Xmas 09

I totally forgot to post this video a month ago. Sorry for the belated Xmas video.

Test

I'm testing something

Trimming the Tree

We were a little late this year putting up the tree. I've been renovating the dining and living room since this summer which is why you haven't seen to many updates on the old blog. I found all sorts of surprises and what not that are taking more time than I thought to overcome. However, the room is almost done. I still have to sand and paint the trim and we still need to replace that nasty carpet. We are not sold on the color scheme in that room. It could be the fact that the color of the carpet just clashes badly with the walls. Perhaps when the carpet is gone it will look better?

Morgan and Kumar's Christmas Special

This year Morgan was in a "Holiday" Concert because you can't have a Christmas concert anymore - that would not be politically correct. So this video is anything but PC. Enjoy!

My new hobby

Sorry, I didn't post anything in November. I've been rather busy with the holiday and working on the living/dining room. I've got a lot of raw video to edit of the kids and what we have been doing so stay tuned. In the mean time here is a hobby I am thinking of taking up. It might be a little on the expensive side.

Morgan's Halloween Birthday Special

Morgan's birthday is on Sept 11th but she wanted a Halloween party. We felt most parents would not be able to find a costume in Sept so we waited for Oct. She turned 7 this year which made me feel a little old until one of the parents at the party said "Its was tough when I turned 40" I really wanted to say "I wouldn't know" I decided my comment would not be appreciated.

Tower Hill

Over the labor day weekend we went to Tower Hill. It's a botanical garden, which does have a hill but there is no tower on the hill or near the hill so I don't know where the name came from. My guess would be they wanted something that would make you think of England. Which it did for me since its the name of the tube stop near the Tower of London.

The garden is setup to make you think of an English botanical garden. It reminded me of what Kew Gardens just outside of London would have looked like while it was under construction. You see the management at Tower Hill have this 8 stage plan and they are starting contruction on stage 4. They would like to be done in 2038 or something like that. So I guess I'll wait till then to go back. What they have done is very nice and I think it was time well spent.
