So what do superman and I have in common?
We can both be in more than one place at the same time.
My brother Matt is getting married this weekend and due to Ruby’s early appearance I won’t be able to attend the wedding, it’s in Guelph.
So my family, being my family, did the next best thing.
- They got a picture of me
- blew it up to life size
- tiled it across 8 large sheets of paper
- printed it out
- and glued it to a large piece of cardboard.
So come Saturday afternoon I may be standing up with my brothers as a groomsman after all.
The original picture had me holding Marla’s pregnant stomach. Marla has since been cut out of the picture so now it just looks like I’m trying to grab everyone’s package:)
I can’t possibly see that getting abused at the reception:)
If you would like your own life sized Chris Holliday cut out please feel free to contact Marla, she will be distributing them.
I hear it’s the hottest gift you can get your lady friends for this years valentines day.

Here are some Photo’s from the past 2 weeks:
 With Dad |
Here’s a photo of Ruby and dad.
As you can see, both of us have plenty of hair.
The white dot on the side of Ruby’s head is Velcro (TM) which helps hold Ruby’s shades onto her head.
Usually Ruby and Dad will have time together after she has eaten.
The astute among you may also see that I am sporting a pretty sweet mustache that was meant for Matt’s wedding. |
 Resting with soother |
Here is Ruby sleeping.
She is sporting a wool touque, and fleece vest.
You can also see her holding her own soother with her left hand.
This is a very advanced maneuver and probably means she has more of her mom than dad in her:) |
 Wearing shades |
Here’s Ruby under a UV lamp.Evidently almost all premature babies are deficient in something called “belly ruben” (sp?). This has something to do with jaundice. This condition has since cleared up
The white things on her eys are her shades. I think they may be Oakley’s.
You can also see the IV in her head, I’m told that the head is often the easiest place for the nurses to find a vein to put the IV in.
The paste like substance on her face helps hold in a feeding tube that goes from nose to stomach. The tube has since been removed. |
 - Kent eating
|
This is our cat Kent.
He has nothing to do with Ruby, he’s just on here because he is basically awesome in every way.
In this photo you can see his vertical black stripes in his coat.
I’m no vet but I believe these are racing strips and they help Kent to run fast. |
