Is This What You Call A Family?

It hit me hard today that I have a little family.  Today was a big day for little Blakely.  Katie has been planning this day since ... probably when she was a baby hungry teenager.  We went and got Blakely's new born pictures taken.  I admit that I am not the biggest fan of pictures.  I am perfect at about everything I do except smiling for big pictures.  Luckily we went to a great place called Foto Fly (I am not getting paid to say that) and they did such a great job.  We were not planning on buying any prints on the spot but when I saw our first ever family picture I almost cried ( Katie does not know that so hopefully she really doesn't read these blog entries).  It hit me so hard that this is real, that I am a father, that my family has started.  Such a great feeling. I just remember driving home after seeing all of the great pictures we got on a cd, how much love I have for my wife and baby girl.  I am excited for a awesome weekend and I am proud that I haven't missed a day of writing for a while.  I will have to remind myself soon about getting into Optometry school.  Well it is half time of the BYU game and I sure hope we beat them Aggies.  Here is my family:
