Now here is an interesting factoid about his birthday, it just so happens to be the same day that the first Atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. AND what was the nickname of that bomb??? Kinda scarry but it was called "Little Boy"…hmm hope he doesnt turn out to be a nuclear scientist…that would be creapy

Here he is in case you missed the large opening picture 

There are alot more pictures in the gallery, go check them out!

This weekend we took our first ever camping trip in the bus…It was great we all had a great time, except Sprout had some issues with elevation and her arthritis. But overall we had a blast. I posted some picture we took while we were there in the gallery, here is a sneak peak.

Here is a pic of the bus on the way down 83 back to Tucson.

And here is Eva enjoying her new perch keeping a look out while we sleep.

Yeah yeah I know its been a while since the last post, I have been busy. BUT for a good reason…

I got my VW running again, and this time she is running very good. In fact it passed AZ emissions testing  with no problems. I am posting up some pictures in my gallery of my VW rust bucket, its ugly and rusty but she is a blast to drive…even Steph has been digging it (easier for a pregnant woman to get in and out of).

I have some plans for her yet to be finalized but I will post to inform you when I do get a plan together.

ALSO I posted some pics of Steph to the gallery to show her "progress" my boy is making her get big…yet I dont think its quite over yet!! hehe

Well it would seem that my own wife Steph who I would imagine "should" know my "signals" seems to not be able to tell my reactions to things. So I decided to make a guide for her, a chart if you will. So Steph here is your handy dandy chart to my emotions:

Normal	Happy
Pissed Off

So I hope this helps, little does she know that I AM excited about things in our life, and if you ask me I show my happiness quite well as illustrated above. So there!

If you cant tell, then give me a million dollars, and then take it from me, you will be sure to see the full range.

Man I hate getting up early, I had to take Steph to a therapist appointment this morning to do paperwork. She is going to help her manage being pregnant so that after the baby is here she wont get so "post-pardom", the insurance kinda "told" her to go.

Anyway my feelings aside on some aspects of psychotherapic, we were sitting in the waiting area of the clinic and it was like entering into a scene of "Girl Interrupted". There was this lady that kept pacing, making strange noises, and breathing really loud, almost like she was holding back a temper-tantrum. She then proceeded to berate the poor lady behind the reception desk about how no one ever see’s her and none of the therapists are on time, and how she is always on time…etc etc. Then she got this strange look on her face almost as if she was going to pop, I was half expecting to enter a scene like in "Faces-of-Death part4" when the pshycopath sticks a screw-driver into a nurses neck, just then her "Doctor" came into the building…defused the second she saw him (it didnt stop the ranting but the pop look stopped). So we go in to do the paper work/interview..etc all was simple and easy, the girl seemed kind surprized on how sane Steph was (or at least thats the impression I got). Then we came back into the waiting room to make another apointment and there were now 2 guys there, one was a little on the strange side, to say the least. The other was talking to a case-manager and was being very rude to her, going on about how the court ordered him there..etc, then it turns out that both of the guys knew each other from past "sessions".

So the stange fellow come up to the other guy and starts to brag about how he was locked up in a mental ward…is this something that you brag about? And how the courts ordered these guys here…etc It felt as if it was some kind of club to be in, I guess they must get along quite well since they both have a bucket of screws loose. Needless to say I was happy to leave that waiting room.

Now my question is this, if these guys are as nuts as they seemed to me why would the court even let them walk the streets. I mean the one guy looked to be right on the verge of punching this poor case-worker. Now I know people have problems..etc but these guys seemed to be walking problems, they just were not right in the head. This kind of worries me, especially with a kid on the way, that these kind of guys walk the streets. I mean if a court ordered them to be there then obviously they did something that required a court to rule on them, doesnt sound very nice to me.

But then again I guess we cant question our judges..and whatever wisdom they may have. I blame the lawyers, anything to make a buck, sending psyhcos on the streets, rapists run free..etc  Man I dislike laywers.

Man what a month February has been, its been so busy I have not had time to make any posts here. I just redid our wifi connection for the office (2mile link) its been hell, but I think I have it worked out now after 2 weeks of trial and error, I will post some new pics of the setup along with a detailed howto so to speak of the setup in case your wondering.

Anywho I got to go with Steph to her first Sonogram, its was interesting to say the least (still in shock that I am going to be a father I guess). So we found out that it is a strong possiblity of a boy, so here are the scans I have right now of him.

When we get more pics I will post them here.

I guess I better get back to it. -out

Yes its been awhile since I posted anything, since it is a new year I guess its time. By the way Happy New Year.

I guess the biggest news for me this year is I found out I will be a father. Scary isnt it.
Steph is now 10 weeks pregnant, so she is in the middle of her "sick" time. its trying to say the least.
She is due sometime in August…so I have time to freak out later..hehe

speaking of freaking out I guess I need to end this post and go freak out.

This is the perfect explanation of this whole christmas problems: (warning contains “language”)
