So Much to Do, So Little Time.

We've been busy since Christmas!

There were some water balloons thrown in March...

A trip to Moab and Arches National Park Utah over Spring Break...

Which consequently led us to be photographed UNDER arches...

And there were such amazing sights to see...

And when we came back the grass was green!

Just in time for Lillian's first birthday!

She was thrilled...

And then she ate cake.

All at once.

...

And she liked it.

Then the next weekend we went to the park.

And Madeline tried to show Lily how to swing.

But she was too wittle.

So mommy and daddy pushed her. And she liked that too.

Yay for Spring in Utah!

Singer 99 Memphis (Sphinx) Treadle Sewing Machine

My new baby is older than I am by around a hundred years. It's estimated to have been made between 1895 and 1920, with the closest guess being 1904. I bought it today in less than admirable cleanliness from a gentleman on KSL, and I am so proud of it that I have to share pictures. I cleaned it up and polished everything I could. You'd hardly recognize it from the first picture I saw of it.

I think I am going to start collecting vintage sewing machines...

Do you know how much I love you?

I love you this much.

Reef Tanks November 2011

Above is a new picture of Justin's 45 Gallon Reef Tank. In three years it has changed dramatically and in my opinion looks its best today. If you look closely, you can see his awesome Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish in the bottom left corner. Justin worked hard to get this amazing fishie to eat frozen food from within a net. This keeps him from attempting to eat anything else that is peacefully minding its own business in the reef system.

Below are two updated pictures of my 29 Gallon Biocube. Today I mucked about in it a bit installing the new rock on the right hand side. You can tell it is brand new because it is still bleach white in color. I'm trying to branch out a bit and get some hard corals growing in my tank. Because of this mucking about a few of my corals are a bit closed up. Still I am very proud to say that this tank is also dramatically changed since I bought it two years ago.
