Oh yes, I have gotten the framework and a few photos up in the Photo section on the site. This all is mainly to appease the Grandmother Factor®. Just the basics for now with a pretty slideshow. Plus, it is a nice place for me to glance at while at work. In the future I am hoping to add comments and an RSS feed.
In the meantime, enjoy and feel free to comment on my (and my beautiful SO!) keen ability to produce cute babies.
“It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly.” - Henry David Thoreau
“Much of our activity these days is nothing more than a cheap anesthetic to deaden the pain of an empty life.” – Unknown
“The things you own end up owning you.” - Tyler Durden in Fight Club
It is truly amazing the enlightenment you gain when you come to grips with what is truly important in life. Possessions mean little at the end of the day.
*Of course this does not stop my craving for an iPhone.
I look at the calendar and cannot believe that Matte has been in my life for only 17 days. It truly seems like years ago that I was standing outside the delivery (scared to death) waiting to be called in. When I am holding him in my arms I cannot remember a time where he wasn’t here.
The front pack has to be the greatest invention EVER! I get the boy right up against me AND have my hands free at the same time. After trying many models we found the Baby Bjorn to be the best. Also happens to be the most expensive. Quality does not come cheap I guess. Also got my car outfitted with it’s very own car seat. Even took it down to the local fire station to have them inspect it and make sure everything was installed properly. Anal retentive,maybe, but this is my boy and I will spare nothing for him!
Gina has made an amazing recovery, you would think she was Superwoman. Even after 1 week you would not have known she had just given birth. She is just a dynamo. I am literally exhausted at the end of the day, and she is doing way more. Makes me feel guilty at times. Especially when I wake up to breakfast in bed with the boy that SHE made for me. I just may have hit the lottery with this one.
Isn’t that the BEST view to wake up to? OK, second best…waking up next to her would rank a tiny bit higher. 
It is amazing how an 8 pound little boy who requires you for 100% of his day to day tasks can make you completely forget every worry in the world. I mean seriously, look at this face.
There is no distance too far that I would not walk to make this boys dreams happen.
We have literally taken a BAZILLION pictures of him, along with almost daily trips to Costco for prints. I just need to figure out the right way to display them. Keep looking here and hopefully I will have a gallery setup soon.
So who says great things do not come early?
That is right, a whole week early.
At 6:00am PST on 9/2/07 Matthew Allen Ebert II made his first appearance to the world. He came to us at a healthy 8lbs 2oz and 19 inches long. He is perfectly healthy, with 10 fingers and 10 toes. Not only does he look just like his pops, he already has more hair than him.
We were originally going to name him Pacen Matthew Ebert, however when we first laid our eyes on him Gina remarked that he looks more like a Matthew than a Pacen. I could not agree more, and am over the moon that he will share my name.
Mattie spent his first day resting with Mom and Dad, and then got to spend a good part of the evening getting to know his PopPop and Tutu. They could not be happier!
I will be setting up a picture album online soon (after a little more rest!) that I will share with everyone, but until then below are a couple of pics to give you a glimpse at how wonderful he is. 
Just moments old walking out of the delivery room
The perfect little boy!
Happy family!
That is the look of exhaustion on papa’s face.
