Christmas Lights w/ Jared

 Christmas Light Pictures for Oma!

And you thought your hobby was boring?

In High School I started to teach myself C/C++ programming, which I ended up putting on the back burner for a while. Recently I started trying to teach myself C/C++ plus Java. I really hope I can manage to teach myself this stuff. I should have stuck with learning this stuff back then, I would be an expert by now!

Backyard oasis...

Keeping cool in the desert. The way little man does!

How to keep a 2yr old busy.

I found this is a surprisingly easy way to keep a 2yr old entertained. Requirements listed below:

1) 1 - two year old child

2) 1 - friendly dog

3) 1 - ball.

Nice 'tolerable' morning to play outside.

Temperatures dropped enough last night that we could get Jared out for some early morning playtime. 

"no grass? no donkeys? ..."

My favorite time of day...

I never thought that one of my favorite things to do would be sitting in front of the TV at 6:00 in the morning watching Thomas & Friends with Jared. Jared loves watching the trains, surprisingly there are some entertaining stories. I am starting to think I might even enjoy the show more then Jared! Scary.

Michigan Picture Favorites (2/2 - Oma & Opa's Camera)

This is Post #2 of my favorite pictures taken during our trip to Michigan, just taken by Oma & Opa. My son's personal favorite is the one of the donkey. ;)

Frankfort Adventure

My wife and I decided to take a drive to a few lakeside towns, Frankfort as our first destination. First impression of Frankfort was nothing special, we decided to get some food and venture elsewhere. After some A&W we chanced it and walked to a small marina a couple streets away. We walked by the water for a little while then back through the downtown area. It was pretty and at least now the drive wasn't a total waste, we got a few pictures. As we were waiting for GPS to give us directions to our next destination, we passed a beautiful beach with a lighthouse. We ended up spending the rest of our time checking out the beach and lighthouse, it turned out to be one of our best adventures of the Michigan trip.
