Happy 45th Wedding Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Well like I said at their 40th I would be lucky to have half the relationship my Mom and Dad have. I feel very lucky to have been brought up by these two:

I was chatting to my Dad this morning and he mentioned that it was beautiful up in PG today but it wasn't that nice on their wedding day. He said there was snow on the ground. He also told me that they got married in the auditorium at Sacred Heart as they were still in the process of building the church. It's amazing as I get older that these little detials become more important to me.

Also in honour of their wedding anniversary I thought I would post the pictures from all of the families weddings....I apologize if I am missing any:

Professional Photos of India

Well these pictures are over a year and half old but I never get tired of looking at them. We had two photo shoots of India - one when she was 4 weeks old and another when she was 7 weeks old. Here are the shots from that session:

Pictures of India

Well I have been meaning to get some pictures up of India in a way that everyone can access. Well I have decided to do this by posting images in my blog as well as linking to photosets. Here is a picture of India from our Sears shoot in PG this summer:

And here is a shot of her with her PG cousins:

Just showing Shawn Flock. Not sure what he thinks.

India's Back

Well Trish and India got back from Winnipeg last night. Boy did I miss my little girl. It was so great to see her but she was so tired. Trish has a little scare as they were boarding to Victoria from Calgary as India began to scream inconsolably. Then to top it off her nose began to bleed. Understandably Trish was concerned and talked to the flight staff as she got settled into her seat. India finally relaxed (only by Trish giving her the boob) but the flight staff called the medivac team in Victoria. So as I waited at the airport and everyone got off except for them I got a little concerned. Little did I know the medivac team was checking India out on the plane. Turns out she is absolutely fine and she was great today. Thank God.

Blink

This morning I went out and bought 'Blink' by Malcolm Gladwell after hearing Amber mention it on CommandN. Settled down to a nice breakfast at the Rebar and piled through 40 pages of it. So far, in typical Gladwell fashion, it will once again change how many people look at the world and their reactions in it. I am hooked.

EyeTV

Well my EyeTV bit the dust today. it has been flaky the last month or so to the point of unusability. I thought it was the strength (or lack there of) of my cable signal. However it turns out the the TV tuner burnt out on it. Elgato has offered me some refurbished models at a discount on it as it is beyond the warranty period.

The model I am thinking of getting is the EyeTV 200. It looks like it will definately meet my needs althougth the thought of dropping more cash burns me.....

Resemblances

I am beginning to see me in my little girl (people have been commenting on it forever). Here is a picture of me when I was a kid (I need to get Mom and Dad to confirm how old I am - I can't be more than 3).

Here is a picture of India when she is almost 2:

What do you think? I will find a couple of pictures that are more comparable and post them.

Checking Out Flock

Well I thought I would check out the abilities of the new Flock browser which is based on the Mozilla core. So far very interesting. I am actually posting this from within Flock which has a blogging tool built in. It remains to be seen how useful this is but I am sure it has features and functions I am unaware of at this time.
