Casey left for tour this morning

It was a sad day in the Joseph household, Casey's spring tour has started today. Casey's band, Stardeath and White Dwarfs, has an 18 date tour starting in Lawrence, Kansas tonight and ending in Indiana some time at the end of April. He will be gone for a while, but he has a brand new iphone to keep in touch with us and send pictures back and forth of little Rory.




Good news though, before he left for tour, Rory started saying "da da" and "i da da" sounding like hi da da, which made him very happy.




Here's the latest:




 




Rory's first sippy cup with water, yay!

So, first entry ever!

This is my first time to do any sort of blogging type thing so bear with me. This way I can keep everyone up to date on how little Rory Lee is constantly growing and changing.




So, I guess here it is!


She is a whole 5 1/2 months old now. Here is a little background: she was born September 19, 2008 at 10:41 pm. She weighed 7 lbs and 4 oz and was 20.5 inches long. She has been such a wonderful baby so far and an amazing blessing.

She was obviously not very happy.

She scratched herself in the middle of the night..



Can you see the resemblance?
