News Update: The mural is finished!

It took us a week to do but we are very happy with the results of our first mural. The over/under of how long it will take the baby to finger paint across it is currently being set. We are now available for hire for future murals however :-).

Operation Baby Prep is Still Underway

Well this past weekend we finished painting the nursery. Rachel and I have now moved on to the ambitious task of creating a mural for the room. Its a long process but the final result should be what we are trying to achieve. We also bought a camcorder this month to record all those precious moments. So we are definetly nearing the home stretch now: the crib and dresser are ordered so all thats left is some miscellanous items oh and the baby of course :-).

The next Netflix?

Well I finally put some of my money where my mouth is. I bought 10,000 shares of a penny stock yesterday. Gameznflix (GZFX) is the name of the company. Its the only online site that rents out both DVD's and video games. Chances are I'll lose my investment but hey a guy can dream can't he?

Baby's First Photo Shoot!

Last month Rachel and I went to the doctor's office and we saw our new baby for the first time. We're not telling what it is until the big day so don't ask. From this point forward the baby will be referred to as "the kid" or by the unisex name of "Sam". All we are saying is that everything looks normal and that there is only one little bundle of joy in there (phew!). However, based on the measurements taken from the ultrasound the due date was pushed up almost 2 weeks! So now the big day is May 5th, 2006 (that's right Cinco de Mayo baby).
