Quick Update

Wow. So, it's been a while since my last post. When I wrote my last post, my wife was very pregnant, but still up and about. We had purchased a crib and baby clothes. We had read volumes about what to expect when our little girl was born. Since then, my wife has given birth to my beautiful daughter, Penelope Madeleine Hepburn. I must say, we make a beautiful baby. haha. I'm kidding. I'm thankful that God has blessed us with Little Penny. She's the BEST. Simply the best.
Obviously I've been super busy, but I've been snapping pictures with my Nikon D40 non stop since she was born a little over three weeks ago on February 17, 2009, which incidentally, is Michael Jordan's birthday. She was also born within walking distance from MJ's statue at the United Center. You can find some of the over 1,200 pictures I've taken since her birth on my Flickr page. I've also posted this video on Vimeo since Youtube stripped the audio from my video due to copyright issues.

I've still got a lot to blog about. New sites, new blogs, new gadgets (including the Vivitar 285hv flash that was used in the picture of Penny in this post). So stay tuned!

KICKING!!!

So.... this morning Darlene, my wife, was still in bed as I was getting ready for work. I was in the living room and she said, "HEY! Come here!"
She had started feeling the baby's first kicks last week and they've been coming more frequently as time progresses. Anyway... when I got to the bed room, she had me put her hand on her stomach. I was absolutely speechless when I felt my daughter kick for the very first time. It was the first interaction I've had with her. She kicked my hand! I felt it!
Here's a pic of my daughter. It's a couple weeks old.
