Wednesday, September 30th, 2009Here’s my Halloween outfit: the crusader tabbard and cape from Museum Replicas, along with chain mail, a sword, ring belt, and (maybe) some medieval turn shoes/boots

Picture Purgatory
Friday, September 25th, 2009Since all of our photos of the kids are digital, and I worry about losing them, I decided to set up rsync to do monthly backups to my Web server. Combining this with periodic TimeMachine synchronization and yearly backups to DVD and it seems like our pictures are pretty safe. Unless I misconfigure rsync :-(

Off to Monterey
Thursday, September 17th, 2009We’re heading out to Monterey this morning. I’m excited to be taking EV to the Monterey Bay Aquarium–I think she’ll really like it. I’m also hoping there will be time in the afternoon to fly her kite at the beach.
Here’s looking forward to a long weekend and some fun with the wife and kids :-)
Nursery Letters
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009These are the letters we bought to put up on the nursery wall. They’re pretty cool–there’s a company that uses a CNC machine to cut them out of plywood. The only problem is that the “plus” and “makes” might be a little too big. But they look nice.

More pictures
Saturday, September 12th, 2009I’ll be posting more pictures of the girls here instead of at the picture site (gallery.hughes-etc.com) because Matt’s having some problems with the hosting company (1and1). Until that all gets sorted, I guess some of our girl pictures will be coming up here on the blog.

A Cubbie, Already?
Friday, September 11th, 2009How time flies! It doesn’t really seem possible that our oldest could be ready for AWANA cubbies, but she is. Wednesday night we took her to AWANA opening night at Valley Church (PBCC doesn’t have AWANA) and she started. Overall she did pretty well, though she was nervous at first. She’s started working on learning the “sections” you have to memorize to get your Cubbie vest, which she is excited about.

Home Depot Kids Project
Saturday, September 5th, 2009Home Depot has a program where one Saturday a month they have a free project for kids to build. EV and I stopped by for some remodeling supplies and decided to try it out. It was fun–she built a “bean bag toss game”
She liked the free apron and pin.
