Pictures!

And happy birthday to me.  Last Wednesday I turned 43.  I got some cards, some t-shirts, a movie (Spiderman 2) and went out to play Magic.  It was nice.

More important, though, I am catching up on posting pictures.  We have so many.  Especially with Becky in a photography class.  She is making the most of the opportunity and heads out with a camera frequently.

So here we go all the way back to ... Christmas!  Ryan came up for a couple days.







Becky got some nice pictures at a creek near our house.




Ben turned 14!


Tabby went sledding with her BFF, Ella.



I took a nap.  Tabby woke me up.




Becky took pictures down by the Fox River.



Kids are a popular subject for her photography homework.




So are cityscapes around Green Bay.







Ella's dog, Chewy.



The Fox River again.


A gathering of Princesses.  Happy Valentine's Day!


Becky has found that she really likes photographing cemeterys.  Especially at sunrise and sunset.  There is just something that speaks to her about the symbolism.


Of course, Tabby is probably still the most common subject.




Becky took Tabby to play with some dogs at the home of a woman we go to church with.




On the bay.  When it's frozen over.  Tabby was pretty excited to go walk out on the water.





We went to Milwaukee to visit Dr. Drolet, who has been researching why some people have the developmental asymetry like Tabby does.  They actually figured out why it happens.  It has to do with mismatched genes that control size.  Dr. Drolet explained how they figured it out.  It was really cool.  Even better, though, was that we went to the Milwaukee Public Museum and visited their butterfly room.



Right outside our house.



Last weekend we visited Jack in Sheboygan.  Tabby misses him.  And she loves his cats.  We drove around time, walked on the beach and took pictures.







Last Thursday we went out driving, just looking for good spots to get pictures at sunset.  We found a couple in the nearby town of Oneida.



Aaaaand finally.  All caught up on the pictures I've been meaning to post for months.

Happy Birthday Becky!


Yay birthdays!  Last Thursday Becky had another one.  We didn't do much.  Becky said she didn't want to spend money going out.  I think she just wanted to stay home and watch Gray's Anatomy.  But we had cake!

On her birthday she interviewed for a position at the Brown County Library.  They had, like, 420+ applicants for six open positions.  I don't how many of those got interviews, but wow.  Before the interview, Becky had to take a shelving exam.  She found out during the interview that she aced it.

Unrelated to Becky's birthday, but still noteworthy: Sam got a job!  He's a lifeguard at Tundra Lodge.
