PadThai got a new name when he entered the world outside the womb. . .we introduce Keenan Charles Ulrich, born at 4:58 a.m. on January 21st, 2008. He surprised us all when he chose to make his big debut three weeks earlier than his due date, tipping the scales at 6 pounds, 12 ounces and measuring 19 inches long.

He's our lil' bundle of perfection, and we'll share him with our friends and family through this web site.

Holiday Wrap-Up

Okay, Dad here making a post. We need to cover a lot of ground, so we'll start with some rejects during the many attempts to get a Christmas Card picture.




Playing with Santa Potato Head, with the Busy Zoo in the background.



After bathtime, drying off in the puppy dog towel (doggy tail and feet not shown)



Looking pudgy next to his favorite cause and effect toy, the corkscrew. Mom and Dad just wish there were a volume switch. The corkscrew also doubles as a walker, which he can push all around the room.




Rolling around with the cousins at Aunt Kristin and Uncle Dave's house.



Checking out a snow globe with Grammy.


Successfully playing a few new chords without any help.



Playing the right hand melody of Christmas carols with Dad.



A small sampling of the musical treat I gave to everyone in the house. I typically held concerts during Pop's afternoon nap.




Daphne savors the different terrain, critters, soil and generally smell-licious neighborhood of her grandparents. It takes several days of walking until the novelty wears off.





Hanging out in my Christmas jammies. In the background is the coffee table which Mom and Uncle Mark first toddled around when they were munchkins.




The whole family posing before checking out what Santa brought on Christmas morning.





Squeezing into a doll chair that Mom used to play with.





Taking in the view of the Intracoastal Waterway after lunch at the marina.





Grammy savoring her croquet victory. Pop congratulating the winner.

That's all for now! We'll try to update more frequently...especially after the upcoming 1st birthday party extravaganza.
