Samuel-1 Dad-0

Well, I was feeling pretty good about my diaper changing skills because I've changed several per day now without getting any pee or poop on me. Well, today I was changing a diaper and got a little poop on my hand when I was using a wipe and when I was cleaning my hand off Samuel proceeded to pee on my chest. He got me good.

Here's our birth announcement that a friend made for us:



  • johnandleah

    by lynny at 05/19/09 7:58AM
  • jra
    Oh dear...he ~did~ get you good. Go Sam!

    Just so you know, I love you dearly, but I'm on his side from here on out. :)

    And I love the announcements! When do I get one for my fridge?
    by jra at 05/19/09 9:52AM
  • DessertDiva
    Ha, what a sweet, sweet picture! Sorry you got peed on - probably not the last time that happens! :)

  • kristiegore

  • mjintexas
    Hahaha! Well... guess you have been initiated.
    I like the birth announcement! He was the exact same size I was.

  • em
    The announcement picture was taken by Janet Kaye photography. There should be some additional photos of him on her website janetkaye.com

  • mel_ody
    So so cute! It even looks like he's smiling! Sounds like you need to pick up some 'pee pee teepees' - they really exist for little boys! :)
    by mel_ody at 05/19/09 3:13PM
  • shadders05
    I love it! I love that cute litte guy! What a blessing you guys have! Hugs! Reminds me of Noah -- well maybe not since he was 9 lbs 5 oz! :)

Today, I was listening to music the cheap way (YouTube) and thought I'd share a quick thought on Dylan. Whether you love or hate his sound, I think it's hard to argue he isn't one of the top 5-10 song writers of the 20th century.

Here are a few of my personal favorites:

Don't Think Twice, It's AlrightBlowin' in the WindMake You Feel My LoveForever YoungMr. Tambourine Man

  • bor
    He is my favorite, I think he has a lot of soul. Add All Along the Watchtower to the list.
    by bor at 07/27/08 11:22PM
  • justg
    He reintroduced me after a lot of years...thanking him.
    by justg at 08/09/08 4:05PM
  • nacmacfeegle
    a great songwriter. I agree his voiceisn't wonderful, but it is also hard to argue that he isn't one of the most influencial singer songwriters of the 20th century. just look at the number of his songs that has been covered multiple times.
    by nacmacfeegle at 08/09/08 9:20PM
  • em
    Hey babe!
    by em at 08/16/08 4:00PM
  • tramellite
    Hey Daniel! Good old You Tube...and now you have an iphone to enjoy! At least vicariously through Emily. :) I have always enjoyed BD's voice and I'm gonna take it a step further by saying I also enjoy his son..even though I don't think they are around anymore.. Tell Cleo I said hello! :)
    by tramellite at 08/19/08 2:12PM
  • lefantstaf
    i LOVE his voice.
    and i would put him in the top 5 songwriters, no doubt. along with elvis costello and paul simon.
    by lefantstaf at 08/20/08 8:33AM
  • em
    Happy B day Love!
    by em at 09/09/08 8:42PM
  • fredgore
    I'm late to this, but in agreement... I'd put 'Tangled Up in Blue' among my favorites.
    by fredgore at 09/09/08 11:35PM
  • kristiegore
    Does she enjoy it? I think I'd like something like that, I'll have to look into it...thanks:)

    No, we've never really watched deal or no deal, we've seen it once or twice and didn't love it. How have you been and how are you liking being a pathologist?
    by kristiegore at 10/22/08 11:14PM
  • DessertDiva
    Well congratulations to you and your wife, too!!! So exciting!!
