For the first post of the new year, I decided to upload some photos taken around the house during the holiday break with the kids. You can find them either at the family PicasaWeb site, or you can find them right here in the Photo Gallery.

It’s a little later than usual, but our yearly family newsletter is ready for downloading. You can find it at the link below.

I’ve taken Willie to a local baseball diamond near the house lately so he can have a fenced place to run for a bit where it is safe.  Needless to say, he loves it.  The last time I was there, I managed to get a video of him.  It’s pretty amazing to watch that dog run.  To view it, you can go into the Willie Album at my Picasaweb site, or you can click here.

In the most recent space shuttle mission (STS-118), the astronauts aboard the International Space Station managed to take several spectacular shots of the shuttle Endeavour docked to the station. Check them out!

Willie didn’t look too happy when Zipper joined him in his bed.

Well, I think Willie has finally decided he’s going to be with us for a while. Over the past week, we’ve finally seen some behavior from him that you’d only see from an animal that seems content in his surroundings. The big one happened last night. I was upstairs for a little bit, and when Jessi and I came back down, his bed was empty. A quick scan of the floor showed he wasn’t there either. It turns out, he had jumped up on the couch to take a nap. It’s the first time he’s ever even tried it. I don’t really care if he does or not, but it was nice to see he was finally comfortable enough with us to try it. Here he is on the couch last night and roaching during the afternoon.
