Smiling Michaela



Tomorrow being Michaela's 2 month old birthday, I figured I'd post a few of the photos we got of her smiling at us.


I have found that she is quite ticklish, especially on her feet. She has even sorta laughed a few times, which really just sounds like a baby grunt/coo/snort sound.

Happy Wednesday to all;

"Official Mother's Day Photos"

Due to the fact that Susan and little Michaela were at the children's hospital on the actual Mother's Day, I decided to snap these photos on week later (last Sunday) and post them as the "Official" Mother's Day shots for 2008.

These will most likely end up on my desk, in frames, in the near future-

Before and After...

Here is a photo of Susan, Saturday morning, around 7:15 am or so... Here is another photo of Susan, about 2 hours later....

Beautiful both ways, I'd say-

More cute photos of our kids...




This is what blogs are for, I imagine....

Finally Graduated...

I am now, finally, after 7 years, a former student of the ACU Graduate School of Theology; Listed twice in the program (2 degrees, remember), and I got my own "special" categories to myself. Here's proof that I have finally been "freed":


And here are my official graduation pictures - I am wearing my "Master's Hood" ($30 I'll never see again), my cap from my UNT Graduation (1999), and a Led Zeppelin t-shirt just for good measure. Oh, and that thing I'm holding is my "graduation present", a Fender Deluxe Roadhouse Stratocaster. (My wife is officially the coolest on the planet.) The guitar just came at lunchtime, and I was able to play it a bit - it sounds soooooooo much different than my Les Paul - it will take awhile to get some settings where I want them, but I can already tell it has an incredible 'clean' sound, much brighter, cleaner, and 'punchier' than my Les Paul - which is the major reason I always hoped to get a second guitar - they both do very different sounds very well.

Needless to say I am a little overwhelmed right now -

Mother's Day

Mother's Day saw Michaela and Mommy coming home from the hospital - all of the tests turned out OK, she just had a virus and fever. She is still congested quite a bit, but otherwise everything is good.
We almost didn't get any photos, but I snapped these quickly Sunday night - We had friends over and had a great time. We might get some "official" Mother's Day shots - Susan had to get her hair appointment rescheduled because of the hospital stay (now this Saturday morning) and she is also due a full manicure/petticure. So perhaps after the weekend I will be showing you photos of Susan's "new look."


Hope all is well with everyone,

Hanging out with Big Brother...

Michaela is getting to know her big brother a little better - she was smiling at him the other day!




First Day of May

And I suppose Texans are envious of this...

Michaela one month old

Just a few photos from last week, Tuesday the 22nd, Michaela's first month behind her:

One month old! We are so proud of our little baby girl.
