The Winter has come but Eloise warms our hearts!

I was singing when I invented this chintzy title. 'Hearts' was sung with a very high C if you want to give it a try. I actually have had a very tuneful evening as I've been pacing around the house singing every Christmas carol I know (which is a lot) to stop Eloise from crying. It's not so much soothing for her, as confusing, but her incredulity at my absurd behavior stuns her into silence.

Ok, enough silliness. I won't pretend that what I have to say is of any interest, as a new parent I know that the only thing anyone is interested in is the baby. Most conversations with others go like this, 'Horray, Eloise is here!', 'How's Eloise?', 'Any new pictures of Eloise?', and 'When's Eloise coming to visit?' I'm going to pick up my chauffeur's license next week.

Will give quick summation of news. The recession hasn't caught up with me yet, still in the workforce! Liz has taken the semester off from university, but is going back in January. We are pretty settled into our home now, and we both feel very blessed as we know many people are far less fortunate. Eloise is smiling, cooing and occasionally sleeping through the night. She is 3 months and 9 and a half pounds.

We hope everyone is doing great, here are the photos!

Baby Eloise



Hi all,

For those of you who just can't get enough baby photos here are some of little Eloise who is now approaching a heady 2 weeks of age. We are all doing extremely well, despite the sleep deprivation. I am adapting well to my role of 'evil daddy', being responsible for most things that result in hysterical crying - changing nappies, burping, bathing and cleaning belly buttons etc. 'Yummy Mummy' on the other hand is responsible for spreading joy and happiness by designing the menu, serving up wholesome meals, comforting and cuddling.

Just a quicky

Hi Everyone, as you may or may not know, Liz and I have bought a house and are having a baby. How very conventional of us! I know, I'm a total disgraceful sell out, but what can I say? I'm 30.

Anyway, I have been promising to put some photos up of the house for sometime, and now that I don't spend every spare minute studying for the CFA I can actually get around to it.
(I uploaded the photos in reverse order, so we are starting with the garage)
