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. :)

Playing Catch-Up

Believe it or not, there are now almost 250 new photos up on the Flickr site as of this morning. I won't go into what they all are, but I'll point you to the various photo sets for you to check out at your leisure. Hopefully it won't be another 3 month dry spell before posting new ones! Here are the sets:

Leaf Fight!

Well.. Fall is upon us and Christmas is coming fast. Not much to spout off about right now. Too much work and too little sleep, like always. Emily's enjoying school and learning in leaps and bounds. Even with all the hard work at school, she sure knows how to have fun. There are a few good pics of a leaf fight at Nonno's house a couple of weekends back. No shortage of smiles and rosey cheeks on that day. :)
