Oh no.. Emily is in da house!! Our little homey is now taking Hip-Hop classes. To say she loves it would be a severe understatement! Check it out:

Emily and Cashew

Emily sure enjoyed horseback riding camp this summer. She rode Cashew again this year. Here's a quick video of her last day:

Goooaaaalll !

Now here's something worth celebrating.. Emily scored her first goal of the 09 soccer season on the first night!

You can check out a few good soccer pics right here.

The 2008 Holiday Season (and a maple dip donut)

Okay, enough of the torture for David and Margy. :) Onward and upward for 2009. I've uploaded a few new photos from recent holiday events. Hope everyone is doing well:

ps. Sorry for the tease Margy, but dang that was one fresh donut!. You would have really enjoyed it. :)

Astronomy Trumps Dinosaurs and Sharks

This one's just for posterity. A week or so ago, Emily completed her first ever school project. Her subject of choice was the origin of the universe. Needless to say there was not one right answer, but she's darn interested in explaining to us that our sun is one of billions of other stars, and that we live in the Milky Way galaxy. Sadly, that was news to my Mom. ;)

Personally I spent my elementary years doing projects on basically two things: sharks and dinosaurs. But hey, astronomy is a-ok with me too. :)

One Tough Cookie

Okay.. it's been another 3 months of neglect. But there are some new pics (with others on the way in the next little while). All of these ones were from July 2008:

You want photos? Boy do I have photos...

Now I could tell you that my computer was stolen, I'd forgotten my login password, or that I was busy fostering world peace, but I'm an honest guy. I just kept looking at the hundreds (literally) of photos sitting on my computer and thinking "getting those up on the net will be a royal pain.. there's just got to be something else I could be doing". But no more. They're up. At least up until the beginning of April. Here's the rundown:

We went to Disneyworld in Florida. Jen, Em and I flew down to Myrtle and drove from there with Howie and Ruthe down to Orlando to meet up with my Mom and Dad (who had driven down). We spent about 5 or 6 days in Fla, two of which were spent at Disney itself. We had an awesome time and Emily (along with all of us) really enjoyed it. We'll definitely try to go back when Em's a bit older. The set of Disney photos can be had right here.

Midway through our week down in Florida, the boys decided we'd take a day to head over to Kennedy Space Center which was only about an hour's drive away. The weather was great and we had a good time there. Lots of neat stuff to see. You can just tell by the picture on the left that the two elders enjoyed themselves. Here's the photo set.


Our Disney trip was bookended by short stays with Howie and Ruthe at their condo in Myrtle Beach. Nice weather for beach walks and plenty of time to rest and relax (and shop of course). The condo was very nice and having a nice big LCD tv in the living room didn't hurt either. Click here for some great photos of Myrtle Beach 08.







I've also got some good photos from a visit to Ruthe and Howie's place. The girls enjoyed dressing up in feather boas and masks. Check them out here.

Some more nice photos of Emily and Sarah (no big shortage of those!) from a visit to Sandy and Paul's place in March are right here as well.

Meredith, Sam and Steve came across the pond for a visit as well. I managed to get some nice photos from dinner and a few during our Father-Daughter walk through the woods. We should really do that more often. :)





So that brings me up to the beginning of April. I've got photos from May and June to post as well, but I haven't quite finished getting them ready. Expect another blog post in a week or so. I don't want to fall of this horse after going thorough all the effort of climbing back on. :)
