As a professional web developer I have to deal with a fair share of e-mail messages every day. I like to look back at the end of year when I archive my old e-mails and tally up how many I’ve received in the last 12 months — this year it was 5,018 inbound and 2,398 hand-crafted outgoing e-mails for a total of 7,416 or about 30 e-mails sent and received each working day.

On Wednesday we had the privilege of having pictures taken of Emma and our family by Chrissy Klessig’s sister, Erin, who is from Australia and is here visiting family with her husband. It was a blast! Emma did a fantastic job of posing for Erin-not too many smiles, but those big blue eyes of hers were very tuned in to the funny looking lens in her face! Erin did an amazing job of capturing Emma’s beautiful features! We are very impressed by the work Erin does and only wish she was in the States permanently! Thanks, Erin! Be sure to check out our gorgeous little girl! Also, Emma’s friends, Nora Wise and Owen Crammond, will be making their appearances on Erin’s blog in the near future as well!

Megan and I launched our first online business this week, Baby Tattle e-mail birth announcements. For $49.95, you can send a classy custom e-mail to as many contacts as you’d like with photos of your newborn. At the moment we have eight designs available and I will be adding two a week for the next five weeks.

Please take a look and let me know what you think!
