Reading with a vengeance…
By · CommentsHolly got Sam a new book today, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. He got the book about 3:30pm this afternoon and basically read non-stop until a little after 8pm. In those 4-1/2 hours he tore through almost 200 pages. Instead of Holly or I reading to him tonight, he sat down with his book while I got some time to read mine. We both sat on his bed and read until Holly came in to say goodnight after reading to Evan. We had to tell him to put the book down with about 20 pages to go.
Guess who’s getting up early tomorrow?
Found this while cleaning…

Amazing what a person can find when doing a little cleaning. I found an old camera while cleaning my office and took a quick peak at the CF card inside. I’ll post a couple more later this week.
Happy New Year!
By · CommentsTo all my family and friends, Happy New Years everyone. Normally I would have a very nice post, maybe a nice picture too, but this year I’m spending it fixing a broken cost roll-up report that didn’t fire off correctly. Hope everyone had a better night than I did!
Here’s to hoping that 2012 only goes up from here.
The best present this year…
By · Comments
I have to say this was my favorite present this year. Not because it’s a Lego Santa Yoda (because that’s cool enough alone). But because Sam gave this to me from his heart. He got this on one of his advent days, but remembered how cool I thought it was. So he decided to give it to me instead for Christmas. Gifts from the heart will just about trump anything. Thanks Sam!
Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Evan tried to open the truck door with his face. He didn’t do a very good job.
Happy Birthday Dad!

The boys were supposed to help pick out a picture to wish Papa a happy birthday and they found this instead. Hope your house didn’t blow away to the lands of Oz from the weather reports we heard. The boys can’t wait to see everyone at Christmas (the reason may not be the one you really want to hear [*cough* presents *cough*].
Win a big hand at the poker table for me!
A couple of Christmas ideas…
By · CommentsHolly has been bugging me, because everyone has been bugging her, on some ideas for Christmas.
Lens cap holder. One of the small things I didn’t think was a big deal until I started to do more and more photography.

Lens for your iPhone. Seems kind of weird when I have a nice camera, but there are times when I only have my iPhone with me. The best camera is sometimes the one you have with you.

NCIS. Ask Holly about this sometime and she’ll give you a quick answer about whether or not she’s seen an episode or two with me. Looking for Season 7, 8, or 9.
12 QT mixing bowl… just to mix stuffing. Ok, Holly could use it too. But she’ll have to ask really, really nice.

The dream item….
Canon 580 EX II Speedlite flash. Some day, some way.
