Why you should ALWAYS wear your WiiMote wrist strap...

This is the kind of thing that people should see. It's like watching what happens to your brain in a bike accident with and without a helmet. I doubt anyone who sees this will use their Wii again without the wrist strap!

Some tech stuff

At Thanksgiving, a few people in Krista's family asked me to start posting the useful tidbits of helpful information I find online regularly. I know Julie does a lot of stuff with Photoshop Elements and wants to play with it a bit more. I figured this would be a good start:

First is how to remove objects from photos to clean them up:

Second is how to merge two photos together. Put yourself somewhere you've never been!

As I run across this stuff - I'll post more.

It's SNOWING!

I love snow and I love playing in it. I was even more excited to take Will out in it. I was working on Monday...the first day of real snow to play in. We all went out and met up with some neighborhood kids to play in the snow.

We also went over to their school where there are small hills to sled down. Even Conor and Will had a turn sledding. It was both their first time and they had a blast.


Overall, we had such a great time. Will had trouble grabbing anything or getting up once he fell but he loved watching everyone and did fairly well walking around in clunky boots. We were having so much fun we ended up staying out for over an hour and a half.
