It's A Clark's Life

The Surf Studs of Sales and Marketing

While the photos may not indicate that we actually had two days of really productive meetings, I think I need to make it clear right up front that we did.  We just managed to squeeze in a little surfing between meetings and dinner.  The proper way to describe the situation is that we worked hard and played hard.

Now, down to the surf'n.  Don't confuse the surfing that you see on ESPN with what we were doing.  Those guys are riding huge waves and focused on staying alive.  As you can see here we were riding very small waves, and Ray is intently focused on, well, the enjoyment of life.

He keeps growing and growing and growing.  Now at nearly 17 pounts he is 85th percentile for both height and weight.  More importantly though, he is an awesome baby.  So good, that we often wonder if we should have a second, because this is too good to happen twice.  And, it's tough to imagine Kath being any happier.

I personally also think it's tough to imagine a cuter kid.  But, then again I am just a touch biased.  If you want to verify, check out this link:  Dylan at 4.5 Months

A Snowy Saturday Morn'n

While living in Michigan in the winter pretty much stinks, it does have it's moments of brilliance that are absolutely priceless.  A couple Saturdays ago was one of those moments.  Over night a snow storm passed through that was right on the tipping point of being a rain storm, which meant we got a pile of heavy sticky snow.  This by itself would have been a pretty sight, but following the storm came crisp, clear, blue skies, of which are rarely seen in these parts between the months of November and April.  The sight was something to behold, and enough to start pulling the neighbors out of hibernation and back onto our Leave it to Beaver-esque street to chat and enjoy the splendor of the morning.

Little Dylan even made the trek out into the snow with Mom and enjoyed the moment.  It's almost as though knew as well what a special morning we were enjoying, as his little eyes darted around admiring each shimmering tree branch.  Max, of course, enjoys any morning when he can run around in the snow, particularly with the neighbor kids.
