Happy Birthday To Me

With Joey's arrival on April 11th, my birthday went by without much fanfare. Unlike my birthday in Chicago a year ago, or the infamous 2006 birthday bash (I still have nightmares), this year's birthday was a simple celebration of family and the appreciation of this new experience called fatherhood. I did however receive a cool gift from Brenda and Scott (Andrea's brother and sister-in-law). I received a Flip Video Ultra. Its a small and simple video camera, that fits in your pocket and takes really good quality videos. With Joey here, I have been meaning to get a camcorder but hated the bulk and all the parts (batteries, tape, bag, etc) that go along with most camcorders. I've seen the Flips before but were not too sure about the quality. But now that I have one, it is the perfect little camcorder for us. I've included a couple of videos that I've shot in low light. Not too bad for the web.

After months of kicking and punching inside Andrea's belly, Joey finally entered the world "butt-first" on Friday, April 11, 2008 at 10:16 AM. In the delivery room, the first words I heard from the doctor's mouth were, "What a cute butt", and the second words were, "Wow... he's big". Both Andrea and Joey are doing well and should be home shortly. Once we get settled, we'll send out more info. In the mean time, enjoy the following pictures. I'll try to upload new pictures on a regular basis. Thanks you all for your well wishes and thoughts.
