Pregnancy Week 31: She Buys Me Beer

Not only is my wife awesome because she’s letting me buy a new HDTV, but she also buys me beer while pregnant. What else can a man ask for?

If Only Everything Came In “Princess”

Everything comes in “princess”!

Ahh….the joys of having a daughter.
She has a very simplistic view of the world…things are either “princess” or “not princess”.

Professional Photographs Inspired By Children

I originally saw this over at Funtasticus and had to share with you all on Building Camelot.
This is a series of professional photographs based on drawings from children. These photographs represent the incredible imagination that children posses. Even though my daughter is still too young to draw like this, I am still amazed at [...]

IT’S A GIRL!
Yep, that’s right…having another little girl!
How much estrogen [...]
