Project 365-004: First day of School : Today Jacob started pre-school. So at 10 to 9 this morning we headed out in the snow to walk to the school. He was very excited about starting school today, though the thought of making foot prints in the snow kept him walking in the cold. Dropping him off went without a hitch, he almost didn’t even say good bye ... (posted Jan 4, 6:26pm)

Cloud Gazing: Picnik : The thought of an online photo editor always seemed silly to me. Why waste the time uploading your images just to edit them. There are a ton of great editors for windows, why move it out to the cloud. That was before I really started using Flickr and other online photo sites. Even then I saw the online image editors ...

The Santa Experience : On Saturday we dressed the kids up and headed to the local mall for half hour with Santa. He sings songs, reads stories and does magic tricks. It seems like a much better way for the kids to see Santa then waiting in line and getting 2 minutes posing for a picture. Jacob had a good time and did pretty ... (posted Dec 15, 10:59pm)

To Nap or not to Nap : Over the last little while we’ve been having some bedtime issues with Jacob. When he has his afternoon nap he doesn’t want to go to bed, sometimes it’s 10 or 11 before he finally goes down for the night. So you think get rid of his nap, but that’s easier said then done.
