Visiting the Lutedome

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

This past weekend Dayna and Danelle attended a baby shower for Jillian hosted by Elise and Elisabeth (or Liesl and Lizzy Mama as Danelle referred to them).  I went to Tacoma with them in case Dayna needed driver to the hospital, but didn’t really want to stay at the shower, so I wandered around the PLU campus with the camera for a couple of hours.  Of course I should start with the obligatory shot of the rose window.

And one of Marty himself

There were also some nice flowers out and about.

I think this squirrel thought I was nuts.

Get it, nuts, so he looked at me!  And to prove even animals blink whenever you are taking their picture, we have this shot of him.

I’m thinking about getting some of these pretty flowers to grow around our house.

And Morken was looking a little different as I headed back to pick Dayna and Danelle up.

I’d tell you more about the baby shower, but I don’t know anything other than lots of women were there and they had some tasty snacks left when I picked the other two up.  Maybe Dayna will make a post of her own to tell about it.

A Test of Patience

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

If you would like to test your patience, you should try setting up Dominos with a 2.5 year old and a dog wandering around the kitchen.  Especially with a textured kitchen floor.  And I am pretty good at knocking them over myself for the kicker.

Danelle likes to do this though and we do occasionally get to tip them over.

No Baby Yet

No baby yet, but she is definitely growing inside Mommy and should be arriving soon.

Dayna Pregnant

And yes, she is barefoot in this picture, you just can’t see her feet.

Also, Grammie and Papa Boo stopped overnight to visit us.  Danelle loved going out to Chinese last night, especially the sweet and sour “chicken” (which was actually pork).  She also got to try on part of a dress that uses the same pattern her flower girl dress will.

Danelle

It’s a little on the short side so far.

New Server

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

If you are reading this, you are reaching a new server for this blog.  Hopefully everything here is still working.  The old picture gallery is down for the time being.  Some of the best pictures are over at the Picasa Gallery.  Most new pictures will be embedded here for now.  Will see how that goes.

Layout changes

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Those reading the site from the pages here and not an RSS reader (I use Google Reader to keep track of blogs so rarely visit their mainpages) might have noticed an actual picture for the header.  As Debbie noticed, that is a crop from a picture Danelle took by herself.  If I get ambitious I’ll round the corners or something, and may make some other small changes.  We’ll see.  I also added a box in the right hand side with my FriendFeed summary.  Basically FriendFeed aggregates stuff I do on various websites and publishes them all there for anybody that cares to see.  Kind of like the news feed on Facebook, only more open.  If anybody reading this is using Friendfeed or the other tools it references, I’d love to see your feeds, so drop me a line.
