A handful of the many photos we took two weeks ago when we were ’snowed in’:
Happy anniversary honey!
You’re the best gift God ever gave me (besides Himself)!

In no particular order, here’s the last batch of my favorite 2009 photos:
OK. Part 3 of the “2009 In Pictures” series.
This is July – September.
Which was the summer…
Which is when we lost our dang minds and started snapping pictures like it was the end of the world apparently drank some funky kool-aid and took WAY too many pictures.
So here’s your warning: There are like 20 pictures here.
Or [...]
Continuing from last week, here are some of my favorite photos from 2009.
I don’t have time to caption everything like a good blogger would, but I’ll bet you can figure out what’s going on.

Stephanie and I have a reputation in our family for taking ridiculous quantities of pictures throughout the year.
I admit, we get a little shutter crazy sometimes. But we love capturing memories, and I like being able to include people in our lives, even though we don’t get to see them every day.
I’m also hopeful that [...]

For the first time in recent memory, this past weekend was actually pretty restful. I had a four-day weekend and we didn’t travel! It seems like any time I get a 3 or 4-day weekend we end up spending 2 of those days on the road, but not this year!
We spent a couple days handing [...]
We took lots and lots of pictures this weekend and eventually I’ll get around to posting some of them.
In the meantime, here’s my desktop for this week:
We recently celebrated Josiah’s first birthday!
I can barely wrap my mind around the fact that our son has been alive for a whole year… I feel like I just found out that I’m going to be a daddy.
Stephanie put SO much work into make Josiah’s birthday super special.’
She picked out all the right party favors [...]
It is *really* hard to believe that a year go today we were at Rex hospital — completely exhausted and trying desperately not to break this little 7 pound, 10 ounce person God added to our family.
Now we have a 22-pound bundle of energy and effervescent joy that loves crawling, eating, and Elmo.
Happy birthday Josiah!

We had a blast sharing Josiah’s first halloween with him this weekend.

The first shot is from Cameron Stadium at Duke University.

Well, we did it.
When Stephanie told me sometime in early April that she was thinking about running a half-marathon this year, I thought she had good intentions, but I figured she probably didn’t realize what was involved.
Then she ran a couple of short runs and her knees were killing her, so I figured it was [...]
It came up fast, but the time has come!
Tomorrow morning, at the crack of dawn, Stephanie and I will be running the Virginia Beach Rock ‘n Roll 1/2 Marathon!
I think we have enough 5-hour energy drinks to carry us are ready.
See you on the other side!
My amazing wife went out of her way to give me one of the best birthdays of my whole life this year.
She spent weeks planning and plotting, and I felt every bit of the love she put into it.
Here are a couple of the pics…
