I just wanted to find a convenient place where we could upload pictures, videos and notes to keep family and friends updated with some of the various events in our life. I didn't want you to have to set up an account or be required to log in just to see whats going on. So this seemed like a pretty easy way to go.
The address of our little website is http://babygirlandboo.blogspot.com
"Baby Girl" obviously refers to Ella as that has been our term of endearment for her since day one, and "Boo" is for our newest addition, Grant.
So why the nickname Boo you ask? I'm not sure why it has stuck as long as it has, but it is definitely sticking. Denise first called him BooBoo. Not boo like we're trying to scare him and not boo boo like this was a mistake (that is absolutely not the case, especially if knew how long it took for him to finally arrive), but maybe Boo Boo like Yogi and BooBoo, because he was just so cute. Then it got shortened to just Boo and that's what we lovingly call him most of the time now. Just like his big sister, he's been a blessing to us even before he took his first breath...
Born on 11.25.2008 he's now closing in on 3 months old already. Here's a flashback to the day of his birth...
Well, all things considered, this blogging thing isn't so difficult (due in large part to some very talented computer programmers that make it nearly impossible for me to mess it up, and very little to do with any of my talents).
Here's a few older picutres...

And here are some more recent ones...

And a couple of very short videos too.
Well, that's about all I'm good for tonight. Hope you enjoyed this first post and got to catch up with a few pictures of Ella and got to know Grant a little better too. We're very blessed to have these two little ones and we'll surely have many more updates in the future.
Uncle Kenny! .. nice choice of music for the first video.. talking about chain smoking and laying naked underneath the covers haha jessh ... i absolutely love the videos and picture though!!! i laughed and constantly smiled throughout all of them.. it's nice to see them when im here at school:) Love and miss you guys!! <3 ---- Melissa
ReplyDeleteThanks for catching that Melissa. Nice song overall with a catchy refrain, but as you suggested a few references in there were not quite fitting for the subject matter. So, I've changed to a different song (and actually listened to it a bit more carefully this time). Hope you like this one.
ReplyDeleteHey Ken! It always amazes me that I would inspire anyone to do anything!!! It also surprises me who is actually reading! I am so excited to be able to keep up with your beautiful family....Great first post! Say hi to all for me!

Hey Kenny, it's your cousin Chris hanging out down here in Michigan. Happy to see all those smiling faces!! Your mom and dad were here recently and it was fun to be able to visit with them. It was always good times when you and Joyce were in town, too.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Chris
Nice to hear from your Chris. Thanks so much for leaving a comment. I've been surprised by the hit counter at just how many people have checked out the site, but even more surprised by the number (or lack thereof) of people who leave a comment. I think I need get get a reminder note somewhere on the page about how to leave a comment!! Anyway, hope all is well with you and yours and I hope to get some new stuff posted soon. Ken
ReplyDeleteHi! Auntie says you need to get some more updated pictures. I'm sure, especially Grant is changing daily. Love you guys.
ReplyDeleteI know, I know.... Who says a blog has to be a regularly updated thing? I had much better intentions, but I think I'm on the monthly update program. I do have some photos sorted and ready for posting...before the end of the week for sure! Thanks for leaving a comment--we like those....
ReplyDeleteGreat. Can't wait to see them! And yes, I do know that you are extremely busy. :)
ReplyDeleteI look at your blog weekly to see how much baby Grant and Miss Ella are changing. I also share it with everyone at Methodist L&D.
