This afternoon I dropped off the home study paper to the adoption agency. The home study is the first part to the adoption process that includes a very thorough background check. Now we’ll wait to hear back from a social worker as to the next step. I must say, the home study was not a simple questionaire, they ask a lot of personal questions, some of them more difficult than others. For example: Describe your childrearing philosophy.

Welcome back!

I finally got around to uploading our photos from the cruise we recently took. It’s taken me a little longer than I was hoping to get them posted as I have a boatload (heh, no pun intended) of digital photos that needed to be sorted and organized in iPhoto. I’m hoping in the future it should be quicker for me to get photos from the camera to the web, especially with the new Eye-fi wireless memory card (Thanks ma!). Click here to see the cruise photos on smugmug.

It seems like the latest rage on the net is the hundred pushups training program at hundredpushups.com. I’m now on week 5 of the program and it’s definitely getting harder! It seems to be working, as I can do more pushups now than I could a month ago. When I complete this program, I’m thinking of trying to apply the same principles to pull-ups. I’ve also been using the treadmill a lot more lately. The hardest part of getting or staying in shape is finding time to workout.?

So I redesigned the website. It’s going to be a little easier for me to maintain now, plus it looks cool. I’ve also decided to just use smugmug for displaying and storing our photos online. I’ll add more to it as I get time.

Update 10/30/08: I figured out how to move over most of the content from my old website. The posts are here, but many of the images that were in the posts are missing. I’ll try to fix that when I get time.
