Finally, more pics.

I mentioned my World of Warcraft addiction, right? Well, though it has not really stopped me from taking lots of pictures, is has stopped me from getting off my butt to post more pictures on the website. Finally, posted some new pictures.
In other news... naturally fatherhood is a learning process. Brendan and I both learn new stuff all the time. Here are some tidbits I have learned recently:
- If you start snapping an outfit on, from the top... when you get to the middle where it splits off into the legs... you will get confused, and have to call your wife over to help you.
- If you start snapping an outfit on, from the bottom... when you get to the middle where it splits off into the other leg and the body... you will get confused, and have to call your wife over to help you.
- If you start in the middle, at the most confusing part, you can save time and just call your wife over immediately.
- If you take enough pictures, you will get an action shot. Of spit up.
Second place is the first loser

Our roller hockey team had our championship game tonight. Now, the thing you have to understand about our hockey team is that we always come in second place. Always. We have lost the championship game like 6 seasons in a row.
I can't say I had high hopes for the game tonight. I gave us a 1 in 3 shot at pulling out an upset, some thought our odds were slightly better, I thought I was being generous with 1 in 3.
So the game goes like this:
- Rob scores early to give us a 1-0 lead.
- I score next, off a great pass from my buddy Chris, 2-0.
- They score... twice. 2-2.
- Rob scores again... 3-2. Which brings us to the last 4 minutes of the game. I am actually starting to feel optimistic.
- They score. twice. 3-4, we are losing.
- With 1 minute left, we pull the goalie, I skate in as the extra skater. Someone gives a centering pass towards the crease (I think Chris), I can't get a stick on it, but Rob does. He takes what feels like 3 and a half years to get a shot off, and puts it in!
- Game tied, we head into over time...
- First minute of overtime, they shoot, score win.
A little proud I guess, yet ... mostly sad.
You can get used to most anything

So, I was thinking on the way home from my hockey game tonight (yes, we won... 7-1 in the semi-finals! Finals next week)... that I have not written anything in the blog in way too long. Mostly, because there has been that much "funny" stuff happening, and everyone knows... funny blog entries are the best!
I promised I wouldn't write more pee stories, but, I fear that I must to illustrate a point. See, we were at the doctor today, where we learned that brendan is huge (13 lbs, 12 oz... a full 1.5 lbs heavier than just 3 weeks ago). While taking this weight... he lets go a stream of pee, cuz hey, he is nekked, why not?
Leanne does not even flinch. Just puts her hand in the stream to keep it...well, on him. And sorta waits for someone to hand her a paper towel. This was all a total non-issue. Normal, everyday stuff. Even I didn't find it that funny... just sorta handed her the paper towel, and went about my business.
How does this become uninteresting, normal stuff? 2 months ago, I would have found this pretty darn funny, and certainly worthy of a blog entry. Now, it's only worthy of an entry cuz it wasn't interesting and thus... not deserving of an entry. If that makes any sense :)
Subject change: I mentioned the new camera in a previous entry. Gotta say, I really love it. I am not qualified to use the new lenses, but I can certainly see the potential. For example, I took this shot of a water drop that at least proves the camera can do amazing things, even if I can't.
