Brenden has been very into trains of late, almost exclusively playing on his Thomas play table with all his Thomas trains. As a reward for him being a much better sleeper this week ( which is another post in itself ), I was going to find a model railroad place to take him to. As […]

In the interest of giving some equal time to the big brother, I present some pictures of Brenden…and sneak in a couple of Emily. Brenden has been enjoying having some of the baby stuff back out. He really likes Emily’s car seat as seen here: He’s also been having all of us play trains with […]

On Monday January 5, we welcomed Emily Grace Burleson to our family. She was born via a planned c-section at 3:58 PM and weighed in at 9 lbs 12.3 oz and was 19 in long. Maggie and Emily are doing very well. As for me, I’m excited as I was when Brenden was born. The […]
Ever since I switched back to the Mac, I’ve been trying to find the “right” financial management software to replace Microsoft Money 2000. I’ve tried Quicken For Mac, iBank, Cha-Ching, Moneydance and Horizon. They all fell short in some aspect of what I needed. Either they were missing scheduled payments, balance forecasting, or just had […]
The past two days have been long, but amazing as we saw a lot of family and friends. Brenden had a blast as he got to play with his cousins from California while also playing with a ton of other kids. I should tell the tale in pictures. We start visiting my best friend Andy’s […]

About 2 months or so ago, I was able to pickup what I consider to be my first “real” camera: a used Canon Rebel XTi with a 1.4 50mm fixed lens. So far, I’ve been blown away by how awesome it is. One of the things that had been driving us crazy was how slow […]
Every year for the holidays I make my favorite appetizer: a ham and onion cheese ball. I learned the recipe from my dad and I’m going to share it with you. You will need: 3-4 packages of Philadelphia Cream Cheese ( I do not recommend the fat free version for this ) 8-16 oz deli […]
Craptactular (that’s a technical term) internal design! Case in point: Replacing the car battery on our 2006 Saturn VUE. The battery in our VUE has recently been put under some stress ( think 2 year old and leaving headlights on ). It finally gave up yesterday, so I went to Sears and bought the replacement. […]
I wanted to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow American readers. To the rest of the world, have a nice day.
Something funny I noticed the other day about Netflix’s pricing when I was considering us upgrading to the 4 disk a month plan: After you reach the 3 disks at a time plan, the incremental cost per disk stays the same. I would think it would continue to go down. Here’s the breakdown: Disks Cost […]
This is not exactly the post for those of you afraid of flying. I’ve had this links and videos sitting in a text file on my computer since February when I found them. I was supposed to blog about them a long time ago, but I never could seem to find the time. Today, I […]
