Elegant and yet so retro...






Life changing...

With November approaching ever so quickly, I've been reflecting on how life changes, we adapt and make choices based on the priorities in our collective lives.

Thinking back as a single man whether I was living in the Bay Area or on my own in Virginia, my life decisions really only impacted me most of the time. If I decided after work to spend 1.5 hrs in the gym working out, then I could without a problem. Thoughts of saving or spending money rarely crossed my mind as I had been raised in a conservative home that emphasized saving over spending.

Life changed when I met Carrie and I had to adapt. Now, my time wasn't my own anymore. I had someone else who valued my time. Decisions on working out, spending more now impacted more than just myself.

Now with November approaching and we are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Josiah Kenneth, I've reflected that yet again, life changes and we adapt. Now, rather than working out, I'm going to want to be heading home to play with my son and be a part of his life. Give Carrie a break though I have a strong feeling that she will love every minute with our son.

Priorities change and we adapt. Just something I've been reflecting about.

Older ultrasound pics....








Recent ultrasound pics of Josiah Kenneth...

These were taken at our recent diagnostic ultrasound session in Sacramento. Gratefully, Josiah is a very boring baby and the pregnancy is very boring as well. :) We like boring!



More clothes for Carrie...






Carrie has been amazingly blessed by all of the clothes my Mom has made her. Recently, my mom completed three gorgeous tops and a dress. Several look great with the new red coral necklace and earrings that I got her while in Hawaii! :)

More pictures to come!

It's a....

Josiah Kenneth Briggs will be arriving sometime in November. Right now, he is still baking in the oven!

Cute boys...all for now...:)
