My Sick Hannah Baby

Hannah got pretty sick on Friday. She had a fever, threw up twice, and was aching all over. She took some naps on Saturday morning but looked quite miserable and uncomfortable. I decided to call her Doctor and took her in to get her checked out. Her Doctor took a swab and did the Strep test. Voila, she was positive for Strep! She was prescribed an antibiotic and after taking a couple of doses as recommended, she started to perk up and was feeling much better.
I'm so glad she is feeling better as it was heart-breaking to see her in pain and in a state of discomfort.

Welcome Home, Maddy Paddy!

I was in Boston on business from October 22-27, and when I got home, I got this wonderful note from my kids. It was great to see my kids and this note after a rough week in Beantown! That story will be posted soon.
Oh ya, I got this nickname of Maddy Paddy from my kids. Not sure how they came up with that but it's funny and cute.

Election Day 2006

It was election day today and history was made and hopefully some change will take place for the better. Signs like these are seen everywhere.
So, just a recap, the Democrats have won the House hands down, and they narrowly won the Senate. Our respected Vermont representative, Bernie Sanders won his Senate seat after switching from many stints as a Congressman.

Sabrina's Ear Piercings

Sabrina was ready and wanted her ears pearced. So, we got them done today.
I wanted to be there and my wife wanted to be there, so we made it into a family event. Sabrina brought her friend Meghan along, who is also our neighbor.
Sabrina was a little nervous at first but was surprised that they were done quickly and painlessly. Both of her ears were pearced at the same time with her birthstone studs which she chose. The earrings look really nice on her. She did really well and was anxious to get more earrings.

Happy Birthday, Vinie!

Sunset Silhouettes

I took these pictures a few days ago as I was coming home after work.
This location is very close to my home. I was talking to a friend over the phone when I spotted this scene with the golden sunset. I hung up with my friend quickly and turned the car around. I could not pass this opportunity.
I am very pleased with the composition, point of view, and the overall results.

*** Stop: 0x0000007A

My damn laptop Blue Screened again!
I've been having a lot of problems with it lately. Maybe, I'm pushing it to it's limits but lets see how far she will go!

Happy Halloween (2006)!!

It was Halloween yesterday and time to gather some candy.
My kids were very excited and anxious for the event. We took them out as usual to a few houses nearby and to some relatives and friends. Their buckets filled up fast and we had to empty them out into a grocery paper bag.
Trick or treating went well except that it started to rain. The kids had a great time and were very happy with their "loot"!
Happy Halloween!

Moo Cards

This post is for my buddy, Matt, who has been pestering me to post some pictures of my Moo cards. Matt and I received ten free Moo cards during a recent promotion.
Moo cards are mini cards about half the size of a business card. They are quite rigid and can be used as business cards. You can add some text details on the back. If you are interested, you can check out their website.

Piggyback Cousins

Hannah getting a piggyback ride from her cousin, Rachael. Mirriam decided she wanted to join in and hopped on. Mirriam and Rachael are sisters. The cousins had a great time together during their visit.

Watching Snow

My kids were mesmerised by the first snowfall of the year, and I saw them watching from their bedroom window.
