It’s Time For A Gallery Update

Some of you may have noticed some changes to our gallery page.  I’ve recently started using the NextGEN Gallery plugin for Wordpress.  I like it much better than Coppermine which is what I was using before. When combined with the WP lightbox 2 plugin, it makes a very nice gallery.

At Holly’s request, I’ve also re-enabled the password protection on the page.  It’s not 100% secure since I currently have a random preview image showing in the sidebar, but it should help keep unwanted visitors from lingering a bit too long.

To go along with this new gallery format, I’ve added pictures from Halloween and Nick and Chelsea’s wedding.  I’ve also added a pic of me feeding a mouse to an owl and some random images of the kids.  If you would like to check them out, and don’t remember the page password, please feel free to use the contact page to let us know that you want to see things.  Or, you can just give us a call and we can tell you.  Whatever is easier for you.

I Need To Do Better

UNOFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

For those who have not heard yet, my sister, Chelsea, is engaged.  Since it’s not my wedding, I’ve been spared from having to do too many things.  One thing that I did volunteer for though is making a DVD slideshow of Chelsea and her love interest, Nick.  I get to choose what pictures and music are used.  Can you say “bathtub pictures”?  It’s going to be fun.

On Sunday, I started going through stacks of old pictures deciding which ones I was going to use.  As I was looking through Chelsea’s scrapbook, I found pictures of my graduation, when I went on my mission, our mom at an Amway convention, and my first Christmas with Holly.  It was like taking a trip down memory lane.
