Photo captured by Dad!

Such a fun wedding week-end and celebration!  Happy Anniversary Bill and Erin!!!

Fourth of July!

Our Fourth of July "break" is wrapping up. The trip began with lots of fun in Milton celebrating Rick and Barb's 50 year wedding anniversary!  More pics to come...

Meatfest '20!

Jack googled, "how do I get a cat to like me".  The secrets worked as Ping engaged all week-end long!

Anniversary...Nano-versary...

Continuing with what has become a bit of a ritual...Steph and I got each other the new iPod Nanos for our 6th wedding anniversary. These are the new 5th gen Nanos featuring built in video recording capability, FM radio and pedometer... You might recall our 2nd anniversary featured the very first nano. Bill and Erin have done the nano-versary as well as you might recall!
These first pods are still active and kicking built will now be supplemented by the newer ones...Here they are... Steph got red and I went the aluminum color with my original black gen one Nano in the middle.



These new iPods haven't been the greatest...Steph isn't happy with the battery life...the software seems a little buggy (turns on when you pull the headphones out or in... and worst of all - doesn't seem to be backwards compatible with older iPod accessories like our rechargeable dock. Life as an early adopter can be painful....

But this blog post is about our anniversary more than iPods. We went got dressed up a bit and went to a nice dinner at Hawks Restaurant in Granite Bay. Fantastic service and good food.



Jack was in good hands with one of his teachers from school handling babysitting duties. Here's a snap from her phone she sent just before he nestled down.



Georgia Tech and Michigan handed us anniversary presents with nice victories on Saturday as well. Michigan destroying Delaware State and Georgia Tech upsetting 4th ranked Virginia Tech.

Today was generally a lazy day - Jack made a village on the hearth with his old Fisher Price people that were once Mom and Dads.



Have a great week!

Happy Nanoversary!

To celebrate being engaged for one year, Erin and I treated each other to new iPod Nanos! I went with Georgia Tech Yellow while Erin opted for Sex and the City Pink.




Between both our collections, we have Nanos from each of the four Nano generations. The black one is a first-gen 2 gig model. Then we have a red second-gen four gigger. Erin's blue third-gen (the squat generation) Nano is an 8 gig model. The two new ones also have eight.



Here Yuki displays the line-up.


Credit for inventing the Nanoversary goes to Robert & Steph as you may remember from this previous blog post.

iPOD Nano Crash Test

Steph and I decided to order two iPOD nano's for our 2 year anniversary. I got black and Steph got white. While we wait for them to show up here's a neat site the conducted a test on what it took to destroy the nano.
