A few people have asked if we have more pictures of Baby Jude. We currently have two albums up at the photo site, but will be adding a third soon. Jessica has been a fairly prolific picture taker. As I add photos, I’ll put them in new albums to make it easy to know where …

Jude Tours the Factory
A few weeks ago, Jessica took Jude out to her parents’ for the afternoon. While out there, John gave his grandson his first tour of the factory. I think he is eager to get Jude trained on the welder! If the video doesn’t play, try viewing it –>>here
Back Home
We are all back home now. Jude was discharged yesterday morning, and Jessica shortly after. We were home by noon. We’re still trying to figure out a good routine, though we have to take things an hour at a time for now. Both Jessica and Jude are doing well, and at least Jude is sleeping …
More Pictures
After another day, there are quite a few more pictures up at the photo album (click here). I am home to spend the night while Dee (Jessica’s mom) covers for me so I can get some rest. This photo is a pretty good summary of how parenthood has been for the first three days! Jessica …

A Better Website
My apologies for not getting to this sooner, but I have upgraded the software that runs this site, and installed a much nicer theme. There really is no excuse to use the dull, drab default theme that comes with the blog software when there are wonderful themes like this one available on the internet for …
We Interupt this Interuption
I had some trouble with this site. several weeks ago, I upgraded the operating system on the computer that this site is on, or so I thought. It turned out to be a partial upgrade, and some of the software broke, including the database program that stores all of these posts. Since Jessica and I …
Our July 4th Weekend
I am tired!! Jessica and I, along with our parents and my brother, worked hard around the house. Saturday and Sunday we painted the outside of our house. We got the house itself done on Saturday, and worked on the trim and touch-up on Sunday. It really updated the house a lot. The neighbors all …
