Welcome to Advent

Posted by Scott at 03:30 PM

Click to see the albumPhotos - I was working on the picture for our Christmas cards and also spent a little extra time working on this small album. There's the usual assortment of kids, pets, and even a picture with me in it for a change.

Movie - We finally got around to seeing Happy Feet today. I'd give it four out of five stars. Yes, it's cute. Yes, it has good voice actors, great music, and awesome rendering. I think it was the portrayal of religion and tradition as close minded and ignorant that irritated me a bit. There were also some scenes that might be a bit intense for small kids - scenes with predators and large ships. They definitely gave the subwoofers a workout.

House - One thing I forgot to mention is that we had the trim of the house worked on this week. While our house is vinyl sided, the trim is all wood. The trim was painted and any boards that had signs of rot were replaced. In the spring the vinyl will be power washed with a mild detergent. Supposedly it'll make a significant difference as there's a fair buildup of dirt on it. For me it's hard to imagine since the house is just a neutral color. It's like saying "a more vibrant beige".

I love the picture of Abby and the cat!

Enjoyed the pictures Scott. Would you like one more cat for your collection?

Glad you liked the pictures. No, we don't want your cat! Our kids are scared of her. There's a reason Michelle and I used to call her PMS Kitty...

All kids are scared of Sassy/Kitty Dum Dum.
