Den Of The Danimal

I’ve been eagerly looking for a good opportunity to take Janet to go see Avatar ever since the film opened a month ago. It’s a little tricky to manage since Janet works during the day, and I’m either working or otherwise busy several nights a week, and we have these two darling little girls that [...]

Okay, I know that Thanksgiving was over a week ago. We were spending time with family and I never got around to creating a new post. But the girls are so cute I wanted to share. Plus we have so much to be thankful for! It was one year ago that we shared with you [...]

Carolyn and Elizabeth will be 4 months old tomorrow, and they’re still doing really well. They probably weigh about 11.5 pounds now, so they’re quickly closing in on tripling their birth weight. Janet and I are hanging in there… She’s back to work full time, and it has been a little hard readjusting to that. [...]

I’ve decided that I will occasionally attempt to write up some fun or significant memories from my life. Most blog entries revolve around current events, but there are always some old stories that are worth retelling. Hopefully these will be fun or informative for other people to read.

Today was a very special day. For starters, Janet and I are celebrating 14 years of marriage today! Janet is a truly amazing woman; I respect her, I admire her, I love her. I am so very thankful for her! Every year when our anniversary comes up, we make a point to sit down and repeat the [...]

Saturday was an extremely full day, with a birthday party appearance, a friend’s wedding, and Janet’s visit to see Carolyn at the hospital. So on Sunday, we very deliberately skipped church in order to get a bit more sleep (although we weren’t really able to sleep in, since we were both up regularly throughout the [...]

As a new father with two little baby girls who have now spent just over four weeks in the hospital, I have really begun to appreciate our health insurance for the first time. We just recently got the hospital bill for Janet’s delivery, and it’s around $35,000. Evidently the doctors’ bills will come separately, and [...]

Somewhere along the way, I realized that I just wasn’t maintaining or developing my old website at all. Part of the reason is that I just never really worked very hard to learn how to design decent-looking HTML. Plus, the FTP interface I had to work with was kind of a hassle. When blogs really [...]
