Hello Lent….. Goodbye Social Nets?
So I meant to post this on Wednesday but I just never got around to it. Last year I was really inspired by my friend Brian and the way he gave up facebook for lent. While that seems like a simple thing but social nets seem to work their way into your everyday life where they become a constant distraction to what you should be focusing on. So this year for lent I have decided to give up all the social networks that I regularly participate in. The only exception I have granted myself is posting pics either through picasa or flickr. So all apologies if you send me a message and I don’t respond please don’t take it personally.
The Welcome Back
So this was my first week back to work since Sophie was born and as tradition would have it my awesome coworkers decorated the front of my office. They covered the entire front of the office with cardboard and construction paper and then signed them. Since I will probably lose the individual sheets I decided to put them into a movie.
thanks again everyone who helped! you guys are the best!!!
Two Weeks In
In 7 hours we will have had two kids for two weeks. So far it has been amazing! sure there have been a couple of long nights (plenty more to come I am sure), several days on the uv light, and a couple trips to the doctors office but overall we are no worse for the wear and everyone is doing well.
Jack has been battling a cold the past few days but he is getting better slowly. He was of course sick during the snow on Friday which means we didn’t get to go out and play in it at all which was a bummer. He has been great with Sophie, he is still learning how to act around her but overall he is doing great.
Well I am gonna head off to check on sophie.
Sophia Grace
Well today was the big day, Sophia came into this world at 7:30 this morning and weighed in at 7lbs 13oz and was 20in long. So far so good she is eating well and is doing the normal stuff…. mostly eating and sleeping. Well below are some of the pics from today I will keep tweeting and posting pics so keep coming back….
Another Big Day!!!!
[A Note From Kevin] this was the post that I used to keep friends and family updated of what was happening during the birth of Sophia I used a live feed from twitter to do it but I have since locked saved just the important updates to this thread.
Well here we are…. the day is finally here and Sophie will be here in what is just a matter of hours now. I will try my best to keep everyone in the know of what is going on so just keep checking the site to see what is happening. Pictures should start rolling in over on the right side of the page.

what the what?!?!
Seriously what the heck happened to the last NINE MONTHS?!?!?! Sophie will be here on MONDAY!!!!!! I have no idea what happened to the time…. it seems like yesterday Tiph wrote on my side of the mirror that we were going to have another kid. We have Sophie’s room all ready to go and all her other stuff is pretty much settled. We are planning on having a big weekend with Jack, today we are going to the McWane Center and then tomorrow we are heading to the Circus.
Everyone always says that the second kid doesn’t get the same attention as the first. I don’t know that I am any less excited but I have definitely neglected her tech wise. I mean Jack had his own blog for a while and every sonogram pic and detail was posted. Sadly I didn’t do any of that for Sophie, hopefully she won’t grow up to hate me. I have revamped the site a bit for her arrival and I am going to live blog the whole thing and post pics asap (much easier since I have a camera phone this time around). I have everything posting to facebook and twitter so I am sure I will be annoying a lot of people who don’t care but then again there will people who will and that makes it worth while. Also with Jack it really gave a great recap of the entire process.
Well keep checking in……. this is going to be fun!
Watching the world go bye
As if I needed reminding
Hard at work!
Snuggies!!
