Well, the grand wedding between Jenny and Darren Banks happened today! There was a huge amount of family there. I was the official videographer, and took some quick stills:
The Banks are off to Vegas for a few days, promising to sleep in until noon each day.

Well, I added a new area to the web site: "The Clan". I e-mailed the various people involved, so I'm hoping that I get responses fairly soon. Ideally, we'll get news about Jenny and Darren's wedding as well as the baby on the way for Seraph and Robbie!

Looks like this web site is actually getting some use. My cousin Mikayla dropped me a note after noticing my interest in computer games. Hello Mikayla!
Busy weekend. We finished the long-running gate project. We now have a nice white gate to replace the old ratty one. There was also assorted cleaning, lawn care, and family celebrations. Jamie's dad came down to visit and my mom had her birthday.
Sam is cute as ever. He's started getting into singing. He'll give the "ABC" song a periodic try, though his favorite is "Don't put your finger up your nose." With luck, I'll record a duet and put it up on the site.

We went over to see Seraph and Robbie's new house
July 15, 2000 by Adam in Family
We went over to see Seraph and Robbie's new house. They took us around to the various rooms. When they got to the smaller corner bedroom, they announced "and this will be the baby's room". It surprised all of us - we'll be expecting little baby Cortez sometime in January. We wish them the very best.

Well, we're up in Portland at Jamie's mom's house
July 11, 2000 by Adam in Family
Well, we're up in Portland at Jamie's mom's house. The new web site allows me to post news items from anywhere, which is great.
We spent yesterday at OMSI, mostly in the toddler section. Sam spent hours stacking blocks, blowing balls around through tubes, and digging in the sand. Unfortunately, the robot exhibit wasn't there, so we had to explain to Sam that the robots had "gone home". Still, it was a big success and I can see it being a common event when we visit.
Today is the zoo, though Sam doesn't know what's in store for him. We've talked a little about how we're going to be seeing elephants, giraffes, and tigers. Little does he know . . .
We're probably going to be back in town late tonight. Hopefully Sadie has taken good care of the place.

Well, we're about to head off to Portland for a few days for our anniversary. We're hauling Sam along with us, and we'll probably leave him with grandmaw for a day. Actually spending an entire, uninterrupted, day with Jamie is pretty exciting. Perhaps a lazy day visiting coffee houses and browsing books at Powells. Pretty cool!
Sam's sleeping habits are starting to mellow out again. He still goes to bed around 9 pm now, but at least he's fighting it less. We're missing the lost couple hours in the evening still. The joys of parenthood . . .

I broke out the microphone and recorded some new words from Sam. Sam also went to see Chicken Run, his first time in a big movie theater. He did really well, though we left after an hour. He kept saying things like "wow!" and "big, big movie!".
We also managed to do some serious gardening this weekend - mowing, watering, laying paths, and getting ready to regravel the driveway. Ah, the joys of home ownership.
