First day of school.

Indian Lodge at Davis Mountains State Park. Our trailer is down there somewhere.

Rock climbing seemed easier when I was 18.

I'm getting these out of order, but here are some more Davis Mountains vacation pictures.

Here are some pictures of our Inks Lake and Davis Mountains vacations.

Cookie and Friends

We've been heading to Rock Creek Park every day, where Cookie has made a new best buddy, Anka. They get along very well.


Cookie loves to be pampered.


Sometimes it's a sleepy household. Don't mind the mess...


Everyone loves toys from the pet store!

Sadie's ballet rehearsal was this afternoon. The concert is Saturday night but we aren't allowed to take any photos or movies so I took a alot today. I only added one video as the other (her main performance) was too long to add here.

3rd Knife

I finished my 3rd knife this week. Hope you like it.

The handle is Redwood Burl.

It has been awhile, put a few photos to test the blog. New computer....

Deep thought!!

Well, as you may know, I've been trying to develop into a knifemaker and sheathmaker in my "spare" time (read, the wee hours of the morning).

I just finished my second knife this week and last night made a sheath for it with beaver tail inlay.

Here's some pics.

(I don't know why they go all out of sequence like this but anyway...)

edit: The other sheath pics didn't show the colouring properly.

Matthew's birthday

He really is happy here!

This morning

Cookie's Blog

Since nothing apparently has been going on, our dog, Cookie, has decided to start her own blog, right here! Spring is fully upon us, as evidenced by the daffodils in full bloom, and one of Cookies favorite activities is to go to the trail near our house.







It has plenty of trees to sniff, a paved trail to walk on, and lots of squirrels for her to chase! It also has a wonderful stream for her to play in!

Sometimes she just likes to look out and contemplate life.

She even brings Jen and me along with her!

At the end of the day, when she's all wet and dirty, she even gets treats!
