It’s a boy!

Filed under: — Laura @ 9:07 pm

Our new grand-dog, that is. Nicole has a new baby! His name is Ranger and he has the cutest ears! He is a 16 week old Chiuahua/Schnoodle mix, which her dad says, makes him either a Schnoodleahua or a Chischnoodle (say it fast and it sounds like cheese-noodle!) Thanks for the pictures, Nicole. Can’t wait to meet him and see you!

Obsession

Filed under: — Laura @ 7:10 am

After obsessing for days on my Photoshop final project, it is done. Well almost done. (Is anything ever really done?) I have to transition to my Illustrator final (not yet started) and math homework. Oh, and those other little things that crop up like work and roofers. Anyway, here it is. A room, based loosely on my own house, with some obvious poetic license taken to incorporate various projects from the semester (that teapot took me most of the drive to Oregon and back!) It’s all mine, right down to the individual redwood needles! And Ginger sleeping in the middle of it all. Of course, if this were truly accurate, she wouldn’t be on the floor … she’s more of a bed dog.

ps. Click on the image above to see a larger version. Not recommended for slow internet connections! Still, these jpeg images are tiny compared to the Photoshop file. At over 40 megs, it’s twice as big as my first hard drive of oh-so-many-years ago!

Westi saves the day! Mom’s Day, that is …

Filed under: — Laura @ 9:28 pm

Mom asked for pictures of Westi’s house for Mother’s Day and well, that is what she’s getting. I had something else up my sleeve but I spent too long tearing up the house looking for my passport in anticipation of making Costa Rica a reality (thank you Mom and Dad!), and I didn’t get it done. (Didn’t find my passport either.) But Westi sent pictures and saved the day. Their new house is very beautiful and oh-so-close to us. And, as Westi has mentioned more than once, she has a spare room for when you come to visit, Mom. Enjoy the pictures and have a wonderful Mother’s Day. Wish we were close enough to spend it with you.

ps. Click on the little pictures to see them full-size. The thumbnails only show part of some of the photos.

¡Felicitaciones, Michele!

Filed under: — Laura @ 12:51 pm

Ok, now I look bad … not only does my little brother have a Doctoral degree by my BABY sister has her Masters. And I’m (blissfully) taking undergrad classes at a community college. Sigh… now I feel old AND underachieving! Oh well, I’ll take my inspiration from you, Michele… I just picked my fall classes … more algebra, java programming and … (here’s the inspiration part) Spanish. Probably not this summer to Costa Rica but maybe someday we can travel and practice together, Michele. First, I have a lot of catching up to do.

So again, congratulations, Michele. I’m glad you finally figured out what the rest of us knew all along … you’ll be a profesor increíble!

ps. Dad should be able to download pictures at your house as long as he has the mini-usb cable along with him.
