  • Fathers Day Weekend Photos

    Fathers Day weekend was a combination of Fathers Day on Sunday, and our 6 Year Anniversary on Saturday. Thanks to Brenda’s Mom Jane and her sister Toni, we had a full 27 hours of freedom!

    We left on Saturday at 10am, went to see a movie, checked into a nice hotel downtown, had lunch and then just relaxed in the room and ordered room service. We didn’t return until Sunday at 1pm and then spent the rest of the days with the boys at the park.

    Below are a few photos, you can find the rest on SmugMug.


  • I know that I stopped! Unless…

    So about a week ago Brenda received a ticket in the mail. The notice said that she was caught rolling through a red light while making a right turn. She was caught by a camera ticketing system in the intersection. Included in the notice was a photo of her car in the intersection, and a very nice shot of her license plate.

    She was kind of upset about it since it is an automatic $100 ticket and argued that we should contest the ticket and see if they would let her off on account of her good driving record.

    I started thinking and remembered that most of the time now, you can actually go on-line and see a small movie of what happened.

    So I said “You know what, you’re right. Let’s go on-line and watch the video of what happened and then we’ll have what we need to fight it”. She turned around and said “What video?”. I explained, and slowly a sly smile appeared on her face.

    So we both went over to the computer and I typed in the website listed on the notice and entered her license plate and violation number. Up came the following video. Her car is the black one all the way on the right.

    You make the call. Did she make a proper and complete stop?

    Needless to say, we paid the ticket.


  • A Few Weekend Photos

    We did absolutely nothing this weekend, except stay inside. Not just because we were exhausted from the week, but it was still snowing and the roads were in bad shape. All the more reason to stay in and be lazy (or at least as lazy as you can be with two boys running around). 

    There are more photos on SmugMug.

  • New Family Photos


    On Saturday we decided to try again getting some photos of the boys as well as an updated family photo. They boys were GREAT and just seemed to love not only being outside, but playing with leaves (a new experience for them). 

    You can see the best of them on SmugMug.
