Working Weekend
It was back to work this weekend after a fun trip to New York City to visit Patricia last weekend. I’m finally just getting to download the pictures after all the painting (Thanks Mom!! and yard work (YUCK!!). One thing you can always count on when going to New York to see Patricia is a…
Read MoreOn To Month Six
Reality is definitely setting in as we enter the sixth month. Those nine months are more important for the parents-to-be than for the baby, at least I think. You get little moments along the way that each serve to reinforce the idea in your brain that, ‘yes, we are going to be parents’. First it…
Read MoreSeattle – Tacoma
We added a few more frequent flyer miles to our tally this past week by taking a trip out to Seattle-Tacoma. The primary reason for the trip was to attend a wedding along the Hood Canal. Jared, one of our friends that we met in Denmark, picked a very beautiful (if not a little chilly)…
Read MoreLots of Pics
I just posted a bunch of new pics from our trip this summer and from Christmas. The links are on the right, but here’s a couple to take you right to them as well. http://dougandchristine.smugmug.com/Vacation/681923 http://dougandchristine.smugmug.com/gallery/6971112_UBGxA And specially for Becki, I’ve put your wedding photos up since they got removed from my old site. http://dougandchristine.smugmug.com/gallery/6974097_oQCrj…
Read MoreTribute to the Plow – Oh How I Hate Thee
Me and whoever is driving the vicious plow that patrols our neighborhood have gotten off on the wrong foot now that winter has officially begun. Every time he drives by a cacophony of four letter words just flies out of my mouth. I’m not sure, but I think I might have even had a dream…
Read MoreTurkey Time
The turkey met its match this November (see picture below). We celebrated our first Thanksgiving in our new home this year with 10 at the table in the “Doily Room”. Christine’s parents came for a couple days from Ohio and we made enough food to feed a small army. I don’t think we’ll need to…
Read More35th Wedding Anniversary Surprise
If anyone has been checking my blog recently I’m sure you have noticed that the frequency that I have been posting blog entries has decreased quite a bit recently. This can easily be explained by the fact that up until last weekend the room that the computer resides in had a mere 3 inches of…
Read MoreFall Foliage
I realize I haven’t been posting very much since we returned from our trip. But that doesn’t mean that we haven’t been doing anything. In fact, I feel like we might be even more busy, which I didn’t think was possible. It doesn’t help that the room where the computer sits is lacking insulation and…
Read MoreZion
We hiked to the top of Angels Landind this morning. The last half mile was about 3-5 feet with a couple thousand plus feet drop off ok either side. Add to that the necessity to practically crawl in most spots and it was both scary and tiring. But also rewarding… The view was an amazing…
Read MoreGrand Canyon
We left the Grand Canyon this afternoon, but instead of heading to Page as planned we arrived a day early in Zion. We had a great hike (Cape Final) yesterday with amazing views. Today we were pretty beat and we spent a good chunk of the day just relaxing and reading at Point Imperial, which…
