i’ve been mucking w/ the site again, tweaking settings and changing themes. there is more of this to come. last night i added a plugin to push out my posts to the social sites that i frequent. so consider this paragraph a test for that.
now to the plea for forgiveness… i’ve re-started (is that a word) getting into photography as a hobby. this is not a cheap hobby to be in, but i have been VERY good about my spending habits, e.g., only spending when i have approval :).
today, i made my first impulse buy at rockbrook camera… the tc-80n3 (nice descriptive name), i.e., canon’s timer remote control.
amy, please forgive me and of it helps, i got a deal (grin).
amy, the boys and I became members of fontenelle forest today. we were supposed to go canoeing down the platte river but with the weather not cooperating we decided to go hiking instead. we all got “geared up” with our camelbak’s and headed on out.
i tried finding their trail map online but was unsuccessful, so I took the brochure they gave me and scanned it in. If you are interested you can see it here and the route we took was A to B to D to C.
the boys had fun, but it was a little long for Kael and he is sleeping now. both the boys were “troopers” and walked the whole way stopping to check out all the bugs. we saw: ladybugs, millipedes, snails, turtles, ducks, train tracks (which we had to walk over and back), the missouri river, tom’s tree house and turkeys.
we will be going back :)

Each year the American Lung Association hosts an annual Asthma Walk. People all across the country participate in the walk to raise awareness and money for asthma research and education. This year’s walk will begin at 10:00am at the Civic Auditorium in Omaha on Saturday, April 25th. The walk will be in conjunction with the Omaha Health, Wellness & Fitness Expo so feel free to wander through the exhibits after the walk.
As a Respiratory therapist that is the wife and mother of asthmatics this issue is very important to me personally as well as professionally. My husband, Jamie is a life-long asthma sufferer and both of my sons, Guy and Kael, have unfortunately followed in Daddy’s footsteps.
This is my 4th year as Captain of Ambassadors for Asthma Awareness. With help from family, friends and co-workers like you, we have raised over $1000 each of the last couple of years. Each year we grow not only in financial support but also in team members. I am hoping that you will support us by joining the team, signing up to walk or simply making a tax-deductible donation.
