Christmas 2008 in Orange County, California

The slabs are done!

While we were out of town for the holidays, the concrete was poured for our new addition and our new storage building.

Here is the slab for the addition on the back of the house:



And here you can see the slab for the storage building in the back.

Home improvement project under way

This is from a few days ago. This is the preparation to pour concrete for a new addition on the back of our house. They actually finished the rebar yesterday, so it is more complete than this picture shows. We should be getting the concrete poured tomorrow.

Giant ball o' bags

This is why I like working downtown. You sometimes see weird stuff like this. I took this at 7th and Congress on my lunch break today. Some guy was pushing around this giant ball o' bags. Taken from my cell phone (which is not an iPhone).

Hey, who is that guy?

Last weekend, D's woodwind quintet played at the Lutheran Social Services annual Christmas party. Every year Santa is there, so J got a few pics of BabyBoy with Santa. Although, BabyBoy is not so sure about this guy with the big beard and hat.

Shopping with BabyBoy

It's been a while since I've blogged, due to illness. Here is a photo I took with D's new iPhone yesterday afternoon outside of the Super Target. And it was a super big Target, by the way.

Finally playing with my new MacBook Pro!

I spoiled myself with a new early Christmas present: a new MacBook Pro. I decided it was time to upgrade since my old laptop is about 3 or 4 years old and is having a hard time keeping up. I want to do more with the videos I have been recording of BabyBoy, and want to learn iMovie. And now that I have an Intel Mac, I can also use VMWare Fusion and run Windows. I got it on Friday (yes on Black Friday...doing my part for the economy!) but I am just now this evening playing with it and getting things set up and installed the way I like it.
