My wonderful wife has decided to enter the blogoshpere. She is still trying to get everything on her blog to be just right and then she is going to start posting. She will be far more consistent than I have been (I'm trying... honestly). Check her out sometime... I do.

I have been pretty lame when it comes to posting. I rather enjoy snooping around the blogosphere, looking at the lives of the Vegas Bloggercon Gang and others. Some have moved on, apparently getting bored of daily entries into their web log. As for myself, I would like to say that I have been too busy with a house, a job and two wonderful boys, but that's not entirely true. It seems as though, by the end of the day, I want to do absolutely nothing. It isn't a lack of energy. It seems like my brain just wants to hibernate and not perform anything more than menial tasks ("Yes Dane, that's Drake nose.").

Two weeks ago, I started running again in the mornings. This week, I ran my usual 5k four times. It has been making a little bit of difference. It seems like I should feel more tired with more activity and less sleep, but I don't. I'm also trying to eat better (being at work doesn't help... junk food everywhere). Maybe by Spring I can look like my avatar again.

On to Dane:

I don't know that I can describe the deep bond that I have with Dane, but I'll try. Everyday I love him a little more (if that's possible). I see him as a little me with a world full of potential. I watch him and his reactions to things and it's like I can tell you what he's thinking. Everyday I go to work I want to take Dane with me. I love walking around in a store with him, holding his hand as he tells me about the things he sees. On Wednesday, when I went to work, he kissed and hugged me and said, "be careful." It just about made me cry!

I have a deep bond with Drake too, only it's different right now. He's an infant that, although is interactive, just isn't as much as Dane. I'm sure as Drake gets older, we will also have that same bond.

That's about it for now. Not a lot of useful information, but maybe snapshot of where I am emotionally.

No... really... I have a picture to prove it.










See!!!
