I CAN HAS CHEEZ WRAPPER?

Hurley running away with a cheese wrapper.

Last night while grilling some garden burgers, I didn’t notice that a wrapper to a slice of processed cheese had blown off the table. It didn’t take long for our new puppy, Hurley, to find it. While chasing him around the yard to get it back, I couldn’t help but think about the lolcats and their ongoing quest for cheezburgers.

New Puppy!

We went to the King County Adopt-A-Thon today and came home with an new puppy.  He is a mix of a Labrador Retriever and something else that the rescue kennel was not sure about.  We haven’t settled on a name yet, but so far we like Hurley, Wilson, Caesar, Gordy, or Indy.  If you have an opinion or another idea, please leave us a comment.

April Snowstorm

So far this year we have had about one day of Spring-like weather. It is currently hailing and snowing as I write this. Here are some pictures from yesterday’s snow storm.

Notes: this gallery was created with the new “Gallery” feature in Wordpress 2.5. It doesn’t look my theme is compatible with 2.5, so it doesn’t have the previous/next feature to navigate the photos, but I still think it is pretty cool.  The first three pictures were taken with my new camera phone.

Photos from Europe Trip Now Online

Big Ben as seen from the London EyeWe have finished uploading and captioning photos from our summer trip to Europe. We returned home with over 2,000 photos but we’ve selected about 400 of our favorite photos to post. This was a very time consuming process, but it is always fun to look back. The trip feels like it happened so long ago.

Here are some links to help you browse through the photos;

The Bloedel Reserve

The Sheep Barn at the Bloedel ReserveOn May 18 while my Grandpa was in town, we took a trip to the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island. This privately owned, quiet refuge is only a half-hour ferry ride from Seattle. A reservation is required before visiting, and more information is available at the Bloedel Reserve web site. Visit my gallery for more photos.

Snow Day!

Snow Day

Work was canceled today because of snow, most of which fell several days ago but it took my employer an extra day to close schools. Thus, I was forced to venture home yesterday through a thin layer of slush that caused major traffic backups, an ordeal that lasted 2.5 hours. Conditions got pretty scary during the final mile after exiting the freeway, where I passed at least 5 stalled cars. Needless to say, I’m very glad to be staying home today.

NY and DC Photo Album

The Statue of Liberty
I finally finished editing and uploading photos that LeAnn and I took on our trip to New York and Washington DC. We left on June 24 and stayed with Anne for several days, then went to DC until July 5. I took nearly 700 photos, but managed to narrow it down to about 150 to share publicly.
