GissiSim and Tami. It’s a Baby Boy

GissiSim — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 02:09:47 +0000

So it’s official. My beautiful wife and I just found out today, (yesterday if you want to be technical about it), that we will be the proud parents of a baby boy =)

I just wanted everyone that reads my blog to know that I’m finally coming back after being away for a long time. I know, I know! My first article after my long absence will be a new updated version on how to TweetDeck or Tweet Deck like a Pro #2. Since there have been so so so many advancements in Tweet Deck since my last article, it’s only right to write a better, more up to date one.

For now, please take a look at my little “Baby Boy Site” which I have set up at http://me.gissisim.com/ I’m using MobileMe to run this site. Yes I know it’s just a ugly default baby template, however this site was built with my wife Tami in mind. So she can update it with me!

Thank you guys for keeping up with the site even though I’ve been away for so long However, GissiSim is back! (as a Dad)!

20 week sonar side view of our beautiful baby boy!
