Tony and Greta dot com Corinne, Mason, and Ethan too.

Well, it’s been years (not really, but I guess in a round about sort of way, really) in the making — I’ve finally organized our Flickr stream and I’ve put together three pages of the kids next to their stuffed animals.

For those who don’t know, Greta and I picked a different animal for each of the kids and took a monthly picture with them next to their animal. Now that they’re all older, we’ll just be doing it yearly, but here are pictures of the three kids, through the months and years:

Mason’s Monkey Shots
Ethan’s Elephant Shots

Crazy!

I know two months ago I said that with all this free time I was going to have while on travel that I was going to be posting a bunch of updates and what-not, but that obviously hasn’t happened. For one thing, I haven’t had as much free time as I thought I would. For another, by the end of my work day, I really don’t have any motivation to do anything more than watch Food Network and Law & Order reruns. So there’s that.

But now, my time on this project is going to come to an end soon, so I need to take advantage of what time I have. I’m still working on my first project, the monthly stuffed-pet project (and subsequent organizing of Flickr). That should be done soonish!

Not sure what will happen after that. I’ve been itching to scan in old photos, but that’s a home project, so we’ll see what happens next.

As you may (or may not) know, I’m currently involved on a project at work that requires a lot of travel, most of which come during two-week stints. I’m currently in the middle of the first one, which means I have a weekend where I have just about nothing to do.

With all this free time, I figured I could spend some time working on the site. While Greta has taken over most of the family blogging, I have a few projects I’d like to work on. Those would include finally organizing our Flickr photos (I stopped working on that a while ago), a page of the kids pictures with their stuffed animals, and a few other post ideas.

Now I have to motivate myself to turn off the 4th episode (in a row!) of Law and Order and get to it.

Greta posted an electronic Christmas card to everyone here.

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of ghost towns. I know there are dozens of them in the “Old West” but I’m more intrigued by the more modern ones. You can read about 24 of them at this site.

They are all intriguing. I really want to travel to Pennsylvania to check this one out, but the one I found most interesting was this one, the “Deserted Walled City of Kowloon, Hong Kong“.

(I’m hoping to update the site a little more frequently with links like these.)
