Two For Tuesday – 111

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007 @ 11:45 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

It was cold, wet and dreary this past Sunday, so instead of going to the park to work out, California Girl and I decided to go to the gym later in the day. We both love to hang out in the bedroom when it’s rainy and dreary outside so the morning was especially relaxing. We [...]

Not Much Longer

Monday, November 12th, 2007 @ 11:37 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

Nothing drives home the point that The Boy is not going to be at home much longer like visiting a college that he is interested in attending. The visit went well and he seemed excited, almost as if he could see himself talking classes there right now. California Girl and I, however, can’t imagine him [...]

Photo Memories

Sunday, November 11th, 2007 @ 6:01 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

After trying on and off for years, I was finally able to rescue the pictures off of an old PhotoCD that we had lying around. PCD is a long dead format but it allowed for the creation of 6 megapixel digital images 15 years ago. Anyway, as I reviewed the pictures, I was struck by [...]

HNT – 115

This week we decided to put the camera at the same height as the mattress right at the foot of the bed and see what came out. Some of the pictures showed just our feet; but others turned out pretty well. And, because of our positions, we didn’t need to blur any thing. Obviously, none [...]

Two For Tuesday – 110

Mr and Mrs Manic Depressive recently posted some point of view pictures for their Foto Phriday feature and it looked like fun, so I made a mental note to try it the next time the opportunity presented itself. I usually keep the camera in the bedroom when the kids are out of the house and [...]

Have We Thought…

Guest_2189 asked in the shoutbox “Have you and your wife thought about what you would say to your kids if they found your blog?” The shoutbox has a 500 character limit so I though I would answer that question here. We supervise and monitor what the kids do both in real life and virtually; so [...]

Great Expectations

Friday, November 2nd, 2007 @ 7:13 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

For the first time in what seems like ages, there isn’t a soccer game or a cross country meet this weekend. So, California Girl and I can sleep in tomorrow morning! We haven’t had a Saturday that we didn’t need to be up and out early since August. We’ve really enjoyed watching the children compete, [...]

HNT – 114

Osbasso requested that everyone do a Halloween theme for today. We know that it’s not remotely original; but we decided to pose with some of the candy the kids collected from Trick-or-Treat. Some of the chocolate melted from the heat of our bodies; but it was still a fun way to inspect their Halloween candy. [...]
