Christmas approaches quickly

December 21, 1999 by Adam in Family

Christmas approaches quickly. I'm in the middle of a two week vacation, spending a lot of time with Sam. At the moment, Jamie's off at the coast with Seraph, enjoying her first full day away from Sam (a mini-Christmas present of mine).

Sam's still growing. He walks very well, and is able to do a bunch of new things (feed himself with a spoon, go up/down stairs, climb up on couches, etc.). He's also getting very verbal. He learned the word "onion" this morning. He also has a new game where he'll hide something, come up to me and shrug saying "ein" (short for "I don't know"), then go back and find it again.

It's been nice to take the time off work, though it's a very different schedule indeed. Instead of assisting customers with computer problems, I've been assisting Sam with his diapers. Still, he's a great boy and it's fun to be around him.



Sam's officially one year old

Sam's officially one year old. Not only that, but he just started walking. The house hasn't been the same since.

On other exciting news, we finally got rid of Jamie's old t.v. and bought something made in this decade. It's a bit on the huge side. I've got to get used to the fact that we're a "big t.v." family now. Weird.



Well, I'm a bachelor for the next couple days

Well, I'm a bachelor for the next couple days. I'm off work today and Jamie and Sam are up in Portland visiting Judy. I've become super-productive man. This morning I baked a cheesecake, made apple pie, spread massive amounts of wood chips over our garden, started a load of laundry, and all on only two cups of coffee!

The rest of the day involves shopping, getting Christmas presents ready, cleaning the house, dinner with family tonight, and a few miscellaneous projects. I'm hoping I don't collapse from exhaustion.



More big changes

More big changes. Jamie actually typed on her page today. We also put up our Christmas wish lists - you can see them on each page.

You'll also find the family tree completely redone. I've put up a more extensive tree and linked it to the photo album so that you can see pictures of the people. There's still a lot of scanning to do, but I think the basic structure is pretty close to done.

It's also a Friday. Jamie's mom is coming to town, so we'll be able to run around a bit. I think we may actually see a movie this weekend, for the first time in months. Jamie's brothers are also hosting wine night, so we're looking forward to that.



I guess the photo album is a big hit

I guess the photo album is a big hit. Our hits doubled in a couple days. Woo hoo - 34!

I scanned a couple more photos and put a link on the navigation bar. Also, there's some more Sam news.

I've been waking up at 4:45 or so each morning due to the time change. No fun at all! Still sick from a cold too.

On the bright side, I've been building a database to organize my scanned images and convert them to HTML pages for our site. You can take a look at the latest demo. Comments are welcome!

Well, I stole my dad's scanner, so I hope to get some more recent photos up soon. At the moment, I added the "family tree section". It's minimal, but I hope to get some brief descriptions of my immediate family.

It's Halloween today. The scariest part was waking up last night with Sam crying and my nose running something fierce. Blah!

The site's been up for only a week, and already I'm redesigining everything. Jamie decided that my categories of Home, Family, Work, and Play didn't quite meet her needs, so we've settled on one for each person. Jamie's also said she'd post things if I made it easy enough, so I'll hopefully work on that next.

Halloween is around the corner. Sam's dressing up as a clown. Jamie and I did have elaborate costumes planned (Raggedy Anne and Spiderman), but we just didn't find anything we liked. So, we're going to a kid party on Sunday as beleaguered parents.



Welcome to our home

October 24, 1999 by Adam in Family

Welcome to our home.

Although I've been working on the Internet for several years now, designing web based application for PeaceHealth, I haven't actually had a personal home page since the early 90's.

I'm hoping this will evolve into a place where friends and family can check up on our progress, hear and see the latest on Sam's progress, and drop a note to us.
