"He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife."

- Douglas Adams

Lori has recently joined me in watching the first season of Battlestar Galactica. I'm noticing that it's got a lot of religious themes in it. Which is a bit mind-boggling, when you really think of it - robots that believe in God? I find this quote to be particularly appropriate. We're both enjoying the show quite a bit, by the way. I didn't originally ask Lori to join me, as I didn't think it would appeal to her much. But after accidentally watching an episode or two while waiting for Carter to fall asleep, it's piqued her interest. The depth of the characters on the show is really pulling us in.

I Win!

Posted on July 7, 2009 by joel
The other day the kids were riding bikes in the driveway, and Sean suddenly got it into his head that he wanted to run. At not just run, but race. So he set up the cones, and talked his sister into running with him. Although in all honesty, she didn't need much convincing. The best part is when he wins a race - he sings "I win! I win!", all which doing some kind of little dance. In one of the shots below, you can see part of that dance.

Here's a cute picture of Carter with Grampy-Big-Red-Truck. He came to visit the other day, and Carter was ecstatic. When I see pictures like this, it reminds me why we moved back to New England. I could live without the power outages all winter, the snow-shoveling, the sticky summer heat (without central A/C), and all of that - but family makes it all worthwhile.

Cuties

This is just a cute photo I found on my computer last night, and had forgotten to post when it actually happened. I think it is one that Lori took the week before our vacation.
