Here's JD at 14 months old. He's walking and talking up a storm.

His favorite words right now are "puppy" & "oweee"

It's been a while

Here's a pregnant mamma and soon to be daddy feverishly working on finishing the crib. A big thanks to my buddy John for the use of the tools and the shop. Your "man cave" has been a good second home for me.

Baby Belly

This is a home photo shoot I did. Annie is six plus months along.

Baby on Board

This picture is for the folks.

We had our 20 week ultrasound on Wednesday.

It was amazing...

We saw the baby move around a lot. It was mostly face down and curled up at times, but we were able to see everything that we wanted to.

Perhaps the most amazing thing was being able to see its heart beat in real time.

Here the baby is being shy...or just tired of getting pushed and poked at by the nurse.

I think the baby has Annie's feet. Aren't they cute?

Here's a good side shot where you can see the back.

Here's the last picture we have of the baby. This one's pretty neat because if you look real careful at the head you can make out the ear and a little bit of the profile of the face.

Looks like the baby has its mother's good looks too!

Thanks for all your prayers for the baby and Annie's health. Keep them coming, we're halfway to Birthday!

We're Pregnant!

We're Pregnant!

Here we are moments after the positive test at the end of August '08

As I type it's Oct. 6th and Annie's eleven weeks along. She's been doing very well so far and has avoided morning sickness or any complications.

We are so excited for this miracle that God has done! We are looking forward to welcoming a new Howard into the world around the end of April '09.
