June 2000
The birth of Alex, sunrises at Lookout Mountain Park, sunsets over the mountain in our backyard and the slow days of summer at home in Phoenix…
July 2000
A visit from Mom and Scott, trips to Cave Creek, Bartlett Lake, and Tombstone, Arizona, and some work photos including, “Air Duane,” and life at home during the hot July days of Phoenix, Arizona in the year 2000.
August 2000
The first annual ConnorFest, a celebration of our oldest, Connor Welsh - I figured he could use some 1:1 time with the new baby at home, a work trip to see my Team in Wisconsin, personal trips to Flagstaff, the Phoenix Zoo (on the hottest day I’ve ever experienced), and a train ride to the Grand Canyon, it was good fun…
September 2000
September was a busy month, I started a new semester with my MBA program, work was pretty hectic, Debbie was having a lot of seizures and we had a newborn baby at home to tend to - not a dark period, just a blurry one…
October 2000
Finally some cooler weather…. Kyle came for a visit and we actually hit a big monsoon near Tucson, a trip to the Sonoran Desert Museum (an amazing place if you ever get a chance to visit, I love Tucson! Adorable pictures of Alex in his stocking cap, and Alex’s first Halloween; I think his Aunt gave us the Winnie the Pooh costume, but it also may have been my Mom who bought it, I can’t remember…
November 2000
November was a busy and fairly quiet month. Debbie was suffering from a lot of seizures; we bought a house a few blocks from the one we were renting and I ended up moving everything myself because money was tight; I rolled heavy furniture down the street in the middle of the night, it’s a thing with me, I guess LOL! Add moving (without any help) on top of work, MBA program, newborn baby at home, Connor’s Dad moving to Phoenix and we were in the middle of a long and expensive custody battle and an epileptic wife who’s seizures were out of control - yep, that’s what big swatches of my life have been like, never a moment of peace…. Still, I loved owning the new place and the sweet pool setup we had! Even still, Alex was the happiest and sweetest baby ever, I treasured every minute of my chaotic life! I also loved watching Connor play soccer, it was a thing of pure entertainment - while the other kids were chasing the ball and running around, he would lay down and play with the dirt or start fighting imaginary fights as a Power Ranger - all three of our kids are Autistic; we didn’t figure Connor’s out until he was an adult…
December 2000
Hanging out at home with the family…
