2009 Cottage Vacation

It's been awhile since I updated this blog (again), but I'm not as far behind as it might seem. I've been editing photo's like crazy over the last month and I've actually even been uploading them to the galleries on this site as I go through them. Some of you have even found them and commented about it! But I realize that posting them to the blog makes them much easier to view, so I will be making a new post for each album as well. The commentary will be light, so the images will have to speak for themselves! I will be starting with about 8 … Continue Reading ››

Vacation in Jamaica — Day 4

I'm sorry these are taking so long to get out, but I've been crazy busy lately and the photos are taking longer to go through than I expected. And I'm finding more keepers than I expected too (which is a good thing, but makes it more time consuming to process!). Anyway, I'll try to get this trip wrapped up in the next couple of days. So day 4 was a very typical day for us in Jamaica. We got up and went for breakfast. we dropped the kids off at kids camp and went scuba diving (two dives today). When we got off the boat … Continue Reading ››

Total Hard Drive Failure

Total FailureThis will be a much more informative post than I normally write, where the message is more important than the photo. In fact, I only took the photo as an excuse to play with my DIY Macro Studio and my lighting gear. This is important, so pay attention! I recently suffered through that terrible sinking feeling that you only get when you slowly come to the realization that something has gone horribly wrong. Louise went into the office to use our old desktop computer and found only a black screen. Melanie had been playing a game on it … Continue Reading ››

Drumheller with Uncle Rob and Aunt Cyndi

Uncle Rob (Louise's big brother) and Aunt Cyndi came to visit with their new baby Sophie! We all piled into their rental van (yes 4 adults and 3 carseats) and went to Drumheller to see the badlands and the Royal Tyrell Museum. We had to stop at the World's Largest Dinosaur on the way there, and we drove the Dinosaur trail on the way home. Unfortunately the museum was crazy busy, and it was crazy hot in the badlands, but we had a crazy fun day anyway. The hardest part was actually getting everyone in and out of the van! In a strange coincidence this trip was … Continue Reading ››

Andrew’s first trip to Kelowna

We went to Kelowna last week to visit Grandma & Grandpa Phillips' house. Although we had planned to go soon anyway, the timing was set because my brother Ian was visiting from Germany... It was a really great trip and Andrew got to meet his Grandparents, Great Grandma Phillips, Uncle Ian, Aunt Heidi, Uncle Ken, and cousin Hannah. This was actually the first time Melanie had met her Uncle Ian as well, so got to cover off many birds with one stone! There will be a few more albums from this trip posted over the next few days. Between traveling and an intermittent freezing problem with my laptop, things … Continue Reading ››
