Lila and Mandi turned two on July 25th.  Time certainly does fly  Since it took so long to get the last albums up I thought I would try a previous strategy of event based posting.  The last few weeks have been equally as busy as the ones previous with friends from Arizona visiting, Grandma Dolly visiting, and the girls birthday.  Hopefully the lazy days of summer are approaching and we can slow the pace of things for a bit, at least until school starts and our big boy, Hampton goes off to full day kindergarten; yellow bus and all.  When did we get so old?  There are 47 photos in this album.

It has been more than a while since I have posted photos outside of facebook. I have just spent some much needed time creating a March/April, May, June, and July (split into sub-albums) photo albums.  There are close to 600 photos to look at so feel free to take your time  The kids are growing fast and going through all of these photos just reminds me of how lucky we are to have such fantastic family and friends.  I have nothing at all to complain about.  Hopefully your summer is going as well as ours.  It took way to much work to go through all of these photos so hopefully that means I will be posting more often but that is a promise made many times.  Keep cool and enjoy the photos.

Wow, what a year huh? When I look back on all the photos from this year its hard to think about all that has gone on this year without wondering how we did it; funny how time slows down when you stop to take a look at all that has been accomplished. Click on the photo to see the 239 photos in this months gallery. I hope you all had a happy holiday and new year, thanks for being there when we needed you.

I know its Christmas season but I just finished going through the photos since my last post and I nearly forgot that just a few weeks ago it was warm and sunny. There are around 350 new photos in the gallery from the last two months. I am hoping to get a Christmas card up soon but until then have a happy holiday season and enjoy the photos.

Hi all! The economy shall not bring us down! We just had a 4 day vacation at Sesame Place and we did it for under $1200. On top of that everyone had a great time!

This is the first time I have tried my hand at gardening and all is going well. I have pumpkins, carrots, chives, cucumbers, and zucchini growing well. On the flower side we have morning glories, irises, marigolds, and sunflowers going strong. We also some have other plants from last year which are still going. Everything except the irises were grown from seed. To top it all off my lawn is finally coming together after 3 seeding events.

We are all looking forward to a great summer. Hopefully we will see you all soon for a hotdog and a beer (or a juice box). There are 113 new photos in the gallery for you to enjoy this time around.

I had a fantastic time with my co-workers. It was great to meet and discuss with new people, as well as share some common pride about our workplace. It was a testament to how great it is to work for my company as well as how great the people are who work there. The weather was a bit on the chilly side; I am also still rocking from the rough seas, but I will get over it. Enjoy the photos!

• Info on the cruise ship

I am looking forward to a good year. So far so good. There are around 100 images in this months gallery. Its a smattering but we have been hit up by a few sicknesses and snow days this month so it has been tough to get out of the cabin. The big news for this month is that my company is whisking us away for a cruise to Cozumel for our 25th anniversary. Its a company only event but Carrie, being the amazing and awesome wife she is, graciously said she would manage the troop while I am gone. I am also looking forward to going back to Rochester in a few weeks for the first time in nearly 8 months. It will be good to seem friends and family and soak up some hometown time. I hope to get some great pics this month (Sun and snow in the same month!). I am told I should be blogging more but we’ll see how that goes See you on the flip side!

Finally I had a few minutes to get some pictures up. These are photos from the second half of August and all of September. There are 200 photos in the album for you to look over. We are getting very familiar with our new additions, having 2 birthdays, and generally enjoying life throughout the series of pictures. There is a whole new set of lighting conditions at the new house and hopefully my balance will change as I get used to shooting there. I have been trying to take more photos and I am getting there, slowly. October should be an interesting month and we are look forward to the adventures of fall. I will let the gallery tell the rest. Til next time…

April was a heck of a month. We had three birthday parties, a christening, friends from out of town, reviews at work, and more. I am happy with the way the month went, I was able to make some more money, took around 450 frames, and of course spend quality time with my amazing family. Enjoy the photos in the gallery and I will see you next month (or sooner). If you are part of a social network think about adding me in. You can find me on every major network under my real name or contact me if you can’t find me but would like to.
