It has been a bit hectic lately with design work and getting some big projects wrapped up. I have done a couple fun shoots and have processed them, but haven’t blogged them yet (duh!)…so to tide you all over, I am going to share a family photo with you.

My wife is taking up scuba diving for a trip we have booked next year. I dropped by with the girls at her class at the Dive Shop. Of course i had my camera with me and the girls were ecstatic watching mommy at the bottom of the pool…for about 5 minutes. Then they were bored so we walked around and looked at stuff. They had a really colorful and well-done mural on a wall and we decided to “go swimming” like fish. It was fun! I hope you all enjoy!

By the way, no fish were harmed during the making of this post. 

My new friend, Bobbi, tagged me. This is like the big-kid version of the playground game “Tag” where the slow and weak get tagged and the bigger faster kids get to go on and play! Just kidding, you all!

Ground rules: I tell you eight things about me that you may not have already known, then I tag eight other bloggers.

As is the new tradition…If you comment (and I hope you do!), please tell us one thing people may not know about you!

I am proud to say that I have two new additions to the family! Of course, here are a few photos to chronicle them. I hope you enjoy!

We added a cute little addition to my immediate household. Born May 8th and adopted last week. She is an Australian Shepherd and Golden Lab mix. She was the runt of the litter and is calm and sweet and loving. Her name is Madison (after the President…her brother was Truman and her sister was Kennedy). She is already fitting in with our routine and becoming a permanent fixture in our lives. I only wish the ever talented Erin Vey lived closer so she and Gracie could play!

My sister, Lacey (from a previous post), had her healthy baby girl! 3 hour, natural delivery with no drugs…yeah, she’s super-woman.

In the photos, you see Ruby only 24 hours young, still in the hospital. She is now a week or so old. In one of the photos, you see daddy’s proud hands holding his second daughter. I know exactly how proud he feels right now! Congratulations, Lacey & Danny and Lily!
