This is probably one of my favorites of all time (6 weeks)
I didn't even have time to Photoshop the little scratch on
his nose, I just took the pictures and posted them on the
blog within an hour.

We took Evan out in the car for the first time this weekend.
First, we took him with us to pick up dog food. We have to
get prescription dog food for Elvis & Lucy, and our vet is a
40 minute drive in each direction. Genevieve wanted to get
out of the house, so we took Evan with us. He was great
on the ride out there, but Gen said that when I went in the
place to get the dog food, he started crying worse than he's
ever cried before, so much so that she started to panic. He
even cried real tears for the first time. So Gen fed him, and
he was fine on the way home. Today, we took him out to see
our friends Frank & Heather who live a few towns over and
have two girls of their own. Again, Evan was great in the car,
he only had one serious meltdown as we were about to leave,
but it was over in five minutes and I think it was just because he
was really tired. Frank hooked me up with a back pack that
folds out into a seat, so you walk around with the baby sitting
comfortably behind you. This will be great for our trips into
Manhattan when he's a bit older.

4:30 AM

It's a little after 4:30AM, and I just got Evan to sleep a few minutes ago. He was pretty upset for a good hour, so I held him, walked around the house with him, and tried to help him sleep while I uploaded photos on the computer. Genevieve handed him off to me, I guess she was pretty tired and wanted me to take him for a while. If I can give Genevieve a break and let her sleep for at least a few hours, then I guess that would be a good thing. She's been sleep deprived for about 6 weeks now, so I guess I should help her out. Speaking of photos, I just uploaded a bunch of new photos on the Flickr site, so check them out. Here's the link to the photos on Flickr. I got back logged due to work, but there's a lot of new pics, mostly one's Genevieve took while I was away in New York.

Also, we finished the Birth Announcement on Photoshop tonight, so they should be in the mail next week. I know we announced Evan's birth on the blog, and I'm sure everyone knows by now, but we wanted to do sort of a formal birth announcement. Also, Thank You cards will be going out if you haven't gotten one already. So many of my friends were really generous, so I just wanted to say thanks.

Thursday, July 10th

I got to spend a little time at home this week. It's been hard
adjusting to the routine that Evan and his Mom are already
used to. I've been trying to help out, changing diapers and holding
him more. He's been really vocal lately and smiles all the time.
Evan will be 6 weeks old this weekend.


Evan and his Daddy

I've Been Slacking!!!

Elvis and Evan, separated at birth?

Evan LOVES his chair that Uncle Bill and Aunt Dawn got him.

Big Boy

Can't wait to see Evan. Genevieve's been taking photos and sending them to me so I can see how he's doing. I can't believe how big he's gotten since I've been away. He looks so happy, content, and well fed. I'm working on an MTV commercial shoot at a High School in Long Island today. I'm hoping to drive back to the Philadelphia area after we wrap tonight. It's about a 3 hour drive depending on how bad traffic is, could be longer. Can't wait to spend time with my little boy.

Look, he's already trying to stand up on his own!

Some New Photos

I've been working insane hours on film productions in New York for the past several days, sometimes 16 hours a day or longer. I'm looking forward to going home and hanging out with Evan this weekend, but if more work comes, I may have to stay and even work on 4th of July. Here's some New York scenes thatI shoot for work. I spend most of my day (and night,) driving around New York City finding locations for television commercials.

Evan's 1 Month Old Today!

Daddy will be home soon little buddy. I miss you.
