It's a new year.

As we march into this new year of 2009, I thought it a wonderful opportunity to add some new pictures to the blog. You will also note that as a homage to Dad, I've changed the background a bit. Dad, like Sir Edmund Hillary, was a beekeeper in his younger days and although Dad never climbed Mt. Everest, he certainly scaled the heights of our emotions. He was a wonderful dad, husband and grandpa. He only began his duty as Great Grandpa Bud when he left us to perhaps look for the sweet honey of the hereafter. So when you see a bee you will know to address it as Bud the Bee. I do.

Here's a few new pics of those wonderful little guys (and girl) in my life. Haley playing in the rain; Jason happy with his Wii; and Jim with his motorcycle helmet (I think?!)

Happy New Year!
