Ryan and Debi & Toren

  • How small is Toren?

  • Toren update

    Toren has now had four visitors – our neighbors, Amber and Justin, came over Saturday night and our other neighbors, Rich and Sally, came over last night.  We should have taken photos of them holding Toren, but we forgot.  Oh well, I have other fun photos for you today. Here’s one, not of Toren, but…

  • Toren v. Parents

    I’m not sure why, but trying to figure out whether Toren looks more like me or Debi seems to be all the rage.  So, I figured I’d conduct a nice little scientific test.  Here’s Toren: Here is parent #1 (blinded so no one is biased by the sex): And Parent #2 (also blinded so no…

  • Toren photos and a comic

    First, a couple photos from the hospital.  Here is Toren sleeping with the cookies Debi’s family sent: They may not have filled him up, but they kept Debi happy. Here’s a shot of Toren’s first feeding and diapering sheet: We were supposed to track every time he ate, what he ate, whether he had a…

  • Toren fun update

    So, yesterday’s update was the scary one. Today’s is the fun one. Since we’ve recovered from the trauma a bit, we have had a number of first-time parenting experiences. So, hopefully this will offset yesterday’s post… We decided to have Toren circumcised. That six-word sentence substantially minimizes the debate we had over this decision. I’ll…

  • The Toren Saga

    Toren’s officially two days old! Here’s the rundown of what happened on the day he was born (starting the night before). NOTE: The rundown is a bit detailed and graphic, in case that’s a problem for you. We were working in front of the TV Monday night around 7:30 pm when Debi felt something wet.…

  • Game on!

    Contractions started at 2:30. Water broke at 5:40. Epidural in at 6:40. Now we’re just waiting… 🙂

  • Goodbye Windows (mostly). Hello Linux!

    After about three years of toying with each new release of Ubuntu Linux, the latest version, Jaunty Jackalope 9.0.4, sold me.  It’s about 95% there, and that’s enough.  So here’s the rundown of what works and what doesn’t… I installed the latest version on five computers: 2 custom built desktops, a Lenovo laptop, a Compaq…

  • Star Trek

    So, it turns out Debi and I aren’t the only Star Trek fans in Tampa.  We weren’t interviewed by Fox 13, but saw all of these people being interviewed when we went last night.  As far as the movie goes, it’s very good, but somewhat problematic as far as the Star Trek time line goes. …

  • Debi (and Toren) at Plant Park

    We spent about an hour shooting photos in Plant Park at the University of Tampa on Saturday.  Here are some of the better photos: On a different but related note, the main concern I have now is that Toren is not stillborn (per CDC definitions, stillborn refers to fetal deaths after 20 weeks). Luckily, his…
