Nature

These are some old and new photos I've neglected to put up. For the most part I hope you enjoy them, although the last one is likely to be the least favorite.

Summertime, Summertime, Sum, Sum, Summertime

Shelly and the kids were able to come up for the week to get away from Kirk so he could study for some things coming up at school. We had a pretty good time together and went back to the train station with Kenny for the third time. Everytime he comes up he asks to go see the "big train!" I think we've created a monster! Ahhh well, we have loads of fun with them and him anyway.

The Fredericksburg Train Station

What do you think Buddy?

That's a looooong train!

Mmmm, a Carl's Milkshake

New iPod!

"... Computer users have discovered that its vast storage space makes it a useful vault for huge digital files—the makers of the "Lord of the Rings" movies used iPods to shuttle dailies from the set to the studio." - Newsweek

How awesome is that? Very awesome I say (but not in the way God is awesome ... doesn't even come close). The new iPod is slimmer and incorporates the 4 buttons (menu, play/pause, next and previous) into the scroll wheel itself a la iPod Mini. It will also cost on $100 less for each version(40GB - $399 and 20GB - $299) and will have 50% better battery life (from 6 hours up to 12). The only thing it is missing now is WiFi (not that the RIAA would let that happen ... unless it is encrypted, hmmm).

Just for You ... (and Jennie if she'd have asked)

I put this up just for my sister who seems to be the only person who stays up later than I do. Time to go to bed Shelly ...

Dad being photographed for the Newspaper.

The Soderholm Studio ... the reason Dad was being photographed ... I designed the informational postcard. I'll get a better picture of it up when I have the time to take a better picture of it.

That's all for tonight

I should have gone to bed an hour ago and now I'm starting not to be tired (bad sign). Anyway, I think I've done enough posting for one day and I'll leave you all with more than enough quality, yes, quality pictures to download to your hearts content ... (ok, only God can make your heart content but you know what I mean Shelly and Kirk).
