Grandmom's 88th Birthday

We went to Baltimore to see my grandmother before her 88th birthday.

Always prepared, we didn't have enough candles, and so decided eight would suffice.

Trip to visit Brian

Brian, Me, Michael

Why does the flash either go off too quickly, or take entirely too long?

Brian, broken window, Michael, Me

Here's a quick lesson for the unwary: Never get into a car with my brother.

Susan's Visit

Susan, Michelle, Michelle, Mark

Susan and I got to have lunch with Michelle and Mark.
Mark is a little unsure of me, as I told him that I do bite.

Michael, Michelle, Susan

I love the self-timer on my camera.

Michael, Susan, Michelle

I was trying to see if the camera was centered correctly to fit everyone in the picture.
Please note that I was the one who set the timer on the camera.

Baltimore

Aquarium

We visited the National Aquarium while we were in Baltimore. I have to say that overall I like the Newport Aquarium better, but we did really enjoy the dolphin show, and the rain forest was quite nice, although we would have enjoyed that more without the screaming kids. I definitely want to see the place again when they're done with the contstruction.

Poisonous frogs!

Grandmom's House

All play and no work makes Jack a dull boy, right? Well, perhaps not, however we did do some work on Grandmom's house over spring break.

A new (bigger) light above the washer, that's no longer on a pull chain, but on the same switch as the stair light.

A switch for the lights by the workbench, and eventually for the rest of the basement

Family

I don't know about your family, but mine is a lot of fun.






Math's Eagle Honor Court

So... We were running late (surprise surprise) and I left my camera in the car during the ceremony. However I requested copies of the pictures Uncle Gary took.

Maggie's Christening

Michael and Maggie

Michael doesn't freak out nearly as much as he used to when asked to hold a baby. It could be because Maggie is a very good baby.

Grandmom

I took a lot more pictures, but this is one of the only ones I really liked.
