So here we are in another new year. It seems a little anti-climactic as 2006 ended very surreally for us. I haven’t really said much about it here, and most of my regular readers will know, but on Thanksgiving 2006 (more specifically, 4:16am the morning after) my beautiful wife Alexis gave birth to our beautiful daughter, Alana Corrin.
So things have been, shall we say, insane, and absolutely wonderful. I was able to take about three weeks off of work, then go back for a week and then head down to Lex’s parent’s in LA for a week, so December was a surreal blur of diapers, no sleep, an unbelievable cuteness.
Now I’m back to work full time, and Alexis and Alana are enjoying full-time baby fun at home. New schedules are going to require new routines, but whatever I can do to maximize time with the girls is important because I can’t believe how fast they change.
Babies are fun!
2006, it was great

Hey Rand – Congrats on the new baby. My wife and I also had a new baby in 2006 – November 30th to be specific. We had a boy, named Xander Ray. I’ve been experiencing much the same thing you are. Although I was able to take off a week in December, and now am off all of January. It’s hard work, but watching him grow is worth it.
A husband and a dad? We’ve been out of touch for too long. You’re still a 20 year old with an attitude problem as far as I’m concerned 😉
