Three generations.


In the Jungle, the mighty Jungle, the lion sleeps tonight...


Mommy's monkey sounds are David's personal favorite.


Mommy's fun!


Mommy's lots of fun!

The NEW ARRIVAL!!!

It is my pleasure to announce the birth of Samuel! Heather's brother Patrick and wife Kassie brought this wonderful thing in to the world on August 24th, 2007.

This picture is the biggest tease you'll ever get. But you must admit...those are some adorable feet!

But if you want more pictures, you'll have to go to SAMUEL'S WEBSITE! I was able to guest-post on it! So click the picture or CLICK HERE and enjoy!

Happy First Birthday David James

Please join us for a video celebration of the first year of our son's life. If you also have time, please leave a comment for us to have for now, and for David to have later in life.

With that said, we urge you to find a friend, kick back, and enjoy watching the memories of a wonderful year go by. Thanks to all for making this first year so fantastic, so beautiful, and so full of love and life.

-Euphdad



UPDATE: Redid the file, improving the audio and video quality a tad, while fixing the two 'blacked-out' pictures.

UPDATES. CRAZY UPDATES.

I have officially made the move to owning webspace (for a small monthly fee). It is easy to use, and quite cheap, so I am quite happy. I have updated most of the things that were affected by this, but I still have some more to go. So, here are some updates!

• THE MAIN PICTURE. It's back. Ooooh. Ahhh.


• SLIDESHOWS. I have gotten rid of the old slideshows off of the main web page, and have given them their very own web page of their own. As new slideshows are put on the main page, old ones will effortlessly slide over to there. You can view this page by clicking the link under the slideshow at the top of the page or by clicking HERE.


• VIDEO. There is a quick-access box to David's videos, and they play right off of the main page. Very cool addition, thanks to those crazy folks at Blogger.

A .one-year celebration thing ..is coming soon, as is the updates to the Friends of David list.

Leave some comments on your thoughts to the updates, and suggestions on what you'd like to see! And check back, because more will be coming soon!

In the Care of the Family

What? It wasn't me!

The move has finally happened. After an insane week of packing, a 17' U-Haul with a 12'x6' trailer, and bus ride back up, and another 14' U-Haul trailing my little Geo Prizm...

After tons of friends helping us out packing a U-Haul from 6PM until midnight...

After filling up our apartment with crap, and then a 10x15 storage unit with more crap...

We have arrived. And now...the unpacking begins. (sob) (whine) Fortunately, Grampa and Grandma have stepped in to help watch David. Additionally, David has all of these cool people to talk to now that he is closer to his family. Happy day!

Aunt Kassie, Uncle Patrick, and Mommy are entertained by David.
Follow-up question (10pts): Which person above just passed her due date?

So we are thankful to be down here, blessed with tons of help to get us out of our old location and into our new location. Additionally, we have people to watch David, which is a huge help. Unfortunately, not everyone can keep up....

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
with visions of colored rings in Grampa's Head.

Vacation: Family Portraits

Our final vacation post will show off all of the wonderful portraits taken during the very hazy morning that we left. Enjoy!

Vacation: 1st Birthday

Woo hoo! Not sure what a birthday is, but everyone else seems excited!

David had his first of many birthday parties on vacation (probably his first of many 'first' birthday parties), and seemed to enjoy himself quite a bit! He opened presents, and played with the wrapping paper! His attention span with the wrapping paper lasted about as long as Wow! A bike!

I'm doing all right, getting good grades. The future's so bright....

Well, I WAS going to try to put that light flame thingie in my mouth, but someone had to blow it out...

And while it seems he understands how to demonstrate the number one, we'll be correcting his choice of fingers soon.

And if, by chance you missed a reference to a pop song, you probably did not go through public school in the 80's.

Vacation: Grandkids

Got Grandkids? My mom and dad do. And they're all right here!

Vacation: The Lake

The newest member of the Lake George Patrol, David James enjoys cruising around, watching out for the law breakers.

Thanks to Barbara and Aunt Karen from cottage 3, and from Brian and Amy (who actually own this raft), David got to cruise around the Lake in a cool raft. Here are a bunch of pictures that I have trouble deciding which is the best (I'm in between the last one and the 3rd from the end). Enjoy!

Vacation: Beach Day

David spent some quality time at the beach, enjoying the waves running up on his feet. He thought the whole thing was so cool that he was practically giggling. He also discovered the wonders of wet sand, and Daddy discovered some new crevices while trying to de-sand him afterwards.




The beach time lasted roughly 10 seconds (about 4 shots), until he decided to crawl towards the water...

Vacation: New Slideshow

We have a new slideshow from vacation all set up and running.

Because the pictures are just so darn nice, I'm including them in this post at the normal desktop background size for background purposes - I know I'll be using them.

Tell me if you like this (large pictures from the slideshows available for backgrounds) and I'll keep this up. And as always...enjoy!
