Screaming at the Baptism
We returned to the “scene of the crime” (ie where we got married) this past weekend for Helena’s baptism. She decided to announce herself screaming while she joined the ranks of the Catholic Church. I can’t say I heard anything the Priest said during the ceremony but we somehow made it through. Helena met the…
Read MoreThe Rest of the Myrtle Beach Photos
This is just a quick post to let my “loyal followers” of which there are few, that we uploaded the rest of the photos from vacation. Myrtle Beach – Part 3 Helena has kept us busy the last couple days with a lovely (NOT) virus called Hand, Foot, & Mouth Disaease. The symptoms include rash…
Read MoreMyrtle Beach Update
We are having a good time on our vacation down here in Myrtle Beach. Helena is not overly impressed with the ocean and has no desire to get her feet wet, but that hasn’t stopped dad from trying. We toured some gardens yesterday that were absolutely beautiful. They were about an hour away and it…
Read MoreGoodbye Month 8, It was nice to know ye.
And a happy hello to month 9. Wow, I can’t even believe it. 8 months may not seem like much and I’m sure I’ll be even more amazed when 8 years has come and gone so quickly, but it’s still hard to believe. She is growing up so fast I can barely stand it. She…
Read MoreOut To The Coast
After having a little spat with cabin fever we decided we needed to get out of the house. The destination was the ocean. Helena’s first trip since about 3 weeks old. She had a great time and seemed very impressed with the ocean this time (don’t think she even opened her eyes last time). But…
Read MoreSurgery Beginning
Helena just went in for her ear tube surgery. We handed her off to the nurse a couple minutes ago. Hopefully, it won’t take longer than half an hour. More later.

Helena is getting so much bigger. She’s almost 14 pounds and 24 inches long. We can’t wait for the official weigh in a week or so from now. We’ll be putting some more pics on SmugMug in the not too distant future, but I wanted to post a couple rare and (in my opinion) cute…
Read MoreMore Baby Girl Pics
People have been very demanding regarding pictures. It’s not easy to find the time with a little one in the house so we took advantage of a visit from the grandparents to post these pictures. Same password as before. 1st Month Pics

Read MoreOn To Month Six
Reality is definitely setting in as we enter the sixth month. Those nine months are more important for the parents-to-be than for the baby, at least I think. You get little moments along the way that each serve to reinforce the idea in your brain that, ‘yes, we are going to be parents’. First it…
