A.J.'s first post

Hi dudes,

I'm watching a hump back whale movie. Some of the oil is coming out of the ocean. manta rays are around. All manta rays are nice.

I finally finished first grade yesterday. I just saw a guitar shark! Next week I'm starting ycamp.

love,
A.J.

Short Trip Home

Finally got another video for you.  It's basically an overview of our time in Missouri (Kansas and Illinois, too) from last summer. Enjoy!

 

"...in the merry, merry month of May."

Well the pace of this month hasn't exactly been like a stroll through the park, I can tell you that. It started out with Bethany spending Mother's Day weekend doing fieldwork at Catalina. As soon as she got home on Mother's Day, she and the boys had to take me to the airport as I had to spend 2 weeks on an exam in Phoenix. I just got back from there yesterday and tomorrow Bethany is flying to the east coast to attend Jon's graduation in New Haven! She's excited to get to go as she's flying through JFK airport and will get to see a little bit of NYC.

A couple of photos then I gotta run.

First up the boys playing out back with our neighbor, Eddie. His family lived downstairs from us, but just bought a house and moved up the road a bit.

Next, we tagged along on a fieldtrip that one of Bethany's classes went on down to Newport. The boys had fun in the low tide.

Caption this photo

Here's a good one with AJ in his new t-ball uniform. It's pretty funny on its own, but I want everyone to put your own caption or funny interpretation of this photo in the post comments.

 

Part 2--A little horsin' around!

In Colorado actually; this is from the return trip.
Enjoy!

The Trip to Missouri: Part 1

I've begun using Bethany's new computer to assemble our vacation videos from last year.
Not in any particular order, but I'll put together various segments and then edit together a complete DVD when all the segments are finished. First up is our day in St. Louis which we spent at the City Museum. Enjoy!

New Laptop

Bethany got her new laptop today.  It's a tablet PC, which means it has a touchscreen that can rotate and act like a writing slate.  It's very cool, here's a picture.
