on Sept. 5th at 10:39pm. What a remarkable difference the second birth is than the first. I have been truly blessed to witness both births of my daughters go down in the same room...1 year, 
364 days, 1 hour 20minutes apart. Katie was again AWESOME!!Three plus weeks have already flown by and though both Katie and I are in need of breaks...we realize that this special time goes by so very fast. And here I thought that having one child was a major imprint into ones daily free time....try two (both under 2.5 years). Yowza! Not much surfing going on these days.....ok, I can't lie...I have gone surfing but not nearly as much as I would dream to. T
oday I found some newborn photos of Frances and was impressed and a bit surprised to see how similar they look...especially having thought for the past few weeks about how different I thought they looked. The time I am able to spend and invest with Frances these days will be forever memorable too....we have had much special daddy Frances time and she is doing remarkably well considering what a change she i
s experiencing and going through too.Delight and know that the GroundArt crew is live (alive) and in full effect....we are embracing each hour with a sense that the last small phase has just passed but we will next endure a similar and rewarding next few hours. Hour by hour....day by day.....learning that slow and steady wins the race. (We are always here at home hoping for a small br
eak if anyone wants to come 
and visit and take Fran to the park) Not to forget though how very blessed we have been with many dinners and lots of gifts from friends and family the past few weeks and we THANK YOU ALL!!!We may even try for a family outing to the 'Hardly Strictly Blue Grass Festival' a free event in SF Golden Gate Park to see one of our favorite bands play this Sunday evening....the Avett Brothers. Wish us luck. Peace out...God bless and enjoy the photos.
