I would love some input on this from you fellow developers out there, as this is something I continue to try and improve on… WARNING, CODE BELOW THE BREAK!

Month 3 Photos
For this month’s shoot I pulled out the blue backdrop Ana and I made. Worked well!

Point Two Five
Happy 0.25, David!

He’s all dressed for his paintball party this afternoon. I just need to round up his friends and make sure they’re free. Max??

Proof Of Legs
In an effort to stop the conspiracy theorists, I present Proof of Legs.
No worries, no harm was done to David in the making. Although rolling around in the dirt was fun!

Hey Aunt Maria…

I like the clothes!

Coffee.
I ran out this morning. And you know who I blame it on? Justin Long. A few weeks ago he came over and had coffee before heading to work. Without that visit I would have had a full dose this morning. But instead, I now have 1/3 of a dose.
Thanks Justin.

Blanket
A couple weeks ago Ana made David a few more blankets since the previous batch were now getting a little small to wrap him up. I helped pick out some of the fabric, as you can see in the photo here 🙂

Unsolicited Delivery
Fedex stopped by my house this morning and dropped off 2 very large boxes and 2 small but heavy boxes, all with my name and address on them. Hmmm, I didn’t order anything….
I opened them up and discovered two 3000VA, rack-mountable battery backups along with 110lbs of batteries for them. Neat!
I called up the company, which I had purchased from almost a year to the day, and let them know that someone was probably missing a shipment. They thanked me and let me know that it was destined for an Eric Johnson in Utah. Kinda scary their shipping system just matched on name, I wonder who else is getting free toys but not telling anyone about them?
I had to drag the boxes back out to my porch, Fedex is supposed to be by to pick them back up. They had better be quick or they’ll be covered in snow.

“Dad… help…”

He was having fun, we swear!

Spring Preview
Today Central Illinois took a break from the regularly schedule winter to enjoy an absolutely beautiful 70 degree day. Actually I don’t know how warm it ended up really getting, my car thermometer read 70 at one point though, and as I write this at 10pm I have my office window open and the computer is telling me that it’s 60 degrees.
Ana and I even got to take David on his first stroller ride around the neighborhood it was so nice out. He loved it until some sun got in his eyes. He sure doesn’t like that. We capped off the day sharing a great meal of grilled steak, potatoes, salad, and brownies(!) with Jay and Katherine.
March 2nd, 70 degrees, baseball on the radio, steak dinner, & friends. If that doesn’t lift your spirits and make you smile, check your pulse!
Don’t get too overjoyed, however. Winter returns tomorrow with snow expected. Pfft.
