Website Design (click here to go)

Well. This is it. I built it over the weekend, thanks to mel's quality childcare.

projects

This is what I've been working on lately. It's not my typical style, which is often very machined and geometric, so I think it will go well in my book. I have a poster and a website to do for the event also, although I'm still getting the clients to dig up the imagery I'll be needing. It's a pretty standard problem-getting in their faces often enough so they understand why there is a delay.

I've been putting in time as the City of Stevenson webmaster also, lately doing basic updates to their brews blues and bbqs pages, which is essentially painting with a broom stick.

And my most wonderful masterpieces of all can be found at the recently updated blog

fall

this is a composition I'm working on-my own version of Vivaldi's 4 seasons. This is part of my fall season. I have a rhythm guitar part, and I'll probably figure out the drums on the fly when I get a chance to have actual guitar players. I want this about half again as fast, and some pretty fast chord work.

Happy Birthday Mom

Just wanted to wish mom a happy birthday. Unfortunately I am working and can't be there to celebrate but I think Jenn and kids will be down. Have a good one.

On the road again

Spring is here, at least as far as the fish are concerned. It is field work season again. I have managed to weasel out of most of the away from home field work this year. However I will be gone all of next week at Willamette Falls in Portland doing a study. It isn't that far from home but is just too long of hours (usually 7am - 6pm) to make the trip home at night. I am hoping Greyson will bring the family to visit me at the hotel.

The girls are doing great. We did our last breastfeeding yesterday which was hard for me. I know it was much more traumatic for me to stop then it was for the girls. I just couldn't keep up with it being away from them all next week and then being in Portland for training the following week. The babies are now 8 months old and doing great with their solid foods. They were around 75% for height/weight for their last checkup (I think). Except Piper had 95% for her head. Must be all those brains.

Greyson is busy with watching the girls and doing freelance projects when he can find the time. He has been taking the girls for a run in the jogging stroller almost every day and letting Ada run along.

I have to get out and prune the roses tomorrow. I should have done it last week since this warm weather has caused them to start leafing out already. That is all fro now, we will try to post some more baby pictures on the baby blog soon.
