This is what happens when nerds marry

Our balcony vegetable garden is doing great. We’re growing tomatoes (silvery fir tree and black seaman) and peppers in those large cake icing buckets from the grocery store. We’ve got over 20 tomatoes growing now, and two of them are already turning red! One green and two black peppers have started to grow too. We are also growing lots and lots of basil. Soon we will plant cilantro, spinach and alfalfa sprouts.

Zoe’s Mom found her parents’ old slide projector, with thousands of slides. There are pictures of weddings in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, pictures of missions trips in Africa, and lots of old family photos.

Elephant!

She dusted it off and began scanning the slides into the computer. When the old laptop started to buckle under the weight of 1000’s of scans, she called us. We set her up with an FTP account so that she can upload the photos to our server, and Zoe began searching for a script to allow easy browsing of the online photos.

I’m back from BC. It was really fun hanging out with extended family. We did some sight-seeing as well. I’ll post pictures and stories and stuff once Zoe and Mom get back.

For now, I leave you with this:

Way past the lineActually, she\'s the one who did it firstNot our baby. We stole him.

Zoe and I (and the Williams’) just got back from Mazatlan, Mexico!

We had a very busy week that involved the beach, swim-up bars, an island cruise, ATV’s, visiting with Oma, Opa and Zoe’s cousins, the Jarvis’s.

And a prickly pear.

It was an amazing week. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go and catch up a week’s worth of school work!

Cheers,
