Boo!

Wonderwife had turned on the television to unwind after our moving sale Saturday and stopped the channel flipping on a showing of Pixar’s animated movie, Monsters Inc. What stopped us was the fact that monsters are supposed to scare children and the child on screen (nicknamed Boo) looks VERY similar to our little Daphne when […]

Sicko

the face of discomfort in the doc’s office
Our little bundle of joy was not feeling so joyous yesterday. She’s had a fever off/on for the past 2 days around 99. When I got home from work, she was burning up, her hands/feet were cold and bluish. We visited a pediatrician (after hours) who diagnosed a […]

Daphne,
You have been a member of this world for 6 months and already, you have been a huge blessing in our lives. For the eleven years your mother and I have been married, you were on our minds. Now that you are here with us, you have enhanced our joy. Watching you grow and […]

A Shrill Cry

Daphne is learning to find her voice. At first it was cute and encouraged because she was singing to daddy. Now it is the shrill shrieks similar to the ring wraiths from The Lord of the Rings movie series. I’m concerned some well-meaning neighbors may mistake her singing for murder cries.

Christmas Memories & Reflection

Obviously when you are a child Christmas has a different meaning than it does when you are an adult. As a new father this year it takes on a more special meaning. The Denbow family Christmas was celebrated early because of our visit to Wonderwife’s family in Houston this weekend. We wanted the girl to […]

Vulcan Trail Stroll

On Sunday, the Denbows decided to enjoy the nice weather and take a stroll on the Vulcan Trail. We brought the camera, of course and snapped a few pics off using the fisheye lens attachment. The daughter was asleep through the whole thing. She’ll get used to the daddy paparazzi and the hiking, for […]

New Father Reflections 

I’m one of those guys that breaks stereotypes in that I have always loved children. My empathetic and sanguine nature reveals this to be true. I’ve always wondered what it would be like when I have my own. Now, I can answer this question with authority. Having little Daphne come into the world last week […]

92 Degrees

So our little 15 year old air condition unit that could decided to protest Sunday afternoon. Today I met with a VERY nice technician who was able to save the compressor ($1800) but needed to replace the fan motor ($350). He might have sold us a compressor that we didn’t need. He could have sold […]
