Jonas Michael Maxfield

Today is the first day of Jonas Michael Maxfield's life. It was an amazing day. Elizabeth is the strongest woman I've ever seen and Jonas was a champ too. He's a healthy little guy weighing in at 8lbs 13oz and 20" long. Children are a blessing from the Lord and I have never fully realized that until this day. May God bless you someday with the gift of a child. Here are some pictures of the little fighter and his Ma n' Pa.

Election 2008

The election is only 4 days away now and will probably be one of the most important elections in the history of our country. This years election raises a lot of issues for people, christian or non, black or white, male or female. Here's a video of one of my favorite pastors, explaining what the issues of this election are and how Christians are called to act.

The Undead

Our pastor's anniversary happens to be on Halloween so every year they throw a party. It was a week early (you didn't miss Halloween). This years theme was Zombie. Liz went as Bare Foot and Pregnant Zombie and I went as Jack Shepherd Zombie.

Vancouver '08

We recently took a trip to Vancouver to see how people live in the great white north. Turns out they live pretty much like us. That whole metric system is pretty handy too, you actually know how far a distance is, the numbers aren't just pulled out of a hat. I'd like our next presidential election to be all about who will adopt the metric system for the US. Here's some pics of us enjoying the freedom that the metric system allowed us to have.

Updated Patio Shots, the 5th fairway at Augusta, and a man child

Genoveva requested some shots with the big pots we put on our patio so here you go. The grass is looking awfully good right now so I couldn't pass up taking a few shots of that too and as an added bonus, a picture of a man trapped inside of a little boys body.

Some of the new pots and a cow hiding under a blue tarp

If you look close enough you can see nothing but grass

To my fans

To all my fans,

I would like to issue a formal apology. You may have noticed over the last year or so that there was a certain grammatical error on our blog. Previously, under the title of our blog it read "we are the maxfield's and this is our blog". It should have read "we are the maxfields and this is our blog". I ask your forgiveness as I have recently come into my own with the use of apostrophes and when to and when not to use them. I'm sorry if I have let any of you down. Please forgive me.

To cheer you up after this crushing news, here is a picture of one of my heroes.

Here's our little boy. These were taken about 10 weeks ago.

I think he's got my nose.

He's all man

Bulge

Liz's belly is getting bigger, here is our first belly picture...I know what you're thinking, I'm sorry that I'm such a slacker. She's so cute though. God is good. 72 days until D-Day

Earth, Patio & Fire

This last weekend we had a work party for my birthday and tons of friends and family came over and blessed us with a bunch of help. We managed to finish the patio and paint the outside of the garage, and finish painting the house. Thanks again for all who helped out. Here are some pictures of the finished product.

The huge pile of pavers just waiting for us

Su..Su..Sudio...ohhhh oohhhh

My dad and I have recently started working on converting our garage to a new art studio for Liz. I'd like to get this done and have the basement converted by the time the baby comes. Raise your hand if you think that will happen. Me neither. Here's some photos of the progress so far.

Somebody didn't square up the door properly, that really sucked.

Still working on the door. That's a window framed out to the left.

The mess...

The window installed on the east side of the garage.

Gotta keep my baby warm.

Some wiring and stuff.

Our baby is bigger than yours!

Yeah that's right, you heard me. We're having a baby. Liz is 7 weeks pregnant and the baby is the size of a ladybug I hear. That's about a 1/4" for those of you who don't know what a ladybug looks like. Next week our baby explodes to about a 1/2". He/She is becoming so big!

Model Remodel

Here's our new kitchen everyone. It's been a long, tedious, and often hate filled process but it has turned out well and we're still married. Just in case you were wondering, Liz keeps our kitchen looking this good all the time, its not just for the photo shoot.
