Week 27 - Jordan

I’m trying to grow grass. Here’s some of it at week 2. Other parts are a bit more filled in, but I liked this shot better. Ignore the line that runs through the top…Flickr seems to be having an issue when I upload.

Week 26 – Jordan

We decided to mix things up a bit this week by adding a member to the family here. Not a human member, mind you, but a short little thing that is interested in cuddling, eating, licking, pooping, and sleeping. Meet Roxy:

Yes, I realize that’s three dog photos in a row. I promise I’ll have something different next week! (maybe)

Week 26 – Nate

Half way there! I know, this week I probably should have posted a picture of our new house but right now the place is a total mess as we begin unpacking. Instead, I have a picture from our annual “4th of July War” where my dad, brother, and I line up a bunch of those little firework tanks and fight it out until they’re all gone. This is one of the casualties…

Week 25 – Nate

Nila was swimming for her company at the Kansas City Corporate Challenge this week. She swam a variety of events – this was taken during the 50 Fly.

Week 25 - Jordan

This is Rosebud. She was tired from walking around a hot parking lot and decided to take a nap. For more information about Rosebud and her owner Ellen, go here. I promise, it’s a good story. You can view more pictures of Rosebud, Ellen, and the Walk For Wishes in Grand Forks here.

FYI I'm tired.

Week 24 – Jordan

Another part of our trip last weekend was visiting my parents. I like going back for more than one reason, but I really like seeing the “puppies” and getting to pet them. Cassie, pictured below, is one of the sweetest little dogs ever. Though when she was a puppy, that was probably not true.

Week 24 – Nate

Last weekend I summited my first 14er. Being early June, there was still quite a bit of snow so I left the Rebel and took my old PowerShot loaded up with CHDK firmware (biggest advantage: RAW). The panorama below doesn’t begin to do justice to the view from the summit but it’s as much as I could get before my fingers started to freeze.

If you have time, check out the rest of the pictures here.

Week 23 - Jordan

While I was back in town for a not-so-good reason, I’m glad I was able to hook up with my brothers and go fishing for a little bit. Grandpa, after all, would have wanted it that way. We didn’t catch anything, but I still thought it was fun. Holmes Lake looks nice these days.
