Tuesday May 10th

Katie and Roe are back home in Atlanta now. They left yesterday after being here since May 29th. I wish the weather was better for them, but you know ALGORE's Global Warmin' has screwed up the weather. I think they had a pretty good time though. They did a good job of taking advantage of some indoor tourist attractions---like the Experience Music Project, Seattle Aquarium and the Chihully Glass Museum (I think watching a glass blowing exhibition was one of the highlights of their trip). Hailey is a darling baby...very happy and enjoying the world around her. Roe is a wonderful, attentive Dad and is very patient when she gets fussy.

The first weekend we went up to the island to visit family, do the "tour" and meet Hailey's GREAT grandparents, aunts and uncles. We did as best we could with all of the rain.

Melissa and I are talking about going somewhere there is "SUN" for a weekend. It would be nice to get out of here for a few days and refresh. Melissa is voting for the Sonoma Valley area--wineries, sun and heat all sound great.

I put some new photos up on my Flickr page (link on the right) if you wanted to go take a look. A lot of these I have been just ignoring until I could find the time and desire to work them over in Photoshop. Last Friday was the day and today I posted the ones that survived the editing process.

Melissa's daughter, Katie, is leaving for Nepal in less than a week. We are beginning to realize that she will really be gone and very far away (and out of touch) for most of the summer. It will surely be an experience of a lifetime and we wish her a wonderful trip.
