Danny and Annie. Forever.

This is such a beautiful story. It's also very sad. Gives real special meaning to marriage and "til death do us part". Give it a watch but don't leave those Kleenex too far away.

Aren't hiccups the funniest?

I started hiccuping yesterday and didn't notice for the first couple minutes but each time I hiccuped, my little friend would giggle. Once I started to really pay attention, I couldn't help but notice his belly laugh. I managed to catch my final hiccups on our Flipcam and now I'm sharing with you all. Babies are funny.

At least Will seems to think so. For today.

Sunday with the Kidz.

Recently I went home to Virginia to introduce Baby Will to all his aunties from my high school days. These ladies are all experts in the parenting department and were wonderful to hang around. I caught some video of the madness that ensued as we had a barbecue with all the kids and all the adults. There was so much running and screaming and dancing and awesomeness. It kind of felt like a hurricane, but a fun hurricane filled with little kid sweetness. Enjoy.

10 kids. 8 adults. Chaos ensued.

Declan's Journey.

Recently a story was brought to my attention from a few friends on Facebook about a little boy who recently lost his fight with cancer. He was nearly 1 years old and one half of the twin brothers Cole and Declan. Declan Carmical was diagnosed with cancer with tumors in his brain and kidney a little over 6 months after he and his brother were born. Declan's Journey is a blog that his parents have been keeping throughout his illness and even after he has passed.

Last week was Declan's 1st birthday and as a way to commemorate and celebrate, people all over the world released balloons into the air. Below are some photographs of some of my friends releasing balloons.

Read Declan's story. Donate to his fund. Remember not to take your life for your granted and be thankful for the loved ones around you. It's cliche, but it's real and true. He was such a little fighter even though he was so young. It's a heartbreaking story that his parents are so brave to share with us on their blog.

Movie Review Haiku (俳句): The Book of Eli (2010)

"Book" is the bible.
Denzel has the last copy.
But it is in braille.

Movie Review Haiku (俳句): Inception (2010)

What a good movie,
Dreaming in levels is cool.
It was our first date.

Movie Review Haiku (俳句): Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)

Remake is disgrace,
Perfect for bad movie night™,
Travolta is gold.

Laid back.

This photo was taken by our dear friend Amy Lovelady. We went to see her and her husband, Marc and adorable son, Ryan during our recent trip down south. Little Ryan turns 1 tomorrow and is exactly 7 months older than Baby Will.

Out of Office Post:

Yo. I'm in Virginia, schlepping my baby from here to there. Introducing him to friends and family. It's great and I'll have lots to share when I return. This is the first time we've been away from Pops too. We don't like that part so much.
