Hello there.

I hope that all of you are enjoying your Monday night! I was exhausted after I came home from work today. Once I got home, I cuddled up with the baby and slept for an hour-and-a-half. Now I feel a lot better.

I have been pretty tired lately. I am thinking that there are a number of factors that are combining to make me tired. The first is that it is dark when I go to work in the morning, and it is almost dark when I come home. It is kind of like that "seasonal affective disorder." The second factor is that we have been keeping the lights on in the bedroom, and Kazuko has been getting up every few hours to feed Kenny. It is hard to get a solid night's sleep. All that stuff plus each workday seems like a whirlwind of activity. It is all kind of wearing me out.

Oh well, at least I am happy.

After dinner I took a few pictures of Kenny. Kenny is less than one month old and I have already collected a fair number of pictures of him on my computer. It is interesting that the vast majority of Kenny's pictures are digital images. When I was a baby, all of my baby pictures were color prints. My friends' older brothers and sisters had half black-and-white/ half color prints. It looks like Kentaro came at the cusp of a revolution in photo technology. There will be a lot of babies born these days whose baby pictures are only computer printouts rather than photo prints.

I wonder what the next revolution will be...

Here are the pictures that I took this evening:

This first one is of the baby looking at me.




Here is another father-son photo. We're looking at each other.



This is Kentaro at his most photogenic.



That's all for tonight. Thanks for reading!
