Happy Holidays

xmas tree

finally got it up

Just like finding a $20 in the coat pocket...

...it's always nice to find pictures on the camera you forgot you took. These are left over from Halloween and Noel / my 1yr Anniversary.

These were taken before / after we took Noel's Brother's Rugrats to Boo at the Zoo. Kirah was a ladybug and Salaya was a pink cat. It was a fun but tiring experience.

The pics below were taken at the Cornerstone Mansion aka The Offutt House aka the bed and breakfast located across the street from the Joslyn Castle. Noel's mom was nice enough to send us some ferns reminiscent of our center pieces from the wedding last year. Sadly these are the only pictures we thought to take.

Peanut Butter Jelly Time

It's hard to believe Halloween was one week ago. I wore my PBJT costume to work in addition to my "Old White Male" costume, which was for our friday afternoon office Presidential Debate. A co-worker was kind enough to get this footage.

MN Family Vacation

Each year my folks, sister + husband, noel and I head up to Minnesota for some late summer R+R. Here are a few pics from the trip.

Brew Crew

Looks like I joined the Brew Crew at the right time. Since joining the Brewers went from a record of 31-28 to 57-43. They are now 1 game behind the cubs and 2 over the cardinals in the NL central and have the 4th best record overall. I don't want to take all the credit, I'm sure the aquisition of C.C. Sabathia had something to do with it, but numbers don't lie.

Debeardation

Fear not - this year's beard is still in full swing. Today's spring like weather and Brunoswim's MFM series reminded me of these pictures I took last spring of the beard removal process. The original plan was to sport both the mutton-chops and stache for a couple days each; however, I chickened out and went right to the stache, which lasted for a weekend.
