Slacking Off

Ya, so I guess I've been slacking off on the blog recently...as one might expect, however, the truth is that two things have been rather hard to come by of late: 1) time and 2) energy.

So, I think from now on you can safely assume that only the most momentous of occasions will make any sort of splash on this blog.

Instead, I will be favoring a much-less-labor-intensive approach combining my YouTube Channel for videos and my Picasa Web Album for photos...to provide the world with their supply of us from here in Ottawa. The links for these are also on the right side of this page.

I think the YouTube stuff is publicly available, but the Picasa stuff is both public and by-invite-only. If you're not already on my distribution list (you would have received an e-mail) and want in, you can just e-mail me and I will get you on the list.

Here's a teaser...

More Makena pics

Here are a couple more pictures...her big dark eyes are getting lighter every day...who knows what color we end up with?!


This is the first "family" shot...


This video is about 2:00 minutes long and despite my efforts to get her to make some noises, is pretty much just us hanging out.


As for Makena's room, here are some before-and-after shot of the renos that we have been tinkering with for many months now...it's all done, though!
