The Coehoorns - Sunday, June 22, 2008

Sunday, June 22, 2008

We went to my cousin Kara's graduation party today. She is co-valedictorian of her class, which is very impressive. I got to see a lot of family I hadn't seen in a while, and a one family member I had never seen before at all-- another cousin's new baby that was only about 2 weeks old:

Alice had a lot of fun, too, especially after Grandma and Grandpa arrived. There was also a puppy to play with:

While she was excited to see the puppy, she got very nervous whenever she came too close:

VBS and more

Alice had a lot of fun at VBS this week. Mommy and Daddy had a nice vacation, too, but we're glad Alice is home. We went to Elkhorn on Friday for the last day to see the closing program. Here's a picture I took of Alice and Grandpa:

Alice is getting a lot better on the stairs, which is a good thing. We are still concerned about the top of our home staircase, though, because the stairs twist there and if you're not paying attention you can step down straight to the 2nd or even 3rd stair. To keep Alice from accidentally falling there I built a little barrier out of some scrap plywood. It's nothing fancy, but it's enough to keep her from stepping down there:

In Other News

We now have a new floor in the bathroom, and it looks great! Thank you, Dad, for the hard work to make it happen.

Also, I have a new ring-tone. I ripped the drum-line sequence from Veggie-Tales: Gideon- Tuba Warrior.

Finally, I have a new (used) video card coming. ATi Radeon HD 2650 Pro 512MB, with a big heat-sink instead of a fan, so it should run very quiet. One day when it's no longer sufficient for gaming this will make a great card for a Home Theater PC.

Some Pictures

Here are a couple pictures I took with my phone this week:

I had to zoom in close to get a good shot for the first one, so it's not very big:
