Just testing

New software ... just testing. This is a picture of Hayden with Cinderella at Cinderella's Castle in DisneyWorld.

New Year's Day

Here's the family January 1, 2006, at the beach by Naples Pier, Florida. We are waiting for the fireworks.

Another First

Add this to the long lists of firsts ... Brendan's first stitches, and our first trip to the emergency room for any of our kids. Brendan fell playing baseball with the neighbors, and needed 17 (!) stitches in his chin.

The funny thing is that he took it better than I would have. While we were checking in at the hospital, he was explaining to the nurse all of the injuries suffered by the Cardinals this season, with a complete breakdown by player, type of injury, and how the injury was suffered. As far as Brendan was concerned, he had just joined an elite club. This tells you (1) why the Cardinals didn't win the series this year; and more importantly, (2) why Brendan rocks.

All are doing well.

Blogging Albuquerque

I'm currently in Albuquerque in the airport, waiting to board the flight home to STL. I've been here since Tuesday for depositions, which were canceled for today due to hurricane Wilma (the defendants and their attorneys are from Tampa), so I'm coming home a day early.

Free wireless is a great invention. Not many airports offer it, because there are so many providers looking to charge for the service. It sure makes waiting for flights much less boring than it was before.

This is my first time to Albuquerque. I didn't get to see too much, due to the work schedule. I did get downtown, and you can't help but see the Sandia mountains, even from the airport Marriott. Nothing too remarkable here. Then again, other than the ocassional mountain range, every city looks the same from the perspective of the airport Marriott.

No pictures, because my camera phone is broken, and I'm living in the denial that I can wait it out until the new Treo comes out in early 2006.

See you all later.

Recent Activity

We haven't posted for a while, so I thought I'd add a few photos from recent outings. In the last few weekends, we've gone to the Zoo, the Forest Park Balloon Race, and Rumbach's Pumpkin Farm.

On another note, for those who have e-mailed or commented, bear with me as we are switching ISP's, and thus e-mail addresses. We'll be back together in no time.

On another note, Blogger's main benefits are that (1) it's cheap (read:free); and (2) it's idiot-proof (read:able to be operated by me). The main drawbacks are that it's public, and you thus get these creepy anonymous spam comments. I can't figure out how to delete them. I think I'm going to turn off anonymous comments for the time being. If it continues, I may just switch to a pay service that doesn't have the public visibility that blogger has.

St. Louis Zoo.

Brendan is debating whether he likes chocolate or vanilla ice cream better. Aren't we all?

St. Louis Zoo, last weekend.

Brendan was adamant about taking a picture of his thumb. As far as we can tell, it's an ordinary thumb. No distinguishing characteristics. It's never been involved in any trauma or other excitement. Apparently he's just a boy who's fond of his thumb.
