My friend Philip sent this over.   It is about the High School I went to.   The guy in the video lived down the street from me for a year, so I know him just a bit.  He was crazy back then too.   He actually did a series of Nissan commercials where he lived in his car.  Anyway, Enjoy!

Our baby boy is coming soon.  Middle of March and as soon as the New Year hit Annie and I both have started to feel the pressure.  The realization that this thing is actually going to happen is sinking in (it helps to realize that Annie looks like she ate a bowling ball).

In preparation we have been registering at Target and Babies R Us as well as crib shopping and I have been painting the nursery.  

Also I have been cleaning out closets to make way for the new baby stuff and one of the items to go was all of our big luggage.

The type of luggage we took to Europe three times over the last four years.   You know the luggage for the extended trips.   Well, for the time being that is being put up in the attic and replaced by car seats, toys and all sorts of random baby objects.

Annie and I had a great holiday.  We got to see all of the immediate family for a few days each and hang out.   We saw a few movies, hung out with friends and in general had a grand old time.

Erick, Sara and Ellie ended up staying at our house for over a week because they had a pipe burst and they had to special order a part to fix it.  We aren't use to having at 15 month baby in our house but it worked out alright.

We bought a few things.   Annie let me get a PS3, which I am really liking but haven't had much time to play with yet.   And Annie finally got a water softner which she has been talking about for years.   I think I got the better deal out of the two.

Baby stuff is really getting rolling now.   We registered at Babies R Us and Target over the weekend and have been crib shopping pretty heavily.  I have started on the babies room and will probably start painting it tonight.

This year is going to be really busy, but I think it will be pretty exciting too and I am looking forward...
