Morning on Chimney Rock
Chimney Rock State Park near Asheville, NC features a 315 foot granite monolith. The rock is accessible via elevator and provides stunning views of the nearby countryside. The park was privately owned until 2007, when the State of North Carolina purchased it from a family for $24 million. The park offers hiking trails for all skill levels, spectacular views, and a 404-foot waterfall, Hickory Nut Falls.
Ultrasound
The most important photograph I never took.
Emilia and I had our first visit with the baby doctor today. The doctor performed an ultrasound and we also were able to hear the baby’s heartbeat for the first time. So I present to you, Baby Mahoney. A very robust 3.39cm long at 10 weeks and 2 days old and the heartbeat at a very healthy 170 beats per minute. Is it too early to start spoiling him or her?
One year
Celebrating our first year together as husband and wife, we went camping at East Fork State Park near Cincinnati over Labor Day weekend.
Here we are at the lake enjoying the sunset together and contemplating the rest of our lives, which will become even more special. Baby number one is on the way, due in April.
