With the help of our families, Erica and I have moved into our new house in Mansfield, Tx. So far we are enjoying it very much as it has lots of space for us to roam around. I definitely enjoy my media room as everyone probably already knows that. My office is set up at the moment with an out door patio table. This is actually working out to my benefit as it holds the server very nicely and flat. Jordan and Erica went for a walk around the neighborhood for the first time and he went to the store today. This is a good sign as it means there is life outside of the house :) Thank you again to everyone that helped us with the move because we definitely had more stuff than we imagined...

Jordan is sound asleep at the moment :) and I believe Erica is also checking for light leaks in her eye lids.

I have added some more pictures into Jordan's gallery. Click here These are mostly images from the hospital time when he was being born :) Pretty neat to look at these pictures and remember how quickly things progressed. Jordan is still healthy. He eats, sleeps, and dirties his diaper...a full day in his mind.

Erica, Jordan and I were finally able to be released from the hospital this evening. Dan and Nancy stayed with us the entire afternoon and helped release a lot of the worry with the joking and conversations. My annex of the Uplinger family is extremely blessed to have such a great support group of family members on both sides. I am unsure how others have done it without their own family groups supporting them through the process.

Jordan did get a clean bill of health and when we got him home, he made his entrance known with a dirty diaper! And for everyone who wants to know, yes I did help change the diaper multiple times! hehe. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to upload more of the images from the camera to the website for everyone to view. Time to get back to heating up some dinner for Nancy, Erica, and I.

Everything appears to be going well with Jordan. We are in the hospital for another night since the 48 hour period they like to monitor the baby will be at 2am. They should be releasing us if all looks well with him. I have posted a few more pictures taken from my iPhone. I have can't upload the pictures taken from my dad's camera because I forgot the cable that connects to the computer. Erica is doing well and we have been able to walk around the hallways so that she does not feel confined to this huge closet. Anyways, to get to the pictures you can click on the gallery link at the top and then on Jordan's album! Thank you everyone who has called us/emailed us/or visited us over the past few days. These have meant a lot to both Erica and I.

Baby Jordan Gerald Uplinger has arrived and is 8 lbs 5 oz at birth. He was 21 inches long and has some long brown hair. He and Erica are doing wonderful at the moment and he looks like a stud! Anyone with baby girls need to watch out when he turns 16. Fair warning :) I have posted only a few pictures at the moment that were taken off my phone to the website. The link is provided below. We thank everyone for their kind words and thoughts. We will try to keep everyone posted as things happen.

Title says it all. That was a great play at the end of the game to win the game. Mack Brown said it right that the team with the ball at the end of the game would win the ball game. The main problem with ESPN is that they don't like teams that aren't big schools. Texas Tech gets no respect from the USC loverboys at ESPN. For the longest time this season we have been ranked under USC because of ESPN's love for them. Finally Tech (who didn't lose to an unranked High School team) is going to be ranked above USC. Tech still has a lot to prove in the next few weeks but already ESPN is saying tech will lose. Did they not watch the same game that was on tv last night? My question is why won't tech jump to 1st place like UT did when they defeated the number 1 team in the nation before having to play OSU?

Another security fix was needed and the site is now fixed...only took 15 minutes

Erica and I went to the doctor's office this morning for a sonogram and got some good pictures from the doctors. This is a picture of his foot...apparently he has 5 toes on it and it's big enough to kick Erica in the ribs often.

The next image is of Jordan giving the camera a kiss...he was sticking his tongue out and everything during the sonogram

Well, Erica and I are now proud owners of a house. It is very cool and has a lot more space for our quickly growing family. My Dad and I were up there this past weekend painting the baby's new room and fixing some mortar on the outside wall that was damaged. Also we moved everything from the storage unit to the garage with the help of Dan which made things go a lot quicker and was a great help to me.

I have updated the website code...if you see anything let me know.
