Good Bye Mike

Good bye MJ, we will miss your music.

Pictures!

Here’s the latest round of ultrasound pictures from our visit on 6/10.

Its A Boy!

It’s been a while since we updated this, but life has been very hectic. We’ve installed hardwood on our second floor and started preparing a room for the new baby.

Speaking of the baby, we can now start thinking about names in earnest. Why? Because at 9:30 this morning we found out that it should now be he. That’s right, were going to be having a BOY! How exciting. I’m glad that our first will be a boy, I’m not sure I’d be prepared for a daughter right off the bat.

6 weeks

So at six weeks I read that the baby is the size of a Lima bean. This is the week that the nose, mouth and ears are being formed. It is so exciting!

Hello world! We’re pregnant!

Ok so supposedly you’re supposed to wait for like three months to inform the world that you are expecting, but you know what?  That’s just far too long to wait.  So three pregnancy tests later we’re pretty sure :)  By our caculations we’re thinking end of October will be the due date!

Guess it’s time to figure out how to afford a kid now!

Flying on january 15, 2009

So i arrived at the phoenix-skyharbor airport this afternoon around 1:30 for my 3:55 flight. I check in, get my bag checked, pick up a burger from Burger King and then proceed to secueity whixh had an obnoxiously long (35 minutes) line and eventually find my gate.

Cindie calls and informa me that a USAir plane had just gone down in the Hudson river. Just what i wanted to hear!

I’m not normally skittish at all about flying, but today its just a smidge unnerving. Not that I expect any prpblems, but its always in the back of your mind when something like that happens!

A week at DWF

Practically anyone who knows me knows my passion for photography, and my love of photographing people and weddigs in particular.

As I am starting my own business, I decided to go to the Digital Wedding Forum convention 2009. I made my reservations back in April or may and have been active on the forums for a while but still I was a bit nervous. The boards aren’t always kind to either part timers or newbies to the business.

This trip was so totally worth it, I got to meet a lot of new and great people from all over the world - the us, Canada, England, Germany and a bunch more places. The seminars were great, focusing on both the shooting an business aspects. Hearing how very successful photogs carry out their business is invaluable.

The amazing thing is that you can put two extremely successful photogs next to each other and they will completely disagree with each other on half of everything, but just knowing that is worth it’s weight in gold.

Anyways I look forward to a busy and hopefully profitable 2009.

Its been a while

So it’s been a while and oh boy there is just so much to talk about. Now that all of the excitement of the election is over, the excitement has been revolving around all of the layoffs at work (which luckily I’m not a part of either as a casualty or the bearer of bad news) and our upcoming trip to Disney.

Last weekend we took a trip up to Stamford, connecticut and visited some of my old college friends - Meg Beeney and a few others. It’s interesting to see how people change over time when you only see them a few times a year or less.

In some ways people stay the same but in other ways not so much. Though maybe I’m just seeing the world through different eyes?

Its over, baby

Wow what a historic day. At 11:01 CNN projects Barack Obama the first African American president of the united states of America. How far we have come, electing a man of color because he was the best man for the job. Who would have imagined this even five years ago? We Americans are moving forward and should be proud.
