I am a Dad!!!!!

well it is official she is here my little baby girl was born on Monday May 21 at 7:04 pm weight of 7.23 lbs and a length of 19.5 inches.  Sarah and Elena Rose Gies are doing great, we came home on Thursday.  I have taken tons of photos I think she already has me wrapped around her tiny fingers.

here are two pics for all to enjoy!

I know it has been a while since I last posted but the winter did not really inspire me a hole lot.  So when my mother asked me if wanted to plant some new annulus in the front of our house I found these stew flowers which look like small sun flower I love them.  In a few weeks i will have a new model in my life with the addition of a daughter, so expect lots of baby pics.

Hotel Phillips

Just got back from a staycation, we stayed at the Hotel Phillips I was hoping to take a few more photos then I did but there were two wedding receptions going on so lots of random people walking around but did mange to take these.

Halloween Times

I have never really been a huge fan of carving pumpkins but I have really started to enjoy Halloween times .  We spent a good time outside carving our pumpkins, and enjoying maybe one last nice weekend.  I am not sure Sarah will like the fact that I am going to post some pictures of her but it was such a nice day and Zooey makes an appearance in one of the photos.   I hope everyone has a good Halloween and a safe time out at parties or tricker treating.   

Half Marathon

It was a great day for a run, for a great reason I finished the race in 2 hours 10 minutes and 49 seconds.  The TNT group and other runners where a great help in getting me across the finish line.  Sarah took this picture of me in Westport so I thought i would post it and let you all see that I really did run and had fun so Thank you to all of you that helped me. I did have a great time.

Water on a Rose

I know it has been a while since my last post but we have been very busy, with my training for my half marathon and working on the yard and house.  The last time I was able to take some photographs was the last time it rained. Our Dream Come True rose had just opened and got a nice amount of water droplets on it.  I know that it is a reoccurring photo but I have really been loving the look of water on the flowers.
If anyone has any place or anything they would like to see on my blog just post a comment and I will do my best to get some great photos.

Nice cool day, flowers looking good

I know it has been a while since posting something new but was out with in our yard Sunday on that nice cool day and saw our new coral rose blooming so took some macro pics of it and think they turned out pretty good.  We also had some very pretty butterflies out on Sarah's flowers out front, they were very hard to get some good pictures of so this was the best one of them all.
