Abbie and I went swimming today. Before we left, we had to try on her suit - she got a bit excited.

Abbie and I shoveled on saturday - we put snow back on the driveway. It just worked better that way.

Marti moved on Friday - Getting the couch inside was a bit of a challenge.

There may be a few test posts here

I'm having issues with this blog and posting new stuff that doesn't have pictures, so there may be a few test posts today.

Added more than I thought

Okay, I got carried away - I updated the photos page, but not the
naviagation button. I also updated the links page, so it's actually
very useful now. Take a look and let me know what you think - one of
my earlier tasks was to email me and auto sort all the comments from
this blog, so if you leave me a comment, I will automatically get it.

One of my things to do tommorow is to get a "Updated" or "New" label
that I can put on all the stuff I update, so people can easily see
what's new.

Tonight I spent some time on thelohns.com and this blog in particular.
I wasn't home in time to take any cool photos of the sunset, so there
will be no photos on this entry. I'm going to finish this up quick
and then change the "Photo Album" button on the main navagation bar to
just say "Photos". Then I'm going to have a page that has links to my
favorite photos at the original sizes, so people can print them with
good resolution or set them as their background.

The biggest noticable changes on the blog are the logo and the
"Helpful Links" sidebar. Again, I've been super fired up about RSS,
so I'm giving you the feed of how to see if this blog has been
updated. Here's a link to how RSS works and how to make use of it
from HowstuffWorks.com

I use newsgator for my RSS reader, in fact it's my homepage on all my
browsers on all my computers.

Here's it flying - not very good photo, but kind of cool.

Here's a close up from a different angle - I watched it the entire way down the driveway and back up. Maggie and Adrian were running around underneath it - they didn't affect it though.

Here's one of the owl I saw - it was by the pine trees first, then flew past the wood pile, then to this spot.

Heres' another cool sunset shot - I think the first one is the money maker though.

I had quite a sunset tonight. I went down the drive to get the garbage and decided to bring the camera with me. First was this sunset, which was pretty cool - then an owl as you'll see in later pics. I'm not as good of a photographer as I will be, so it was cooler in person.

On Saturday Abbie and I played Playdoh - We started with green, yellow, red and blue - but now we only have green and purple. I'll get some new stuff soon.
