Met with UCP and someone from the school district about other equipment and toys for Christina. Good meeting and lots of brain storming.

I think Christina might be a little spoiled. ;)

The colder temps have been a nice change. It's cold, but its winter and has been quite mild.

Christina's surgery went well; however, now the princess is coming down with a cold or something. We'll plan on a mellow weekend. If I'm lucky maybe some serious cuddle time with my baby.

Pretty Pictures of the Princess.

Well I have the house decorated and the outside stuff up for the holidays. Christina had fun helping me hang some lights and decorate the tree.

Christina loves being outside in the cold and snow. She walked super well in the gait trainer outside. I was impressed how well with all the layers of clothing.





More pics to come when I get them done.

Yup, it has been awhile since I posted. The first reason... I have been lazy. The second, I had a hdd crash and needed to start from scratch with software.

Now would be a good time to reinforce the importance of backups. I lost no data. Items I did not lose: pictures, videos, music, documents, email, etc. Backup, backup, backup!!! Make sure you have two. That means there are at a minimum three copies of a single piece of information. I'll list them original, backup number 1 which is stored locally like on a external drive or CD/DVD, backup number 2 which is off site like at a family members house or a lock-box or a third-party service.

Christina has been loving school. The princess is growing up so fast. The pictures lately have really shown the older features in her face.

We've been going going going most of the summer so I think it is a good time for a weekend at home. With lots of play time.

Crap realized the time, gotta get ready for work and finish up the cooking.

With Christina in school today I find myself wondering what to do and the list of chores swirling in my head.

I figured I would start 'ripping' my cd collection. I knew it would be quite the undertaking, but it isn't going to bad so far.

I am debating what method to use to make a backup of pictures and video onto DVDs. After going through the software list already installed everything I found uses a proprietary format. Not too sure I want to go that route. I also need to use some sort of compression, or at least I should. Doing some quick math there should be about 15 DVDs of uncompressed so far. Maybe that is the way to go, just start burning and if it takes a lot so be it.

Christina really enjoys school; however, it has been wearing her out. She is so tired in the evening and wants to keep going. The princess does not want to go to bed early. Probably figures she may miss something.
