Our website has been down for a while, and you will notice it looks quite a bit different right now. In a classic “the cobbler’s children have no shoes” move I have neglected this site for a while because I’ve been working on other sites for my web design business.
So, I’ll keep working on it, but I figured something not looking right is better than nothing at all.
This weekend we had the pleasure of attending a family reunion on Holly’s side. This was a gathering of all of Holly’s mom first cousins. We met up in Lake Whitney, TX and had a grand old time. I put my off camera flashes to work and they performed admirably.
View the photos. Watch the Slideshow. Order prints from Snapfish.
I’ve a little bit of new camera equipment to build up my photo game. I’m trying to get better with light. I’ve been inspired by a website called Strobist, that’s all about using off camera flash to light your pictures. I took some fun shots, mostly of the kids, and figured it was time to share. Enjoy.
We continued our tradition of trick-or-treating with Andy and April this year. We had a great time raiding their neighborhood for candy. Austin and Grady were old pros, and Abbey figured it out quickly.
All the photos are here one-by-one or as a slideshow.
Last weekend I joined my dad and brothers for a birthday gift to ourselves: a quick trip to Colorado Springs. We did the whole trip for less than $250/person including flight, hotel, and car. Well worth it.
People keep asking where we got such a good deal and the answer is Site59. It only does last minute travel packages for this weekend and next weekend. Also, you have to get at least 2 of these 3: a flight, hotel, or car. But, if that fits your requirements, you can get some screamin’ deals.
Here’s a couple other tricks I have:

For those of you who know us well, you know that church is a huge part of our life. In fact, our biggest source of apprehension about moving home to Texas was wondering whether God would provide a community of believers anywhere near as great as our church in Seattle. As usual, inspite of our lack of faith, God was faithful.
The first week after we moved into our house we sought out a new church. Our old church was a founding member of a church planting network called Acts 29. I checked out their website and found Providence Church. We’ve never looked back. Read the rest of this entry »
My brother has become quite a photographer. At Thanksgiving we had him take some portraits of us and loved the results so much we handed out many prints as gifts. I finally put them up for all to enjoy.
This week was one of those weeks that made you say, “Our kids are growing up so quick!” Read the rest of this entry »
Just in time for Christmas, we finally got some pictures up from Thanksgiving.
We had a great time with family. While visting Holly’s parents on the ranch, Jamie killed his first deer and turkey. Ask him to tell you the turkey story, it’s worth a laugh. All the pictures are here.
