Number Two
I’m happy to announce that Claire and I are expecting baby number two in October. We actually did a little planning and it surprisingly worked out. Our number one, Dex, is just over 15 months old and he is keeping us busy. We have learned a ton with him and it has prepared us .. so we’ll hopefully be able to manage two successfully.

New Blog →
I have finally got a new blog setup at Tumblr.. moved most of my posts from Aeotha.com to here… and changed the name to Simple Fragments (simplefragments.com)… most posts will relate to family, personal.. and some business stuff. I also setup a individual blog just for special non-sense under my username Que4zone (que4zone.com).
I’m trying to discipline myself to post more...

Before Today
Had a great Christmas… with my family we do the usual KFC meal and open presents. And on my wife’s side we did our first Google Talk (video) Christmas, sort of. Part of the family in Pella, Iowa weren’t able to make it so it made sense to do video chat instead of scheduling the party in a different month.
For both families we just exchange names to make it more affordable. And...

Winter Pictures
Attached is one of my latest sessions with an awesome (willing) family that braved out the cold. .. I think it was like 10 degrees fahrenheit that day.. the family did great and so the pictures turned out great!
Though I’m in beta-mode with getting my photography off the ground it seems to be working out quite nicely. Currently I only have a Facebook page… social media really...

Inspired by a friend/family member I hope to post more… so here we go… ok! So a lot of things have been happening… first. My son Dex started walking right before he turned 9 months.. according to my Mom’s records I did the same. Kudos for Dex and I … . he also only has two bottom teeth but we suspect he is currently teething and will hopefully dawn some new teeth!...

Are We Done Yet?
We recently finished working on the front of our house. April of 2008 we tore out the bushes and whatnot (with the help of my Parents Ron & Janice). With “Phase 1” done, “Phase 2” is to somewhat landscape what we removed. So to make it easy on ourselves we only worked in front of the living room window.
Hard work. We removed all the dirt and rock.. planted 2 small...

Winter Baby
Who would have guessed!? Well not many people actually… it was quite a surprise to most of our family and friends when we announced early this week that yes, we are FINALLY pregnant!
We’ve heard it a million times “Soooo, when are you two going to have a baby?” and we used the same answers over and over… “Oh, sometime soon” “We’re not quite...

Peru: Pictures →
So it’s been a month since we returned from our memorable trip to Peru and it’s about time that we’ve shared some of our photos for your viewing pleasure! We’ve selected some of our favorite pictures from our trip which was a task in itself because between Dan and I, we took about 3,000 pictures in 9 days. Travel to and from Peru was surprisingly easy. Customs was a...

Peru: Part 4
Thursday was our main reason for visiting Peru, the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu. We have learned along the way that there are so many more things to experience in this country and Machu Picchu is just a small part of its beauty. My love for Peru grows stronger every day and these last few days have been quite magical.
We woke early Thursday in order to catch a train to Aguas Calientes...

Peru: Part 3
We really have no excuse for not updating the blog yesterday after our city tour of Cuzco, but it’s only because we were tired and we didn’t want to! Instead we had a nice dinner and shared a drink with a nice couple from Edmunton(sp?) Alberta Canada. They have been on vacation for 40 days.. a 31 day cruise plus some. They were heading to the Galapagos Islands next.

Peru: Part 2
The last two days have been unbelievable and there is almost too much to tell and not enough time to tell it. So I will give you some of the highlights. We got to Puerto Maldonado and were greeted by stifling heat and humidity. If you think Wisconsin summers are bad, at least there is an occasional breeze for relief. This kind of heat is impossible to get away from and several showers a day were...

Peru: Part 1
Hola from Lima Peru! All of our travels here went relatively smoothly. Not having any checked luggage was a plus and going through customs was a breeze. They never even opened our bags. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I did not expect it to be so easy.
Today was our first day of real sightseeing as yesterday was just getting here. This morning we had a buffet breakfast here at the...
