Merry Christmas!

This is my favorite Christmas song...Hope you enjoy your holiday!

Santa Butch and Poppy

During soccer season, Anni would run the other if Butch got wihin 50 yards of her. Now we can't keep her away from him.
We took Poppy to the Gonzaga game for his birthday, as you can tell our color is Crimson...

First Snow of the Season

The view from our front porch.

The elusive flying saucer!

Tycho was a big help shoveling the sidewalk

Crashing saucer!

Bringing in the tree

We think our tree is cool...

The tree lighting crew...

Anni was very excited that she got to top off the tree

No, the tree is not leaning, our house is...

Soon after this picture was taken, everyone cracked...

Star Wars and Halloween

31 years after the original Star Wars came out, our kids are dressing as Darth Vader (Max) and Han Solo (Tycho). For an interesting frame of reference, that is akin to me, at the age of 5, dressing up as Charles Foster Kane from Citizen Kane. Needless to say, that didn't happen.

Annika is going for the more traditional, at least in this part of the country, and dressing up as a Coug cheerleader.

And here is everybody with the pumpkins they designed.

Photo/Slide Project

One of the projects I have been meaning to get rolling on is scanning all these prints and slides from my folks and Amy's folks. This is one of the first pictures I pulled out of the box, last year for Dad's memorial service, and I am still amazed by this photo every time I look at it.

So this winter I will be starting to scan and log all these (over 1200) slides and prints. I am logging a lot of the details with the goal having a database of all of these photos for future reference, be it within the family or for some other use. Any guidance from any of you would be greatly appreciated if you have ever undertaken a similar project...
