I think this is the first photo we have of all three Garner kids together.
Having been the one doing all the house work and cleaning lately this photo hurts.
I think we might have our own little “Hunger Games” later today.

So this is Christmas 2011
December 25th, 2011Gem, Theo, and Clive. Home At Last.
December 18th, 2011
These images are the first images of Clive being home and Gem and Theo meeting him for the first time face to face (if you don’t count facetime on the iPhone which was probably funner because I did a great ventriloquy act with sleeping Clive).
There really is no place like home.
The Newest Edition
December 14th, 2011
Born December 13, 2011 at 3:33 AM. We’re thinking of naming him Clive or Hugh. Haven’t 100% decided, but the kids think he should be named Clive. I still want Frank. So he might just end up as Clive Frank Garner.
Susan is doing great despite having gotten all the way up to delivering him unmedicated only to discover that he was breech frank (another sign his name should be Frank), and having her abdomen cut open for an emergency c-section. She’s amazing. Truly. I feel really blessed.
Dear Santa, How about a sofa?
December 3rd, 2011
Today is going to be a busy day. Here’s the list: Buy Christmas tree, decorate christmas tree, trip to home depot, fix backyard gate/ fence, figure out how to get a massive tree out of the backyard and get the neighbor’s insurance to pick up the tab, family christmas party, drive to christmas party 1.5 hours away, get presents for kids for santa to give at previously mentioned party, work on design for latest themeforest project, design family christmas card…
This is what happens when it’s December and you have 2 weekends left before your wife gives birth.
I must admit today while lying in bed right before getting out I actually was picturing life with this new baby. And I felt excited. Before it’s usually been a heavy weight of all the things I need to get done before our lives get thrown into chaos, and we have to figure out the new normal (I’ve been around this new kid block before).
Anyway, Santa if you’re reading this do you think you can get this sofa down our chimney? Six months ago shopping with Susan at Anthropologie I sat on this sofa and it was a dream. Best seat in the world, but of course because it’s Anthro it’s priced a bit higher than our ikea budget. And after thinking of a million things this morning somehow this one joined the other frazzled thoughts. Now I better get my head out of the cloud and get some real work done.
Merry Xmas.
Great Food and Good Company
November 25th, 2011
Thanksgiving was with the in-laws this year and a pretty good one to boot. There was great food thanks to everyone, and the company wasn’t bad at all.
As you can see in the photos above I am grateful for my family. My lovely pregnant wife has complained little for nine months despite the parasite sucking her life and energy away. We’ve known each other now for 10 years and she’s still my number one friend. I have the cutest and best kids too. They are so good and fun to have around. I can only hope this next one will be as awesome as they are.
Yesterday also was Susan’s 37 week of pregnancy, and I guess that means we got like 3 weeks left. Crazy. I don’t know how to really prepare. Ready or not I guess.
