Pictures: Ethan's World (And Friends)

40 Of 137 Will Have To Do

With some reshuffling of photos, I managed to squeeze in a selection of pics from this past weekend with Carmel, Vipul and family. I failed to mention (see entry below) that we also went to Mercier apple orchard - at least the shop, since there isn't much to see in the orchard in January. Mercier in Blue Ridge always has the BEST apple cider and fried apple pies - yum! Anyways, check out the album in My Picasa (on right).

Short Blurb

Hi Everyone!

We're back in Singapore after spending the past few days in Penang (Malaysia). Kelly's relatives met Ethan for the first time. We had many dinners, shopping trips, close encounters with wreckless (Penang) drivers -- or perhaps US driving habits are simply very tame in comparison -- and 499 pictures which are downloading as I type this entry!

With one more week to go until we are back in Blue Ridge, I will be sure to post a lengthy many entries and photos.

Love y'all,
Max

More Photos!

A DVD full of photos arrived in the mail! Thanks, Mom and Shar! I have uploaded several onto My Picasa, although it crashed on me several times due to our weak wireless internet connection upstairs. And I have noticed, viewing the pictures that were uploaded successfully, that some others have indeed been missed. I will have to delete some photos before uploading the rest though since I am running out of space on My Picasa. (already used up 90% of 1,024MB). They keep expanding the space given on the these free photo sites but setting a limit is just never a good idea (never enough space I say :-P ). So thanks, Mom, and though some repeat, I hope y'all enjoy!

More Photos

I uploaded some more pictures of the past couple of months. I am not sure if I have posted these on my blog already, though I know I have already done so on Facebook. I should have more pictures soon, taken with my mom and sister's cameras.

Rain, Yes!

This summer will likely go down as the driest, hottest summer in recent years (if not on record!). There's been much talk on the news of Atlanta running out of water! Period. Not low water, or "please do not put your sprinklers on" type of warnings, but no water at all - drinking, shower, toilet (flushing), nada. Lake levels have been so low their banks have been exposed and bare for months. Atlanta's population "boom" has had a lot to contribute to the general amount of water used, but the lack of the wet stuff ALL SUMMER LONG has not helped. But yay, today, it is *gasp* raining. Wet and gray as can be. And I've never been more welcoming of dreary.

More and more leaves are coming down, and trees are starting to hit their peak fall coloration. Tomorrow should be a great day for photo taking. It is expected to be clear (I think) and should be "fresh" as can be with the rains we are receiving just now. With Sharon and the girls arriving late tonight, I cannot wait until tomorrow when we can go out and enjoy the scenery and take some photos.

Elyse is coming too, and an avid kayaker and general outdoorsy type person, I am sure she will want to make the most of her visit here in Blue Ridge.

I am still trying to download pictures from mom's camera. When I do, I should have plenty to share, dating back to Ethan's birthday party to present.

Have a great weekend... y'all :-D

Ethan Photos: 11 Mo. Old

By popular demand, here are a few pictures we took of Ethan, now 11 months old. Enjoy!

ZOO

I opted to upload all our pictures from our recent trip to Nashville (on Picasa) instead of painstakingly posting them here. Click on ZOO to view them.

Pictures As Promised

Finally, my laptop is back in working order and digital camera and blogging may thus commence as before. I took a ton of pictures of all various angles and places in our house in Blue Ridge. They are not in any order and just random, and you can see the mess from our unpacking and such, but if only I had my gadgets working earlier, I could have shown all just how crazy and disorganized we were a week back (i.e. the pictures actually show a much better situation now). I will take some lake pictures next too though we've not had any time at all to go down to the lake (except drive by it on our way to/from the city downtown area). But as promised. Sorry it took so long! Now you can expect entries with more pictures than text hopefully. Love to everyone! And PLEASE come and visit us :-)

This Past Weekend In Pictures

A Khaki Bunch

Going to the Baha'i Center this morning, Kelly had this crazy idea we should all coordinate our attire with Ethan's outfit. So here are a couple pictures of our best attempt.
