Yeah for Picasa!!!

Well folks, I have discovered a program that will resize pictures on our PC. Prior to this I had to transfer any pictures to a memory stick, pull out the old Mac laptop, transfer the pictures to the Mac, resize and then blog. It was a bit of a process. This is much easier. I knew there must be some way of doing it but had never bothered to investigate. I am very excited to be typing this at our normal computer.

It has been a very enjoyable past few weeks. We had a wonderful visit with Jen's parents and sister. They drove up in their trailer and stayed for a week at a local campground. Unfortunately it was pretty rainy the week before they came. This meant they had a small river running through their campground and... mosquitoes. Wow. Lots of mosquitoes. Luckily they brought their screened in dining tent.Here is Caleb in the dining tent, in his paypen, with mosquito netting over that. Despite all this they still managed to bite him a couple of times. Luckily neither the bites nor the mosquitoes bothered him at all. Unlike the rest of us.


Here is the campsite. Opa and Oma Batterink stayed there, while Auntie Kristin stayed at our house. Each day we would drive out to visit them or they would come over. It worked out really well.

Caleb meeting Oma again... he hadn't seen her since he was two weeks old. Lots has changed since then!!

Getting ready to hike the Prospector's Trail with Opa.

I managed to convince them to come help me weed and water the garden. Many hands make light work.

Kristin enjoying some Cable TV while at our apartment... a luxury since they only have 'Peasant Vision' at their house.

We managed to stop swatting mosquitoes long enough to pose for a picture.

Caleb desperately trying to reach something he thinks will be interesting. He wants to touch everything!!! He loves to grab at whatever we are eating or drinking too.


And finally some pictures of the incredibly cute Caleb. He is lucky to be so adorable, as some days, it is the only thing saving him from being sold to the funny farm... especially at 2am, when he is wide awake and wanting to play.

Awww he is super cute.

The playpen with bug cover in bug tent was a good idea.
