As Promised, Some Pics of Isaac

Uncle Seth shared some photos of the fun Isaac has been having in IL.

See them on his blog here.

Last Day of the Long Weekend

Of course we went to the park tonight.

Came home and put the boys to work washing the truck.

Isaac is having a blast in IL, Uncle Seth promises pictures soon from some of their adventures.

Playing with a new lens.

I decided a little zoom never hurt anyone, so I decided to give a Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 a try. I was anxious to bust it out and make sure I got a sharp copy, I think it'll do just fine. Now if I can just remember to actually use the zoom on the lens instead of zooming with my feet like I do with my primes.

Another Week in Review

Isaac found this teeny tiny caterpillar in the backyard. You may have to click on the picture and make it bigger to be able to see it.

We went to LeMar's donuts one morning for breakfast.

Spent a gorgeous evening at the park the night that Grandpa Aaron and Grandma Judy arrived.

From this this morning, Isaac waiting for G+G to come pick him up for his first all-by-himself adventure in IL for 12 days!!! He was so excited and mommy, well, mommy is counting down the days until we head to IL ourselves.

Train Derailment

Two weeks ago there was a train derailment one town over from us caused by someone putting a tree trunk on the tracks, you can read the news story here and see how much more wreckage there was initially.

There was still some of the crash left on the sides of the track, so yesterday I went over to take a look and some pictures. I am posting a lot of pictures, so I made them small, click on them to make them bigger if you'd like.

Sets of wheels all over the place, looked like model train parts tossed to the side.

The whole wheel assembly of this box car is gone.

If you enlarge this picture, you can see spilled grain. It was all over.
