Christmas Joy

Avery's winter recital

Avery is in the back row in a white shirt with red pinstripes. He starts out at what looks like the 3rd from the right. And below is Curran pretending to be Santa :)

Color themed...

So for my birthday I got a plethora of red ornaments for a gothic tree, but as black ornaments have been super-hard to find, it ended up being a super ruby red tree!

Geek at heart...

What do radioactive atoms watch during the holidays?


"It's a Wonderful Half-Life"

LOL! I'm so sorry :)

Learning a new tool...

This was the result of some playing around with the software Anime Studio Pro 6 that I got for my birthday. Hopefully it will get much much better! (In the program the first video is on loop so it looks kinda like flapping.) But this is some serious professional level software, so there is a lot for me to learn. And I can't help but laugh thinking that the second butterfly seems to take off like an airplane...

Pick your pose...

Still taking votes :)

The weather

It's been so dry! And not just in the 'I need lotion' sense, but in the lack of precipitation sense. And I know logically I should be happy it's not precipitating, because at these temperatures we'd just get dangerous ice on the road. But I'm having a hard time really getting into the holiday spirit without something falling from the sky :(
I feel like I'm in a creepy limbo land, stuck in between seasons.

We had a small chance of snow today according to Yahoo weather, so I stuck my head out the door just now hoping to see a sparkling dusting of snow. Instead I got a nose full of sulfur from our local factory. Ug. Not the cheeriest day ever...
