new favorite new model ham it up with a sled.

the party 08

The hostest with the mostest, swampthing. She quite literaly scares you off your feet.
What a remarkable stroke of luck for us. Spare Nipple had a gig in town, good ol' Chester the front man stopped by to show us how the monster of rock pays the bills.
The bride of Frankenstein and her escort.

We had a blast this year at Ben and Thao's party. I know Jessica got tons more photos than I did. I actually got more caught up in the fun than the photos for once. Thank you guys for hosting, and I don't envy the clean up.

reflection

I have pretty much wasted away yet another Sunday, although we did have an extra hour. I got up this morning, walked through the kitchen and noticed a... fragrance we will call it. A month or so ago I would have continued to the basement to be lazy and that would be that. Today however I thought, will this make Kati throw up?

Normally I get up first on our day off. Normally I do not stay out till 2 in the morning having a groovy time at the best Halloween party around. So as I got up walking through the kitchen contemplating fragrances I was also curious as to the level of hunger my lovely wife had. Sure enough as I went downstairs she let me know it would be nice to have some Einsteins.

I brushed my teeth put on enough cloths to be accepted in public, filled the car with gas and got her breakfast. While she ate I cleaned the kitchen and the bathroom. (She also mentioned she wanted a bath.) As she prepared her bath, I prepared myself for a TiVo clearing marathon.

During my TV rampage I thought how much has changed since were expecting. I feel terrible that Kati is so sick all the time. Now I look at things I can do to ease that for her. Keeping her up late last night did not do her any good, although I know she had fun. It's amazing to me how immediate our lives have changed with a baby coming. I get more excited every day. I read others stories of precious moments and am jealous. I see moms making their son take back a toy he tried to sneak out of the store and am terrified.

I know I am going to be a great dad just as sure as I know I am going to mess up. If I really think deep about it, it overwhelms me. How did my parents do it? How did my mom do it alone with two boys for even a couple of years?

Ramblings over, I just wanted to clear some thoughts before bed.
