Two Baby Goats

Last week, at the farmers' market, Jenny fell in love with these two goats. They are two days old.

First bike ride of 2009

Today is another Friday not at work. This morning, I pulled my road bike out of the garage for the first time this year. I am trying to make sure that I do something outdoors on all my Fridays off.

About five miles from our house, I found this little picnic area. The river is an offshoot of the San Jacinto River.

I looked for alligators. Sadly, none were around.

One Year

Today was our one year anniversary!


UPDATE: We tried out a new restaurant - Mary'z Lebanese Cuisine. Jenny's dad gave us a gift certificate a while ago, and we thought our anniversary was a good time to use it. Other than that, it was a pretty normal Saturday: farmers' market, book store, gardening, and cooking.

Our New Entertainment Center

Our living room was designed with an 8 foot tall empty nook in the main wall. It is pre-wired for surround sound. Also the space above the fireplace is pre-wired for mounting a TV.

I didn't want to buy a cabinet for the space. Instead I made a custom built-in unit. This was by far the biggest woodworking project I have ever done. I learned a lot.

It isn't complete yet, but we are almost there. We are going to paint it this week. We ordered a new TV, Blu-Ray player, and sound system already. The TV will be mounted above the fireplace. The components will be on one of the center shelves. The rest of the shelves will be filled with books, of course.

The bottom left shelf is perfectly sized for my old computer tower. I am going to connect it to the TV so we can watch web videos (like streaming Netflix movies) on it.

Burst Water Main

I have seen a couple news articles about water mains bursting in downtown Houston lately. On Saturday, I took this photo on Kirby. It was doing this for hours before someone got it under control.

Ely and Aurora

I took this photo of Ely and Aurora a couple weeks ago. I took many photos. Not one had them both smiling at the same time. This is the closest.
