Grace & Simon.

Albuquerque, New Mejico. Beautiful wedding of my good college buddy Grace and my new amigo Simon.

I'm going to let the photos tell the story because I've got "Blogger's Block" and don't have anything witty to say. I'll post one of the 20 or so weddings on my desk next week. Maybe Monday. Keep your fingers crossed.























whoa. is this a new blog post. yes it is.

hey everyone. dom is about 7 weeks old now which means i haven't blogged in about 7 weeks. i'm sorry to tell you this but time does become a little more scarce when you have a kid. shocker right?

so, since i was bad at blogging before, i'll probably be even worse now. however, i'm not giving up yet. maybe eventually, but not yet.

here's a couple shots of the kid.

Dominic Willoughby

Sarah and I had our first child on Monday night (Aug 10th)! Sarah is incredible. She wanted to have the birth naturally so she didn't get an epidural. She started having intense contractions around 8:30 am and labored 14 hours using the Bradley method of relaxation . At 10:30pm the obgyn insisted that the labor wasn't progressing at all and that a c-section would be necessary. Apparently Sarah has what the doctor called "little boy hips".  It gets kind of technical...

Obviously a c-section is not what Sarah wanted but it worked out for the best. The delivery at that point was quick and everything went very smoothly. At 11:27 pm a beautiful, healthy boy was born! His name is Dominic and he's 7 lbs 11 oz and 22.5 inches long. Some how I was able to snap a couple pics of everything that happened and I put it into a little slideshow. Don't worry, there isn't anything too graphic. It's just a little 5 minute video so hopefully it's done loading by now. If it isn't FULLY loaded, just keep waiting. It's kind of annoying if it starts and then stops 20 times.

Thanks for checking in, everyone, and for keeping us in your thoughts.

Feel free to leave us a comment below.

Joe & Jane Marie

Hello blog followers. Greetings. There is still no baby Willoughby. The due date was last Wednesday so....yeah...we're running kind of late. Thanks for your thoughts and/or prayers though. I'll be sure to update the blog with a flood of imagery as soon as possible.

For those of you who stopped by for some mind-blowing photographs instead of a baby update: I have something for you too.

Jane Marie and Joe. Wow. This was one of the most amazing weddings I've ever been to. See for yourself....
