My cousin Scott and his wife Lisa just had their first baby on Friday, and he’s a cutie! Just looking at the photos makes me want to have another little baby! Oh, wait… got that covered already.
Here are a few early photos from my very proud Aunt Darlene (and Grandma). More photos will be posted on Scott and Lisa’s FaceBook pages over the next few days.
Overall it’s been a great week. Long days, but the videos are looking good and well received.
Here are a few photos from this week, and you can find more on SmugMug.
Went for a walk this morning. The weather has been great.
Great little Breakfast Diner.
We had a great Japanese dinner on Wednesday night.
And, a little video from the event. Not all that interesting, but I was playing around with the camera to get some practice. It’s not the easiest thing to take video with.

This past weekend we did an iChat session with the twins and Grandma and Grandpa back in Michigan. The boys seemed to love and and we’re going to try and do it every few weeks from now on. That way the boys won’t yell “Stranger Danger” the next time they go to Michigan.

2001 Drivers License – In shape, at ideal weight.
2009 Drivers License – Face is now fat and round, and I’m 35 lbs. over weight (I misreported my actual weight this year, but don’t feel guilty about it)!
I’m not one to celebrate my Birthday. In fact since my late 30’s it has become a day I really don’t look forward to anymore. Why celebrate that I’m even older then the year before? It’s not like I’m trying to be of legal driving age, drink or get into strip clubs in Windsor Canada (I’ve heard some guys do that). I can rent a car without a cosigner, vote, buy liquor without being carded and represent myself in a court of law should I chose to do so.
SO… what exactly am I to celebrate?
In recent years I have become more attuned to my age, and at one point last year I woke up in the middle of the night freaked out by the realization that most likely, I’ve already lived more then half of my life. Up until that moment I had always thought “Ahhh, I have my whole life in front of me”, and suddenly I realize that a good chunk of my life is now behind me! How did that happen?!
I’m not really as bothered about my age as this post may have you believe. I’ve made peace with it for the most part. But the subject does bring me to a great book I’m currently reading. It just made sense to share it on the celebration of my 15,330th day of life on this earth. The books is called “Younger Next Year”.
