Weekend Walk

I'm finally back with some random photos from this weekend.  On Saturday evening, Aaron and I took a walk over to the construction site at the other end of our development.  As if a whole pack of construction vehicles aren't exciting enough for a 5-year-old kid, the train track runs nearby and we were just in time for a train!

Coming around the bend...

Aaron couldn't wait to wave at the engineer.  As the engine sped by blowing its whistle, there he stood...holding his ears shut. :-D  And no, we weren't actually this close to the train.  This was shot with my 70-200 zoom lens.  Next time (when there's less mud) I need to scope out a better spot without so much brush in the way.

THE END.  It's kind-of a bummer you don't see cabooses at the end of trains anymore!

One of the rare occasions where I DON'T have to bribe this child to pose for me.  "Mommy, take a picture of me with the bulldozer!  And the streamroller!"

This flock of geese flew overhead, and luckily I was ready to aim and fire...with my camera, of course! :-P

Because it was "there"...

And of course, no walk would be complete without some clowning around...

Meet Ozzy...

We've added a new member to our family...a tiger oscar we named Ozzy.  For several years Corey has been wanting to set up an oscar tank, so this year for Christmas I went to Pet Smart and picked up a gift card for him to do just that.  Ozzy is just a baby, measuring in at around 3 1/2 inches, and for now seems kind-of small in his 55-gallon home.  But according to information we've been reading online, he could very well reach 9 or 10 inches by this time next year!

Getting Ozzy home was an adventure.  He was not at all fond of the car ride.  Oscars have many tiny teeth, and Ozzy decided he was going to put his to "good" use and bite two holes in the plastic bag on the way home.  Trying to keep the bag oriented to prevent massive water loss while Ozzy continued to charge and bite at the sides was NOT an easy task!  He was quite happy when we were finally able to dump him into his waiting tank (and so was I)!

Website Update

Since I've gotten some emails asking about the status of my new website, I thought I'd post an update here!  My site is finished (although it took me longer than I anticipated) and I've notified my hosting company to make it live.  The problem is that they are running behind on getting client websites live in a timely manner.  In addition to hosting, they are also a popular web design company and were recently mentioned on VH-1.  As a result, they were swamped with calls and are now scrambling to catch up.  Hopefully I will be live soon!
