Since we are on family vacation in Florida, we decided to do a 3d ultrasound so Anna’s family could witness Zoe first hand.  I’ll let the pictures and video speak for them selves, but we learned today that she looks like her dad (me!), she is stubborn, and likes to hold her hands by her face.  She is 28 weeks along at this point and is due February 12, 2010.

2009 Cincy Reef Frag Swap

As the Program Director for Cincy Reef, I am mostly responsible for organizing the annual frag swap.  We worked really hard to make this our best swap yet and we think it was!  We estimated around 500 people over the course of the day.  The raffles and silent auction went smoothly and there was plenty of hobbyist action on the floor!  We had 11 vendors, plus the Newport Aquarium’s mobile shark touch tank!  We are already planning for next year, so keep an eye out for the details!

Finally, here are some pictures of my latest coral acquisitions. Some of these are from the swap, some are from prior to the swap since I knew I would be busy.

Today we found out the wookie is a wookette.  Here are the pictures.

I have lots of pictures from MACNA I will post, along with videos.

Edit 2009-10-05: Someone at work was having trouble seeing the face in the 3d image, so I outlined what I see.  As you can see, I think the baby will have a claw.
