Didn’t get a good photo of the kids on Halloween, but that’s ok. They had a great time, that’s what’s important.

Danny’s been sick with a fever for a few days, I decided to take Abi out to do something while Pro tried to get Danny to get some sleep. We went to Five Rivers Wildlife Sanctuary. I’ve been there a bunch of times and I remember people feeding huge turtles off the bridge over the lake, so I thought that would be a good idea. Sadly, we didn’t see any turtles, but it was fun to go for a nature walk with Abi. She didn’t mind the lack of turtles at all, she just like being outside and exploring someplace “new”. We had a great time. I’m sad we didn’t get to do more of this during this past summer.
So last year, I talked Pro into getting an iPad. I paid for some of it as a gift, and she paid the rest. I don’t use it much because the whole thing is set up for her, so even if she’s not here (like right now), it’s still a bit of a hassle to use. I told myself when I first starting playing with the iPad that I’d be getting the iPad 3 when it comes out, but now I’m not sure if I want to or not. One of the things holding me back was/is the iPad’s inability to generate content.
Skip ahead to this moment. I just bought Pro a wireless keyboard which works with the iPad. So, of course, for me a lightbulb has just clicked on. I can now blog from the iPad. So I’m giving it a try. The WordPress App isn’t so great, but I do like sitting here on the couch typing away on a tiny keyboard with no wires attached and no screen stuck in front of me (the iPad’s next to me on the couch).
Still not a perfect experience, but I like it.
We went to Nana & Grandpa’s house to make apple pies today. Abi loves that she can be helpful … she had a great time.
This project is for me to have a visual history of what went on this year, so it’d be a mistake not to include the fact that I’ve become a comic book nerd.
Yes, I know it’s pretty dorky and not something I should be owning up to, but I’m too old for smoke and mirrors … so I’ll just embrace my new found dorkiness. After all, it’s just a small brick in a growing nerd wall (disc golf, settlers of catan, chess, etc.)
