There's Just Something About Childrens' Laughter...

This clip speaks for itself...

They never had stuff like this when I was a kid!


You know these refrigerator letters we always had growing up? There always seemed to be a mix of good ones and bad ones. The good ones had vibrant colors and stuck to the fridge securely. The bad ones had itty-bitty magnets (seemingly) designed to hold up 90% of each letters' weight. Close the fridge door too hard and half that days' words toppled to the floor.

Well not any more.

Not only do Ashton's words stay where their supposed to, a friendly child's voice announces each letters' name and sound!!! Enjoy the video...

Official "Welcome" Post

Greetings family and friends to my first "Official" Blog post! Yesterday's post was primarily for practice (at blending in pictures and video).

In response to all of the warm and flattering replies many of you (you know who you are) have sent over the years regarding my Kodak Gallery emails, I've decided to expand upon the Ashton updates (with a little of me thrown in for flavor) by creating this WeBlog. I'd like to give special thanks to my cousin Syd for (unknowingly) planting the seed for this new endeavour with her own site.

This is my first such attempt, so have patience as (hopefully) the content and appearance improve over time.

For any of you who aren't familiar with this type of site, a Blog (or weblog) is an online journal of sorts. The advantage (for me) of this format is its convenience and simplicity. As new and/or exciting things happen in our lives, I can simply email that info to a special address, and it will automatically post to these pages.

My Kodak Gallery emails have been a wonderful means of communication, but they lack commentary and (more importantly...especially to you Dr. W) VIDEO!

So please bookmark this page, and visit as time permits. I will occasionally send out reminder emails when really, really cool things happen that just have to be shared immediately.

I invite everyone to click on the "Comments" link on each of these posts. Your feedback (as always) is greatly appreciated.

A day around Savannah's historic squares....


Ashton and I recently spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon exploring the squares in downtown Savannah. We had a wonderful time.
Although I work in the historic district, its rare that I take the time to enjoy its charm. One of the great things about having a rambunctious 2 1/2 yr old is he encourages me to get out of the house more and explore.
After hours of site-seeing daddy was winding down, but as this video shows, Ashton was just getting warmed up :)
