Abby, aka Daphne, Turns Five

By michael

I’m still catching up with photo posts. The big birthday was in March. At least I got these photos up before she turned six.

Abby’s Big Five was celebrated with a “pool” party at our house. Everybody had a good time in the sun. The pinata was so loaded that Abby’s first contact brought it crashing down, to the absolute delight of the assembled small and big kids.

You can see the photos under the Family Album in the Gallery “The Big Five for Abby.”

Happy Birthday, Rosy

By michael

I am so very far behind in posts and new galleries. This year has been a very busy one with work. Leisure time has been very scarce. But I had to take time to post these new photos for my lovely wife’s birthday.

On September 17 we had a party at the house with a few dozen of Rosy’s closest friends and family. Everyone had a great time, as you can see from the photos. Daughter Karla’s birthday is on the 19th, so she was subject to the birthday shenanigans, too.

I hope you enjoy these photos of the festivities in the Gallery  “Rosy Turns 47 Years Young.” Feel free to comment if you like.

Happy New Year 2010

By michael

Season’s greetings, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everybody.

We had a relatively quiet end-of-year celebration this year. Mostly spent with family and a few close friends. I think the kids had a good time again this year, and after all, Christmas is really for them anyway, right?

You can see some of our good times in the Christmas/New Year 2009 gallery over there on the right.

From all of us to all of you, we wish you a very happy and prosperous 2010.

New Dog in the House

By michael

We brought Missy, Casper’s daughter, home in October. She will be three months old on November 14. Casper is adjusting to the new puppy pretty well, but I think he misses quite a bit of his nap time. That is OK. He needs the exercise anyway. Daddy Casper, by the way, will be three years old in December.

Take a look at some of the first shots of the two of them in the Casper and Missy gallery.

A visit to Arenal Volcano

By michael

I’ve been pretty busy, but I finally got a chance to take a couple of days in August to visit one of my favorite parts of Costa Rica–Arenal Volcano. The weather wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad either. We did see the volcano a couple of afternoons between the rains.

The volcano was quiet, but it was steaming and we saw gas clouds flowing down the side one day.

I’ve posted a few of the better daytime photos for you to take a look at. Find the link over on the right side of this page.

If you are interested in Costa Rican volcanoes, I have more images posted at Cocori.com. There are more photos of Arenal Volcano as well as shots of Poas, Turrialba, and Irazu volcanoes.
