Without music life would be a mistake.  ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Life would be a mistake if there was no music to experience. (Have you ever been experienced…well…I have).  I have started playing music to McKinna at night to hopefully get her used to the “colors” of sound that await her in the world.  To make sure that she has been exposed to the best possible music, the selections are taken from her daddy’s playlist.  So far she has heard Bob Marley, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin.


Upcoming artists will contain Allman Brothers, Credence Clearwater Rivial, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday.

Last weekend my Mom, Aunt Linda and Diane McKinna threw Erin and I a WONDERFUL baby shower.  We are so grateful to all of our family and close friends who took the time out to share with us in this occasion.  McKinna received so many wonderful gifts that certainly come in handy.  Everything from high chairs, diapers, portrait gowns, the crib, booties and my personal favorite - Leroy.

The next day Erin put together lots of the furniture and everything looks GREAT!!!!!

If you have pictures from the shower, please forward them to me so that I can post them.

When I was growing up my favorite story was Peter Pan. Over the years I have been to see it at Play House on the Square and any movie that has come out related to Peter Pan I always make it a point to go and see it.   It was a special moment when I was able to read to McKinna for the first time even if it sounded like story time under water.  My your daddy’s words fall over your ears and heart like pixie dust as you fly through the adventures in life.

I have posted the lastest shower pictures on McKinna’s Gallery.  Thank you SOOO much to Greg, Rachael and the rest of my department for throwing us a wonderful shower.
