Max wakes up for Christmas

Hey! werz me prezents!

Oran got a new camera recently. I am sure if you have been within earshot in the last few weeks he would have been told all about it. The camera is a Casio EX-H10. Here are the stats: 12.1 MP, 10x Optical zoom, 1000 shots per battery charge. So far, Oran has charged the battery once two weeks ago and have taken around 150 shots. The battery still reads full.

Oran took a walk and a drive and has pictures from in the house, walking around the neighborhood and out at Beluga Point. Here are some samples:

Whitter Fishing Trip

Our fishing trip path took us from Whittier to Lone Island, then through Culross Pass and then back to Whittier. We bagged two Halibut and one Red Snapper.

Our Red Snapper picture did not come out too clear but is still a worthwhile picture.

The trip was a success. Oran pulled in the two Halibut and Jennifer pulled in two of these rock fish (one is the red snapper above, the other -below- was a catch and release - which lived and swam off to feed for another day)

The New House

It's taken us a little while to get settled enough to post. We statred moving into the new place at the end of Feburary. Here are some before and after pictures of our work to fix it up:

This is a picture of the house before we started stripping the old rawhide. We had to cut the tree down because it was growing into the road and the driveway in a number 4 configuration.

After many labor hours of stripping, wood treating, and recoating with Log Home the front now looks like:

This is the before and after of the back corner of the hosue.

Before and after of one of our bathrooms (there are two).

And here is the famous clown room:

We still have a lot of work to do. Oh the joys of home ownership.
