2006 Blackrock Freeriding calendars...

For past couple of years I have been thinking of doing a freeriding calendar for the folks that ride at Blackrock (Falls City, Oregon). Since I have about a dozen decent pictures I took in 2005 with my Nikon D70 (11 of the 12 photos are mine), I finally got around to putting a calendar together (local bike shops like Santiam Bicycle in Salem, Oregon and Full Cycles in Corvallis, Oregon will offer them for sale)...

Kaylee's first trip to "doggie island"...

It was a nice fall day, so we loaded the dogs up in the truck and packed Kaylee's stuff up... and went to Minto-Brown Island Park (where the dogs can run). We call it "doggie island".

Took some pictures of Kaylee and Wendy at the park playing with Korshka. They're loaded in the "First Month" folder (family password protected) and some are also loaded to the public Kaylee friends/family gallery.

VIDEO: Kaylee - first day home from hospital...

Put together a short video clip of Kaylee (about a minute long). This was from video taken just minutes after getting home from the hospital on Saturday (October 29th).

I uploaded the video to our photo gallery. It's about 11 Megs - but is a streaming video (so begins to play as it downloads - if you've got broadband you should be able to watch it "real time").
