Lauren was very excited to build a snowman last weekend. She has been waiting for the snow so she could try out her new shovel and sled. Jessalyn seems to be more comfortable in her snowsuit. However, walking without falling is still a bit of a challenge.

I guess we fell a little behind. There are quite a few new sets of pictures on Flickr. Some of Lauren's new artwork has also been added.
The easiest way to find pictures is to search or use tags. Tags are labels or keywords that describe where a picture was taken, who is in it, etc. We have given every picture one or more tags. You can see all of the tags Jefftag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395086.post-1152511686568927192006-07-10T01:08:00.000-05:002006-07-10T01:08:07.213-05:00The Muny! - a photoset on Flickr
Lauren went to the Muny for the first time last night. She saw the Wizard of Oz with Karri. She even took a nap in the afternoon so she could go. Shows at the Muny start at 8:15, which is after her bedtime. They got back to the house around midnight. Lauren was excited that the fireflies came to watch the show as well.Jefftag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395086.post-1151770778834141292006-07-01T11:19:00.000-05:002006-07-01T11:24:29.286-05:00Quick Flickr Tips
Comments and notes, mouse over the picture, can be added to any picture. You can also lable a picture as 'A Fave'. Look for the buttons above the pictures. You will have to be logged in to Flickr to do these tricks. See the links for examples.Jefftag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395086.post-1151770090569984292006-07-01T11:08:00.000-05:002006-07-01T11:22:37.620-05:00Flickr SetsKarri has been uploading quite a few pictures lately to Flickr. She is trying to add new pictures daily. The best way to browse the pictures is by clicking on the labeled 'Sets'. They are the smaller thumbnails going down the right side of our Flickr page. The main 'photostream' are the larger pictures on our Flickr page arranged in two columns on the left. The main photostream includes all of Jefftag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395086.post-1151465895497576032006-06-27T22:38:00.000-05:002006-06-27T22:45:15.786-05:00Caramel MacchiatoLauren and I went to Michael's Swiss Inn last weekend for hot chocolate and coffee. Michael's has a full coffee bar that serves Starbucks. A picture of a Caramel Macchiato on the wall caught my eye right away. I caved in and ordered one for the first time. Before we left, Lauren's hot chocolate was spilled all over the floor and I had to have the recipe for the Caramel Macchiato.

Yesterday she started trying on her own without our encouragement. Just now, she got up and walked across the living room. She did it multiple times and thinks she is pretty cool.Jefftag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395086.post-1150908702241599482006-06-21T11:48:00.000-05:002006-06-21T11:51:42.316-05:00sinead.jpg sinead.jpg Originally uploaded by DBQjen.

Flickr is constantly evolving as more features are added, deleted, or made easier to use. Most recently, the layout of pages have seen some improvements. Everything feels a little more 'logical' and easier to navigate.
Sets with thumbnail previews go down the right side of the page. The most recent photos Jefftag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395086.post-1150705374200146832006-06-19T03:22:00.000-05:002006-06-19T03:22:54.240-05:00City Museum
We went to the City Museum in St. Louis on Sunday. It is more of a giant artistic playground than a museum. Karri has posted some photos on Flickr. Do this search on Flickr

A severe storm blew through the St. Louis region on Sunday April 2nd. We were at LAX in Los Angeles getting ready to fly home when our neighbor called with the bad news. The mature maple tree in our backyard was destroyed and resting on the roof over the garage. A Bradford Pear in the backyard was also knocked over.

Superbowl Sunday! It's the biggest sporting day of the year! I'm going shopping.
All the guys out there are thinking 'groan' "He is being dragged to Kohls, Target, etc. his wife." "The poor guy..."
In reality, it was my decision to go shopping. The only thing I'm worried about missing are the commercials and the Rolling Stones half-time show. Thank goodness for VHS.
