Tessa's Pictures (Finally)

This one's my favorite. She's a scally cap away from being in the Dropkick Murphys.

These are my faves of the 30 or so that are floating around. Hope you like them.

Welcome Tessa

Tessa Sharron Brink was born on April 15, 2008. She was 7 lbs. 13 oz. (she's lost a little now), and 21 inches long (which she still is).

Sorry this post is so late, but my wife Valerie was in the hospital for 4 nights, which is standard these days for a c-section. For whatever reason the hospital doesn't have wi-fi available for patients so I couldn't post from there. Also, I've been a little busy what with this whole fatherhood thing and all. We took a bunch of pics, but I haven't downloaded them yet so that'll come in a day or two. She's beautiful though, trust me.

As for Tessa herself, she's a sweetheart when she's awake and conteented. Of course, this only happens about 10 minutes at a time, the rest she's either sleeping, eating, screaming or pooping. And believe it or not, she can do them all at once. But that's okay, she's only a couple of days old and that'll ge better right? Right?

Valerie and tessa are both sleeping now so I think I might have a nap myself. I'll get those pics up soon.

Bye.

Welcome

Welcome all to my first blog. Do you love me yet?

Okay, so here's the latest and the greatest for ya. The demo from my band, Blue Tattoo, is completed and sounds awesome. We should be able to move forward soon, doing shows and getting the website up and running, photos and all kinds of stuff. Stay tuned.

I am going to be a Daddy. Tomorrow, Apr. 15th. Pictures, name and info about my little girl will be posted soon. We haven't told anyone the name yet, partially because we want it to be a surprise. Also because it annoys people and that's fun for me.

My wife, Valerie, will probably be annoyed that I mentioned the band first. Again, that's fun for me.

Also, Rush's new live CD comes out tomorrow too, as does a live e.p. from former Drive by Truckers guitarist Jason Isbell. Just thought you should know.

Okay, gotta go. Be good...or at least be yourself.
