Our Wonderful Okapis

My, my, my, I certainly didn't expect to be setting up a new section of the web site for Okapi pictures so early, but thankfully Elijah and Jordyn are doing amazingly well. For those of you who have visited before and would like to see the pregnancy section (or those who didn't even know it existed) including any sonograms and the calendar of photos of Giokazta as she became more and more pregnant, I did not erase it. Feel free to check it out if you want.

There are a few things you can do now that you are here. [Reminder: While viewing the images in this site, don't forget to put your mouse over each photo so you can see the captions of the pictures to find out who is in it and what is going on.]

Giokazta was born on December 18, 1970

Jeremy was born on December 22, 1970

We became engaged on December 23, 1998

We were married on October 3, 1999

On December 17, 2002 our Okapis were born!!!

On January 17, 2003 our little Okapis came home!!!

  • How it happened: Read the Giokazta, Jeremy, Elijah and Jordyn Birthing Story - an intense week-long experience that was a roller coaster ride of highs and lows and in betweens. It will not only describe the experience we had in the hospital but also the development of both Elijah and Jordyn.
  • Pictures: Check out our Okapi Gallery collection including pages of photos of our darling little Okapis.
  • Mini-movies: Check out our Okapi Mini-Movie Collection - 20 second mini movies of our newest family members.
  • Films: Check out our brand new Okapi Film Festival -
  • Growth: Find out how they are developing in terms of weight and height.
  • Perspective: Do you want to see the one picture that will put how small they were when they were born in perspective?
  • New home: Check out pictures of the home we are buying in Baldwin, Long Island (though, of course, since it is not ours yet you're technically seeing the insides of a stranger's home - but they were nice enough to let me take pictures).
  • Okapis: If you haven't been here before (or just plain forget), find out why we refer to them as Our Okapis.
