A Blog?
Hello ya’ll! I was thinking about starting up a blog of my own even though I’ll only be able to update it for a few months before the mish. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had some name suggestions for the website address or the blog in general. That’s kind of what’s holding me up, I’m trying to think of a good name cuz once it’s picked, it’s there man. So if anyone had some suggestions they’d be greatly appreciated. Have a nice day mi familia!
The missing photos
Who knows what the heck these two are doing. Seeing who can touch their nose with their tongue? Maybe catching mosquitos? Your guess is as good as mine. Taken 5 September 2006, at 4:35pm. And what do you know? Just realized it’s Leap Year Day… or… whatever. How many times do you get to post on February 29th? (And Matt… we all know once every 4 years… you don’t have to tell us)

All about the cold
So, this weekend I called Nicholas a ‘Northman’. Told him I was kind of proud of it as in this regard he is somewhat taking after me. And what does he do to earn this title? He likes to go around in the Michigan winter claiming he doesn’t need his coat. Often, we’ll make him take it with him, but then he never really puts it on, he just drapes the hood over the top of his head and lets the coat hang down his back. Even yesterday, when going to church, it was below 5º, wind chill around -20º, I’m sure sure he would have preferred to leave his coat in the car.
When I picked him up from karate this evening, it was a balmy 8º. I asked him half jokingly where his coat was, and I was surprised when he actually said he left it inside and we had to go back and get it. I said, “I’m surprised you even have it.”
To which he responded that he had meant to leave it in the car but he just forgot. And did he put it on as we walked back out? Nope. Said he didn’t need it. I said, “Dude, it’s like 8º.”
He replied, “Feels more like 30º to me.” As if 30º is some heat wave or something.
Little Artist
In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a new link under the Blogroll section on the right. It’s actually the very first one under that section.
This is hopefully the first small step in getting some of Ashlee’s creations actually produced and stuff. She’s done some really cool things. Some of you may or may not know that she’s authored and illustrated several of her own books too.
So check out her blog and enjoy!
My Animations
Howdy again ya’ll! I finally got around to posting two of the animations I did in my class. It was fun making them.
This one is my final animation. Enjoy!
If you can’t view any, tell me and I’ll try to fix it.
Two For Two
Merry Christmas to all our friends and family!!!
And FYI, we are now 2 for 2 on the winter snow storm/white Christmas thingy. Yeah, thought be could escape it by coming out West but nope. Were present for the afternoon smashing of snow up here in the Wasatch. Pretty cool for the kiddos actually!
Anyway, have a wonderful Christmas Day. We look forward to speaking to some of you later today!
White Christmas
OK, so for those of you reading the ‘Winter Blast Pummels the Northeast’, yeah, we’re sort of part of that. Started yesterday evening, not supposed to stop until 7 tonight. And I just looked out the window… yep, still snowing. I’m trying to decide if I should go out right now and take care of what’s on the ground now, or if I should just leave it for tonight after it’s all done. Now having said that, we’ve had worse storms before. There’s only about 4 or 5 inches right now, with that same amount expected by this evening, all told 8-12 total when it’s over. We are getting pummeled with calls that church is cancelled for today, and we’re the 1-4 group.
It is nice for the kiddlings though, they woke up to a lot of snow. On top of that, they’re leaving for Utah on Wednesday, so Santa came last night so they could have some Christmas at home. We spent the morning opening presents, of course Nick and Ashlee were both lucky to get the main thing they’ve been asking for since we even started thinking about Christmas gifts. So they’re busy playing right now. Becky’s busy making breakfast, and I’m ‘busy’ fiddling around on the computer.
Merry Christmas everyone! We look forward to seeing most of you in a few days. :)
Fresno Freemans Happenings…
Well, I guess that it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I was going through a boat load of old pictures of all the things we’ve done over the last year or so. As I was filing these away, I started playing with iPhoto and put this little diddie (is that a word?) together. Sorry about the size (about 7 MB).
