When people ask us who our kids look like, we tend to say “us”. They have both of our features. Well it appears the computer application at MyHeritage.com agrees: (Come on, we all know Gehrig looks just like ME!)

I’m not a big fan of puns. But the last two made me smile – maybe because the first 8 were so bad.

1. Two vultures board an airplane, each carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at them and says, “I’m sorry, gentlemen, only only one carrion allowed per passenger.”
2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says, “Dam! … “
3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can’t have your kayak and heat it too.
4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, “I’ve lost my electron.” The other says, “Are you sure?” The first replies “Yes, I’m positive.”
5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? He wanted to transcend dental medication.
6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. ‘But why?” they asked, as they moved off. “Because”, he said, “I can’t stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.”
7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named “Ahmal.” The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him “Juan.” Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, “They’re twins! If you’ve seen Juan, you’ve seen Ahmal.”
8. These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to “persuade” them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he’d be back if they didn’t close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars.
9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him …(Oh, man, this is so bad, it’s good)… A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to his friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.

I’ve posted new photos to our online Gallery. Enjoy!

Since we have a theme of naming our sons after hall of fame baseball players, I thought I’d have some fun with Nolan’s birth announcement. I created it using a combination of Photoshop and Microsoft publisher. The baseball card design was done in Photoshop. I modeled the designed after the first card I found – a 1988 Topps Tom Glavine rookie card. I then ordered 25 5×7 prints through Costco and picked them up the next day. It only cost 10 bucks. I love technology!

Well, I figured this should be the place to post family updates for anyone who cares. NerdyDork is my other personal blog, but I often fill it with boring programming tidbits & other stuff. So welcome, to the new Davis family blog. I’ll try to post family photos and videos on occasion to keep you all updated and entertained 😉

For now, enjoy some of my recent favorite family photos…

Gehrig somehow sprained his ankle.

Our house flooded on our 7^th Anniversary. That was fun. This is where is started…

And it just kept going. The wall starting peeing in the toilet!

We had lots of neighbors help us put in our new giant sand box!
