Geez, more baby pictures

My good buddy Andrew Rozell and his lovely wife Heather Rozell came over to take some pictures of Evan for us. Andrew even went and rented a really high quality lens to use (I didn't know you could rent lenses either). They went to a lot of trouble and took some brilliant photos. I'll tease everybody with a couple of the ones he has sent me so far. I'll also take this opportunity to thank them again and remind them of what great friends they have been to us. It rare that you find people in the world that you get along with so well and you are so comfortable around and we have that. We consider ourselves very lucky.

My favorite picture of Sarah

I was just looking through some old pictures and came across my favorite picture of all time. Sometimes its hard to explain why you love a picture so much, i think certain pictures elicit certain brain responses to different people. This picture was taken in the Coca Cola factory in Atlanta, GA. This is in the room called "The World of Coke" or something like that. You get to taste Coke products from all over the world. Some were pretty good, most were repulsive. Anyway, I remember this fondly and thought I would share.

The baby has arrived

Its been a while since I have updated this here blog but as you can imagine I have been a little busy. Evan Michael Southward decided to join us in this world on September 4th 2008 (he wanted to share a birthday with his dad) at 10:51 pm via C-Section. Mommy tried her heart out for 17 hours but he was just too big, weighing in at 10 pounds 4 1/2 ounces and 21 1/2 inches long. I'm so proud of mom and baby and I am so happy to bring him into a family that already loves him so much. Here are some pictures of the little bruiser.
