So hopefully I'm getting better at this blogging thing. I went to Joseph and Amanda's page and it was all professional and awesome looking and all their pictures were cute and fit with the words. So I downloaded some picture editing software (not really - I just downloaded a program that turns my .doc files into .jpg files - picture editing in MS Word is actually pretty easy) and you can all see the results below.
It is a little unfortunate for Derek that his birthday is 4 days after Christmas and 2 days before New Years. Hopefully he won't hate me too much for delivering him 2 weeks before his due date so that we could get an additional child tax credit in 2005 (he was due on Fri the 13th anyway and we all know that that's not lucky). Anyway, for Derek's birthday this year we went out to lunch with all of the Cooper's at Wingers. The kids love Wingers because the kids meals are really good for kids (even though they're a little expensive for parents). Brian and Janet paid for us all with money that they got for Christmas from Grandpa Johnson. Thanks Grandpa!
This is Jared and Derek at the restaurant.
After lunch Derek got to open presents at Grandma Cooper's house and Grandma James' house. He got a big box of Legos and this cute pushey stroller car (above). I tried so hard to get him to look at me and smile for the picture but almost every time his eyes were half closed or he was wiggling so much the picture was blurry. So, this picture is the best that I can do. If anyone else takes a cute picture of my son, please send it to me. After presents we had cake at Grandma James' house. Below is my best effort at a demonstrating the progression of the fun.

Amanda uses Picasa to do her photo-editing. It's simple, free from Google, and pretty cool. I use Gimp and Irfanview--more powerful, but more complicated.
I looks like Derek has learned to hold a fork in one hand to please the adults and then eat with the other hand.
