Teagan's Blessing

We have now 'officially' welcomed Teagan to our family. What a special day we had with everyone that attended not only the blessing, but also the fun time we had afterwards. Teagan looked like a cute little baker, and the rest of the family put on their Sunday best. Thank you for the warm wishes, the wonderful memories that we will cherish, and the great food that was provided!

Work in progress

Well here we go, I've got an entire week to spend working on pictures of the boys playing with different 'looks'. Here is some of my WIP.

Baby Teagan

Simple black and white option

A subtle color with piercing eyes

And a little more 'hand painted' look

Big Bro Tony

A fun head-shot

Working with a Vignette

And a combined picture

I'm not so sure that the size of the floating head really works!

Proud parent moment

Your children tend to pretend that they are never listening. You may have to ask several time for something as simple as picking up an article of clothing from the floor. But when you child actually displays a value that you've tried to instill in them, it truly is a PPM (Proud Parent Moment).
Last Saturday we had dinner with my good friend Rob. Their family just welcomed their baby Vesta (born 1 week after Teagan) and have a two year old big brother, Avarum. We had a wonderful time, when it came time to eat dinner Tony asked the simple question "Rob, could you please offer the pray-er" (he has a fun way of saying prayer with a very small pause). A simple request but I beamed, not only was he being considerate of the prayer, but he was also using a grown person's vocabulary, and taking a leadership role. What a moment, my little man actually listens, and not only listens in passing he places the vocabulary of a well rounded individual.
Man I love these moments!

Funny workplace telephone call

A fun little moment that makes you realize that parenthood is quite rewarding regardless of when the moment occurs.
Well, when you get a telephone call from your wife and you don't answer, she will tend to leave a voice mail if it is something that can wait. If she shows up on your caller ID twice in consecutive order, you tend to worry. As I answered the second call, quite worried and excusing myself from a meeting with a customer, I simply answered "Hello"! With a meek, quiet and jovial tone a voice came back "It's me daddy". I said hello once again, and the little voice said "Hello daddy it's me Booger Nose!" (the name that is used often when Tony is sick).
As Tony proceeded to tell me all about his school day he ran to tell Amber that he had called dad and became uninterested in his prior conversation.
