JR is Here!!!!

John Remsen Parrish arrived at 10:17am. He weighed in at a hefty 7lbs and 11oz (funny, Becca's birthday is 7/11) and was 19-3/4" long. He is lots of black hair and has been dream baby so far. Below are some pictures:

Let It Snow!

I think everyone enjoys a snow day now and then! Yesterday that is exactly what we had! Just thought I'd share pictures of the snow falling down on Wednesday night, and Polk's footprints in the snow on Thursday morning.

Oh so special....

So everyone knows how much we love The Belleville Outfit (look to your right at our fave links), but I think that love just grew exponentially. Betsy Teter, mom of lead singer Rob Teter and famous in her own right as Director of the Hub City Writer's Project, just gave us the best gift ever...Belleville's new cd "Wanderin'".

Words can't describe how excited Remsen and I are to get this fabulous CD before it is released to the general public. We feel beyond special, like the presidents of a fan club (which, don't laugh, I have been before for a band) or official groupies. In fact, we are on the verge of craziness here...Remsen bought tickets to see Belleville Outfit at The Showroom (http://www.hub-bub.com/) on February 15th. Yup, we'll have a two week old son.

Our family life might change but our love for our music? NEVER.

Happy New Year...finally!

It is hard to believe it is already 2008! Where does the time go? Make a New Year's Resolution? What if you are still working on last year's resolution?

With Christmas celebrations behind us, I thought Remsen and I could share some recent photos. We had a great time at Kristi and Shannon's NewYear's Eve party, even if it meant cheering on some good 'ol fashioned streaking up Hampton Drive. Below are some pictures from the party (sorry, I was just not fast enough to catch the naked action just past midnight)...
