Christmas with 1 kid is fun. Christmas with 2 kids is crazy fun. Here is Madison on Christmas Eve before church. As you can tell Kerry doesn't think of Madison as a dress up doll at all.

Madison Loves Zattoo
Here is Madison and I on a conference call with Zattoo HQ discussing exciting new features that will help shape the future of IPTV. As you can tell she as excited about the call as I am.

Daddy-Daughter work day
I've been working from home a lot lately. The startup I'm currently working with is mostly in Europe so my hours are extremely flexible and most of my human interaction takes place over skype or IRC. It actually works out quite well as I get lots of work done, but can be ready to give Kerry breaks throughout the day.
Here is a picture of Madison giving her input on a company conference call. She has some very interesting opinions regarding the future of IPTV.

Cheap booze
I love food and wine. Seriously, I love food and wine. But man that will pay for a lot of diapers.
But on the bright side its on sale, normally $115. And no, I didn't buy it. My $7.99 bottle has enough body for me.

trouble
Obviously Madison has learned how to work her daddy even at 1 months old. Have a funny feeling this is going to be trouble.

something to think about
Sent to me from my brother. A little extreme but something to think about when deciding how you live.'
Will I Live to see 80?
Here's something to think about.
I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and
exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I just
turned 49.)
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do
you think I'll live to be 80?'
He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?'
"Oh no,' I replied... 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'
Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?
'I said, 'Not much... my former doctor said that all red meat is very
unhealthy!'
'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking,
or bicycling?'
'No, I don't,' I said.
He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'
'No,' I said.
He looked at me and said,... 'Then, why do you even give a shit?

Guys night out
Last week while Mom had a much-deserved night out Joshua and I hit our favorite scene. Joshua's absolute most favorite food is the mac&cheese at Arbor Brewing (http://www.arborbrewing.com/). He will literally eat his body weight in it. If you follow our flickr feed (http://www.flickr.com/jonandkerry) you've probably seen a lot of pictures of us there.
After a manly meal at the bar we headed over to REI to play in the tents and look at all the manly camping equipment. Then ended the night at the Whole Foods next door for some desert (manly desert of course).

vacations, babies and all in between
Its been a long time since our last post. To be honest, social networks like twitter, flickr, and facebook have pretty much taken over our external communication. They allow us to stay way more up to date with less buy-in. I can post a tweet in a few seconds and facebook pretty much runs itself. If you like the whole social network things, go "friend" us on facebook (Jonathan Duty and "Kerry Jo Kraushaar Duty"). You can also follow my twitter feed at http://twitter.com/jonathandut . I update it at least once a day. For our life in pictures go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonandkerry
That being said I think its import to try and maintain some sort of presence on this blog. So here is an update:
1) Yes, we are having a second baby! We found out a few weeks ago that it will be a girl and she is due in September. Haven't completely settled on names yet, as we are still coming to terms with the fact that we are actually going to do this again. Coming from a family of all boys, I should be even more useless than I was the first time around ;)
2) We just got back from our first non-Dallas vacation with Joshua. If you were following my twitter feeds you probably saw a few negative posts. We had a great time but there were definitely some challenges we hadn't anticipated including a surprise visit from the stomach flu fairy, me backing the van into the house a few hours before we needed to drive it 8 hours, and shaving around 3 hours off of Joshua's sleep schedule every day until he completely broke down. Aside from that it was great seeing Kerry's sister and Nashville and every second with Joshua was well worth it.
3) I'm still at Zattoo working hard to bring TV in languages I still can't understand to greater Europe. I love working at Zattoo, as after working at so many different types of companies I've decided I'm a startup/small company man. Even with all the turbulence in the economy right now, Zattoo is a perfect fit for me right now as it allows me to help build a small company while maintain some presence of financial stability to my family.
4) Joshua is surprising us at every turn. He can now count to 100 and can write numbers from 1-10. He can also spell most of our names using letter magnets, which I sometimes still can't do.
So thats about it from my end. Things are going well up here in the Arctic. As I said above if you want to keep a closer eye on us check us out on our respective social hangouts. And of course if you every happen to be in Ann Arbor you can always drop by ;)

Joshua's message
From our typing session in the previous post, here is what Joshua typed on my computer (and yes, those are real names below). I'm pretty impressed.

Unix was created by 2 year olds
This is joshua making the next big thing at Zattoo. Believe it or not he actually got some unix commands correct (ls, df). Of course he also typed the entire alphabet, which the terminal didn't like too much. What took me a 4 year degree and 10 years experience my 2 year old was doing after 2 cookies. He got my hair but mom's smarts :)
