Snow

Today, we got some snow, so I'm posting a couple of pictures of Alyssa playing in the snow. You'll notice in the first picture Alyssa is making a snowball. It didn't take her long to learn about making and throwing snowballs.

The Grouting Is Done!

I can finally say that I've finished grouting my new tile in the bathroom. It's taken quite a while, but I can now move on to other projects. Here's a picture that shows the border and some of the accessories, now with the grouting completed.

Eastern Redbud

This is an Eastern Redbud. It is the state tree of Oklahoma. It is the easiest to recognize at this time of year, because of it's red buds.

Hockey Action

My oldest son and me went to see the last home game of the Tulsa Oilers. This is one of the pictures of the hockey action I snapped during the game.

Lighthouse

I spotted this the other day, while riding my bike. It seems like quite a few people are hiring someone to carve something from an old tree, rather than having it cut down. This tree was carved into a lighthouse. It probably would have looked better if the tree had been straighter. This tree might have been better suited for carving the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Stacking Cards

We went to the Tulsa Home and Garden Show last weekend. One of the exhibits there, featured the Guiness World Record holder for card stacking. He was stacking cards at the show to make a big display. Here's a picture of what was built when we went to see it. Notice the concrete blocks on the right, with playing cards between them.



In my next picture, he's moved into the middle of the display to stack cards there, and you can see him at work.

Daffodil

This is a picture of a daffodil I snapped on my way home from work the other day.

Alyssa, Her Doll, and Matching Dresses

I know it's been a while since I've posted a picture, but I've been dealing with a death in the family, cars that won't start, and trying to finish my bathroom tile. Today, I'm posting a picture of Alyssa with her doll and they're both wearing matching dresses.

Alyssa's Hand

Here's another image shot with my macro lens. This is a picture of Alyssa's hand. I tried to get one without anything directly behind it, close enough to still be in focus, but she wouldn't cooperate enough for that. I could only get her to keep it open like this, with it resting on the bed.

Hockey Fight

Here's another picture from the hockey game. This is a picture from one of the many fights. This fight was a result of previous fights, the frustration of being 2 points behind, and the puck being jammed along the boards for too long.
