Pandora!

Wow, John Liles just brought an unbelievable new free music website called Pandora to my attention. I won't get too much into details, other than to say it's one of the most amazing free services I've ever encountered. For those who are more interested, I've included a link to the site so you can visit by clicking here. I highly recommend checking it out. It's like being able to program your own commercial-free radio station, but they let you design up to 100 of them. You've really got to see it to believe it. Enjoy.

Blur

Although this photo is slightly blurry, it's a good one of Susan putting the final touches on our little tree.

We send out our warmest holiday wishes to everyone, and we hope that the upcoming holidays are happy for all. 

Tree trimming

Susan's mom, Joanna, came over Saturday night to help trim the tiny tree we bought. Little tree for a little house, and just like on a Charlie Brown Christmas, all it needed was a little love. 

New links added

If you look to the right hand side of the page, there are some new links where you can always find something interesting.

I strongly recommend checking out WWOZ, the public jazz and heritage station in New Orleans. It's up and running again with awesome music, no advertisements, and you can listen online.

Hold steady

This photo was one that required the camera be held very still for seemingly an eternity. Luckily, I got this decent shot on the second try, before Elise could get bored with the experiment. This shot and the four right below were taken 6 December 2005; Crowley, La.

Baby sister!

Elise holding her new baby sister in Crowley. See how tender they gaze at one another now; how tender will it be when little sis gets into big sis' stuff? ;) 

Dad, Daughter and Mimi

Elise and Mom looking pretty and me and my crooked smile.

Cindy Lou Who's mom...

...was Elise's role. She had a speaking part and got to wear her hair super wild. She made me and the rest of the family all proud.

 

The Grinch

This photo is the set of the play put on by Elise and her third grade class, featuring the Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
