Aunt Megan is currently traveling abroad in Asia and decided to send Joshua the COOLEST outfit ever! As you can see, he takes to the character quite well. Obviously we will have to add pants before Halloween but you get the idea!

Skype me!

Traditionally I've done most of my online chatting on the AOL AIM network. I literally have the same screen name I've had since high school. Working at Zattoo where we are very geographically separated I've gotten use to Skype. Skype (recently bought by eBay) is a p2p client that offers chatting, phone, and video conferencing. I have to admit, if more of my friends would switch so would I.

The phone service works great and we use it regurally for conference calls across the world. The video conferencing is actually better and more reliable than iChat (although will still use all the goodies your mac provides) and the chatting software is very up to par. And since its p2p it makes good use of any bandwidth it can find.

So try Skype, and if you do IM me or give me a ring. My screen name is jonathanduty (home) and jonathan_zattoo (work).

[Update] Corrected above but my Dad just pointed out that eBay actually bought Skype, not Amazon.

Eating everything in sight

For those who remember Joshua was not only born under weight but really didn't like to eat. Well, those times are gone. We have ourselves an eating machine. Even though it is sometimes difficult to keep the food coming in fast enough Kerry and I secretly love it. There is nothing better than seeing your once very underweight son plow through a whole stack of pancakes and smile while doing it.

I should also note that he is completely off the bottle and formula. We now start every morning with a sippy-cup of milk and slice of cinnamon-swirl bread (thanks to Pop and Grammy for that discovery). The nightly bottle is completely gone and is replaced by a cup of yogurt.

Its a Nitchie!

Congrads to my former co-worker and his wife, Chris and Shannon on their beautiful new baby! Connor Loughlin Nitchie was born Monday, 6/16/07, 19:58. 5 lbs, 8ish oz. It sounds like there was a few scary moments but from the looks at this picture everyone seems to be fitting into this new world quite beautifully.

5 Years and still going

Today Kerry and I have been married 5 years. It has been a great and wild ride including a nation-wide relocation, buying, selling, and buying a house, a few hospital visits, our first baby, a few vacations, and about 10 different jobs between us. I can't speak for her but when I first met that girl in the elevator of Collins Dorm at Baylor I had no idea almost a decade later she would be the mother of my child. Its wonderful being married to her and I can't wait to see what the next 5 years will bring us.
