We took one more trip to San Francisco to try a couple of places and visit and old favorite before the baby comes. We visited Dynamo Donuts & Coffee, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and for lunch we went to Rocco’s…in the video you may need to increase the sound to hear my voice sometimes. Its a work in progress, I am an amatuer at any kind of video making. Enjoy!… READ MORE!
Update to Culinary Mystery!
Remember when I wrote this post with pictures:
Culinary Mystery (you need to read this to understand the rest of the post)
Well after almost 2 years someone wrote in a with a link to the answer! But first I want to ask why Arthur from Sheffield England DID NOT KNOW what it was, when it came from his neck of the woods!
Joe writes this: I have come across one of these and Googled to find out what it is. I can confirm, it’s a double sided fork / skewer for serving steak…Hope this… READ MORE!
New Year & New Crib X2
Yep, thats right…we moved into our new ‘crib’ on the 30th and finished the final touches of hanging pictures in the new place on the 31st. Then on the 1st I came home from work and put together our new crib, which Steph’s parents bought us…we picked it up from JC Penneys.

December News

We went to an ultrasound on Thursday to find out the sex of the baby (or that’s why I went, and to see that all was well and healthy), and it was a boy!

Titus means Giant in the Greek, and Nathaniel means Gift of God in the Hebrew. We will probably call him Ty or Nathan after he is born… READ MORE!
Getting Prepared (in a different way)
Yesterday I was up making coffee in the morning and I realized a lot of things really need to be thought out before this baby arrives. Yes, I know there are diaper choices to think about, strollers, beds/cribs, etcetera…but thats not what I am really talking about.
All you mothers out there, especially the recent ones I want to pool your knowledge for my thoughts and questions, you Dad’s too. So here is my idea & question:
