Remember Glow Worms...?

Our little guy accidentally ate some radioactive waste...No, he has jaundice and the doctor proscribed a BiliBlanket (a light machine with a fiber-optic-weave mat that goes on the baby's body). The top pic was taken with the camera shutter open for a full second, so it is not that bright in real life. The bottom pic shows about how bright it looks in a dimly lit room. Needless to say, we don't need a night-light right now. He shouldn't have to wear this thing much longer, and otherwise he is very healthy.

Baby Pics

Here is Daniel Shephard Dome right after being born, and our beautiful family. Enjoy!

It's a Boy!!

We have a new Baby dome! He was born at 12:12pm today. He weighs 8 lbs 2 oz and is 21 inches long. We are thinking he will be called Daniel Shephard Dome, but we are still debating. I have to run back to the hospital (Shiree has to stay 48 hours) and then we will all come home and I will post some pics.

Dirt to grass

It's nice to see this progress.

Tweetsie is Open again!!

The addiction is back! Please send gas money.

Alex is 3!

We celebrated Alex's birthday over 3 days. Sorry to all you losers who were too lame to make it. We had swingin' friends over (to swing), did Tweetsie Railroad for their opening day, had Grandma Melanie over for a cook-out, and lots more fun. Here are some pics of Alex as a Big 3-year-old!

P.S.- Thanks for all the presents, phone calls, etc. Even to you losers.

"I'm missing a piece of my clothes!"

Alex came into the room and said to Shiree, "I'm missing a piece of my clothes." "Really?" Shiree relpied with mock surprise. "Pants" he replied matter-of-factly. Who knew?

Jenny's Ballet

Jenny danced in the Princess Gala on the 29th of April. She was a pixie in the Snow White act. This is her with her friend Erin (check out the socks in the yellow pic!). She is a great dancer and really loves performing.

Indigo Bunting?

Does anyone know what kind of bird this is? The big pic with a copyright in the lower right is one I got off of the net of an Indigo Bunting; it is the closest I could get to a match. The ones we are seeing here look like blue finches (no such thing). Let me know...
