Growing up I hated taking family pictures, but continued maturity (and progressive sanctification), have mostly beat that out of me. But it seems that I passed that bad attitude on to Rachael, who was a pain the entire shoot. But alas, we did manage to get some good shots of her, and we all ended up having a good time.

We ate at the Riverwalk Cafe which was a buffet style restaraunt with some pretty good food.  It is a beautiful place to visit, but I would bet is a bit pricey to stay at..

On top of the busyness of the website development, I also had a bit of a health scare.  I was in the hospital twice because of the issue and still have more tests to do before I can put it all behind me.  I have a plan to write a lengthier post about what happened and my thoughts on the issue, but for now I think it’s good enough to say that I am doing well.

The one relaxing and fun thing that I got in over the past few weeks was a visit from my brother Tim (Rachael’s Uncle).  Although beat up from my time in the hospital, I had a great time with him.  I wish I could hang out with him more often, however I think the 1400 miles in between here and CA will continue to prevent that though.  Rachael had a great time with her uncle Tim.  They spent a good amount of time just playing and hanging out.  Rachael loves  him a lot, and as always was really sad to see him go, as was I.  But it was a great time nonetheless.

Here are some pictures from some time we spent at the park when Tim was here…

We had some family over for food, cake, and fun to help Rachael celebrate her 4th birthday  on Saturday.  And not to be confusing, her birthday is actually on the 11th of January, but somehow her party got pushed to this weekend.  It was fun just the same.  Rachael had a great time and behaved very well the whole day.  We ate and laughed and generally had a great time.

I added some photos recently, so take a look…

Isaiah Daniel Wright was born this morning at 7:40am.  He weighed a whopping 10lbs 10oz and is 22” long.  He has very strong lungs, as proved by his strong vocal styling’s.   Other than the fact that he is a boy (and a well-rounded boy at that), he appears to have more of Alina’s features than mine.

Alina was a champ during surgery, and totally preferred the c-section to the natural way that she had Rachael.  She is doing well and doing her best to graduate from ice chips to Jell-O to solid foods without getting herself sick.

We have been very impressed with the staff at Centennial Medical Center in Frisco, TX.  The anesthesiologist was great at prepping and setting expectations and making us feel at ease about the surgery and did a great job making her feel ok, or rather not feel anything at all.  Her doctor really impressed me as well, because (whether correctly or not) I have always held the belief that obstetrician’s were not much more than pre-pediatrician baby catcher’s.  But this doctor was actually the one who did Alina’s surgery, I was very impressed. 

Interestingly enough, the nurse in the nursery was the plaintiff in the trial that I sat on a few weeks back.  We, the jury, did not rule in her favor (or more accurately, did not end up ruling at all), but I recognized her instantly.  If she recognized me she gave no indication and she was very professional and kind.
