My new Harley Davidson Sportster – Nightster

Owning a Harley is a life long dream of mine. I haven’t obsessed over it, but it’s something that I had on my list of things “to do before I go”. To be honest, I never thought I would own one. But… now that I do, I am really enjoying myself A few pictures [...]

What have we done to our children?

This is the new swingset we got for the girls. When I was a kid, we wouldn’t even call this a “swingset”. We would call this “the park” or a “playground”. I mean, really… what are we doing to our children? Perhaps I was really deprived as a kid and now i feel the [...]

Playing for Change – Songs around the world – Stand By Me

I am a strong believer in looking for those things that unite us, instead of those that divide us. Politics & religion both cause nothing but division. Music on the other hand, this is something that brings us all together. This is a beautiful video put together with over a decade of work from Concord Music [...]

New Camera Lens – New Options

I thought it was about time I put a little money into a really good camera lens so that I could start capturing better pictures. Today I picked up the new Nikon Nikkor 1:1.4G 50mm for our D90, after being turned onto it by Rob Page. I am VERY happy with this lens. It’s going [...]

Hail Storm 3/25 – Everything IS bigger in Texas!

This is the hail storm that hit us on 3/25/2009. There was really no time to respond. We had about 10 minutes straight of golf ball sized hail – most of it coming in horizontally. Luckily the car was parked in the garage, but the truck took on $4000+ in damage. Pretty much every car in [...]

Our New Running Shoes Came in!

Well here they are, mom and dad’s new running shoes! I had mine embroidered with my name, just in case I forgot it. Mom had hers embroidered with a message… maybe a message to me? I am wondering if I should have another pair designed with a response?

How great it is to be a father!

I’ve seen a lot of pictures, and i’ve also seen “dad” written on a number of things. However, the letter below really touched me. Elizabeth wrote this note to us tonight and it made both of us tear up. She wasn’t coaxed, and no one helped her. She sat down and wrote this all on her [...]

Yes We Can – Will I Am

Whether or not you believe in the man, I hope you will believe in the message. All we need to do is come together as one and this world would be a better place. We are not as divided as our religion or politics suggest. Don’t forget that. Yes We can HD from lol on Vimeo.

These are the most expensive shoes I have owned, and I can’t even walk in them! We recently signed up for scuba classes and will be open water certified in the next 2 weeks. I am really looking forward to it. I will post more after my class this weekend.

Computer time – their new favorite thing.

Between the ads on TV, and the recommendations from Elizabeth’s teachers, they have no shortage of websites to play around on these days. Their desk sits just behind mine, so it’s easy to turn around and beg for a shot. These shots are from one of the rare instances when I didn’t get a total [...]

Trip to Seaworld – March 2009

I didn’t get a lot of photos on this trip because I spent a lot of time shooting video. On top of that, the photos I did get were with a crummy point-and-shoot. We picked up a season pass though, and it’s only an hour an a half away. Should have plenty of additional opportunities.

Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch – Texas

These are a few pictures of our trip to the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch. This is a drive through ranch where the animals come right up to your car, and sometimes IN IT!. All went pretty well until Dad got smacked with a set of horns, and Elizabeth got attacked by an Ostrich. Other than that, [...]

The Millers @ Lake Travis

Lake Travis was created by the impounding of the Colorado River by the construction of Mansfield Dam in 1937- 41. The dam is 266.41 feet high. The length is 7,089.39 feet. At the base it is 213 feet thick. In short, Lake Travis is a beautiful place where the Miller’s had to spend some time.

We came down to Austin and it didn’t take us long to realize that this is where we wanted to set up camp. We had planned on staying for a few extra days, but we found our home quick like, so we were out like thieves in the night. We drove up to Dallas and parked [...]

Lawn cleanup – fun in the leaves!

I just got the new blog up and going so I wanted to go back and hi-light some of the things we didn’t get to share with you all. Back in November we did a little bit of “leaf removal” and as a result ended up with this GIANT pile of leaves. The girls had a real blast!

Selling everything – material possessions mean nothing

It took us a while to realize what a slave we were to material possessions. We spent our entire lives collecting “stuff”. The funny thing is, a lot of our “stuff” was needed to maintain our other “stuff”, some of which maintained other “stuff”. Why did we feel it necessary to surround ourselves with this garbage? In time we would learn that [...]
