mommy getting some rest
new holding pen
Brendan got invited to a bday party @ our neighbor’s house.
He was scared at first but eventual mommy was able to get him to go in.
The Irish People in our house….Brendan and Daniel, wanted to wish you a very Happy St. Patrick’s Day. We decided Mommy/Jeni was not allowed in the picture because she wasn’t Irish enough. Kye-Lynn almost made the cut because of her great bandanna, but we decided she too wasn’t quite Irish enough.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day To All, and be sure to check out flickr, I just uploaded bunch of new photo’s including our trip to Magic Kingdom for Rebbecca’s Birthday.
I am not sure why I am proud of this image, but I was.
So life has almost gotten back to normal. And maybe you will start seeing posts with more content in them soon. But for now, you can check out the latest batch of photos, covering everything after thanksgiving, till the present. I also created a new photo slide-show on the home page. I am not really happy with how the page looks now, but it is a step closer to what I think I want to do with that page. So check it out and enjoy if you want a little jot of nostalgia.

Time Flies…
I know the saying is usually “Time flies when you are having fun” but I can safely say, time just flies. It seems like just yesterday I stared my new job at Disney as a Contractor. Well 9 months later, and almost no blog posts, on either my blog or this blog, and I have managed to get a “cast” position, and helped launch a new website. Hopefully things will start to slow down at work now so I can get back into a normal routine.
Enough about me, I am sure you are all much more interested in the little guy, and my beautiful wife. Well for starters you should go to the the flickr photo page, because I have finally given up on tagging and titling all my images, and just uploaded them into photo sets for organization. So there is a whole slew of new images.
Beyond that here is the 9 month recap….
1. I got a new job
2. Jeni became Team leader
3. Brendan started speech therapy
4. Brendan learned how to say “No Daaaaaadddddyyyyyyy!”
5. Daniel learned how not to laugh at “No Daaaaadddddyyyyyyyy!”
6. We dressed Brendan up as Super Mario for Halloween
7. Brendan now has favorite things: Little Einstines, Choo Choos, Imagination Movies, and Mickey Mouse
8. Brendan turned 2
9. Kye-lynn turned 3
10. Kye-lynn got a hot spot on her face
10. Kye-lynn is teaching us that we need to spend more time with her, by running away every chance she gets.
11. Brendan has gone to Disneyworld at least 3 times now, and loves it
12. Daniel got hired full-time
13. Daniel learned what it means to work too much
14. Jeni learned what it means to be a single mother because Daniel was working so much
15. Jeni has a new Baby Sister and a New Mother-in-law
16. Daniel stopped reading his RSS Feeds (need to figure out a better way)
And one that doesn’t belong in a list is the sad one. For those of you who don’t already know this, Our family was tested with the tragedy of a miscarriage. Anyone who has been through this knows what a hard thing this is to accept, but we know there is a reason for everything. Or to put it another way, God knows what he is doing. While this has been emotionally challenging for us to move past, I promise there are still plans to add more rooplets to the family.
So the year is 2009, and it is time to reset our habits. I look forward to seeing things slow down at work, so I can start spending more time at home, and documenting our life on the blog. I hope everyone has had a Great holiday season, and a Happy New Year!
Brendan had a great time today at Sophia’s 1st birthday party. Who would’t he was the only guy baby there.
