This is Jim. Jim is pretty mild mannered usually. However today he won this Championship belt, albeit in a Yankee Swap, and he was really jazzed about it. So he became today’s portrait for the December Challenge in a very quick capture of his reaction. However after the party was over Jim went back to being his mild mannered self but somehow the rest of us know that we shouldn’t mess with him.

I ended up winning the ultimate Trailer park accessory or a great thing for tailgating, you decide.

Everything is in the Christmas Spirit. we had a great luncheon and I popped in the Ambient Fire DVD and projected it on the screen so we could all use it. I also liked how the company Christmas Tree looked this morning.

Photo-A-Day #987 12/21/07

Today was a bit tense for Allison and me. Last week while I was traveling Allison took Eva for her regular check up and the doctor discovered a slight murmur. Well, we are new parents and we were pretty nervous about the whole thing so we made an appointment with a pediatric cardiologist and took Eva there today. Long story short Eva is fine, I could make you wait till the end to tell you. but that is mean. The cardiologist told us that she is perfectly fine it is a natural thing that many babies have and it should work out fine within a few months.

Both the ultrasound tech and the cardiologist wanted to take Eva home with them, so it isn’t just Mr. Fab who is fascinated with her. Watching the ultrasound on Eva was strange because I remember watching ultrasounds OF Eva. Seeing her heart beating and taking up the whole screen was so weird as compared to seeing her little heart beat on Allison’s ultrasounds. Eva was wonderful at the doctor’s too. She didn’t cry until she was hungry and daddy was slow so that is why she cried. Other than that she was a little angel.

When we came home Allison and I watched and episode of Smallville (we are still on season 3) and Allison did some knitting. While she was knitting Oliver crawled into her lap. I reached for my camera, which always sends him flying. But this time he stayed and I captured a nice little moment between Allison and Oliver. The light was poor but again the slightest movement sends him on his way. So today’s December Challenge Photo is of Allison and Oliver.
