    So, with the ditching of the frames came a bit of a prettying up for this page. Note the background image in the lower-left. Those are actually some photoshopped leaves from our plant, George.

  • We’re expecting, by the way…

    For those who haven’t heard yet, we are expecting our second child. Due date is August 10th. We’re scheduled to go camping up north the week before that, so that could be an interesting trip.
