Baby Bartley's Blog

Hello Family!

Here are some pictures of Megan's belly. These are the first photos of Carter Bartley. We are 95% sure we are going to name him Carter.

Proof it is a boy:


A foot:


A fist and a head... I call this the "rocker" pose:


I have no idea:


I am stoked about becoming a dad. I look forward to seeing you at Christmas.

Love you all.

Congratulations to Jodi

Hello Family!

This blog entry is to celebrate the academic accomplishments of Dr. Jodi Eastberg.

Jodi - congratulations on your achievement. I am very proud of you. I wish I could be in Milwaukee for your graduation. It sounds like I missed a good party.

I have compiled a list of teachers that probably helped form you into the person you are today. Here goes:

1) mom & dad - listing the obvious ones first. Without them, you would not be here. Literally.
2) Ms. Updike - did you have her as a pre-school teacher in DeSoto? Did you run away from school? Who would have thought while fleeing pre-school, you would never want to leave. How old are you now? 32? So it took 26 years, but you are now ready to flee school again... at least the learning-part of school (not the teaching-part).
3) Ms. Flynn - did you have Ms. Flynn at St. Pat's?
4) Ms. Chauncey - again, a St. Pat's teacher I can not remember if you had her.
5) Sister Margarite - math. Say no more.
6) Miss Dowd - one of the most positive influences of your time at Bishop Ward
7) Miss Lane - see above
8) Insert Salpointe teacher here... sorry, I was not with you for those years
9) Insert Saint Louis University professor here... again, I completely missed these years of your life
10) Insert Marquette professor here... I now realize that you became much more studious when I did not live with you. Unrelated? I think not.

Congratulations. Quick, look studious for the family blog:

Megan & Mom's Birthday!

Hello family!

Long time, no blog. Everyone: get on it.

Megan celebrated her 32nd birthday last Friday. We went to a nice restaurant called Uchi in Austin. The food was amazing. We took this picture after dinner.

We had fun. The entire weekend was fun.

I hope Mom had a Happy Birthday, too!

I miss you all. Megan, PugPuggy and I are looking forward to seeing Jess & Zach in May!

I love you, my family. Keep this blog going.
