I'm a DADDY!!!

I couldn't be happier and more excited to announce to the blog world that I'm a daddy! Our daughter "Ellary Jude Franger" was born on Saturday, June 12th at 2:10AM. A whopping 7lbs 15oz and 20.5 inches long!
I'm working on starting a brand new "family blog" to post all our baby pics and stories to. Hope to have it up and running shortly... will keep ya posted. In the meantime, here are just a quick few of the thousands of photos we've taken in the last week.

Mt. Hood cover image of Columbia Gorge Magazine

For you Columbia Gorge and Pacific Northwest blog followers, you might recognize this months cover image of the beautiful Columbia Gorge Magazine!
It's my image of wildflowers and Mt. Hood that I took August of 2009 while hiking the Timberline Trail (around the perimeter of Mt. Hood). It looks great on the cover!

If you'd like to see more images from that trip, here are the links-

(I still need to blog day 4 photos... someday!)

Here is the original un-cropped cover image-
