Emma update

She is growing so much. We are so absolutely blessed to have an
amazing baby. She is so sweet and so loving. Wow!

We are getting ready to have the Apple Butter Festival this week.
Emma really likes the Somewhere over the Rainbow song by IZ. We play
it for so often.

We are still going through 20 diapers a day!

Human Tivo and Parent Brain

Sometimes I wish there was such thing as a HumanTivo. You know
everybody would love it.

You just had one of those conversations with your spouse (or
co-worker), the ones with the words 'yes you did say that' , 'no I
didn't say that'.. How priceless would the Human Tivo be in that
conversation. Just go to the previously archived conversation. Play
it Back! Or someone is talking to fast and you play the slow play
button. Or you are going deaf and instead of asking that person what
they said you just play the jump back button.

Well... we could have used the HumanTivo tonight. I said to Naomi,
"you want to rent a PPV movie tonight" and she said sure. We saw the
'The Prince and Me' on the list. So we decided to rent it. Well 2
minutes and $3.99 later, we remember that we had rented this movie
some one month ago on DVD (which we rarely do). See HumanTivo would
have been great to have at this point. Ahhh... Parent Brain...

Babies are simple

One baby! You know babies are just simple. All they really want is to eat, poop/pee and be entertained. I think in so many ways we need to get back to that in our lives. We need to get to the point where we have simplified. We don't have some many distractions. So many things pulling us away from what is the most important thing.

Braves 13 in a Row baby!!

Can't believe. Noone thought this team was going make it. I remember
watching the games in 1991! Who could forget Sid Bream's slide in to
home. This is a sweet win. There are no superstars really on this
team. All the great pitchers are gone. Just a new team. Check out a
good finally read on the game

What I learned from the Apprentice this week? (week 3)

Hmm.. what I learned this week..

1) Don't put all your eggs in one basket. If you think you are going
to be able to put together a deal to give away 1 million dollars in 24
hours. Also, think that you might need a back up plan

2) Leave yourself plenty of time to move 800 cases of Toothpaste.

3) If you act crazy in front of a lot of people (and you have crazy
hair). They are going to think you are crazy (regardless if you are
crazy). And the Donald. He don't like Crazy!

Emma in pictures

We have gone overboard in a couple of ways i think. Ok I have gone
overboard. I probably take about 20 to 30 pictures of emma a day.

We have an HP 735 Digital Camera and it takes really
amazing shots. I can't tell you how many pictures we have taken to processed.

And I use our Sony DCRTRV22 MiniDV Camcorder to shoot
video footage. So much video footage. I could shoot video of ever movement!

We edit all that on Ulead VideoStudio 8 - Home Movies. It has been lots of fun working on this. I am working a XMAS dvd for everyone!

I can't imagine not living in the digital age where you couldn't
instantly have pictures to share!!
