Double Congrats to the wife.

I almost forgot to post. The wife found a job.. Whoo Hooo. She will be working at Clark Memorial in IN. Should be an exciting, scary time. But fun.

New Pictures

Well as promised from the other day I have finally gotten around to posting some pics from the new camera. This is a picture of the girls at the park the other day going down the slide together. They had so much fun.

I ABHOR 64

I absolutely hate the fact that that they are wasting so much time and money "Improving" interstate 64 in KY. For a whole month they have shut down 19 blocks of I-64 between 22nd st and 3rd st downtown. What does this mean?? Well if you have to commute to the East side of Louisville from Indiana then it means you might as well add an additional 30-60 minutes onto your commute. It sucks.

New Camera

Well, after much deliberation we finally have a new camera. For some reason the camera we had developed a minor flaw. The shutter button just quit working right. Almost as if a spring inside broke. you can still push it in and it auto focuses but to actually get it to take a shot you have to press really hard.

We have been longing forever to get a nice digital SLR but they are still a little cost prohibitive, so we decided to go with something small and compact. We ended up getting the fuji finepix Z5FD. The camera is very nice in size (About the size of a pack of cigarettes) and has tons of features, however the picture quality was just not that good. I mean this was a 6 mega pixel camera and the pictures from our old 3 mega pixel were better.
We ended up taking it back and getting the Fuji S700. Much better camera IMHO but it is a little bit bigger. You can see details on it here.

For a little over $200 it is the best value on the block..

Oh well that is about all for now. I will take some pictures here in the next day or so so you can see the quality.

Congrats to my wife

Just wanted to let everyone know how proud I am of my wife. She has graduated from nursing school, taken her boards and passed. She is now officially Jennifer Evans, RN. Of course, now she has to find a job . :-) That should be the easy part tho.

So much DRAMA

This week has been a week of drama, and believe it or not, this has been a good thing. For starters I took the wife to see the Lion King on Thursday. On Friday we got to go in the morning to see our daughter Kaitlyn perform in her drama camp performance. That night my wife and I took Kaitlyn to see the NAHS production of High School Musical. After seeing the movie umpteen million times I knew the story well. It was very surprising to note that they have added a few new musical numbers and added a couple new characters. Overall I was impressed with the production until I realized that I was watching High School kids, then I was blown away. I remember back to my days in High School and I just don't remember the production values being so good. Even with limited space the sets were awesome.

Drama Camp

All last week my daughter had the opportunity to take part in the NAHS drama camp themed around this years production of High School Musical. They got to learn impromptu skits based on HSM as well as a dance and the song "We're all in this together" for the finale. If you have kids and get a chance to enroll them in camp I highly recommend it. The drama director said it best. "Taking a kid to a camp like this is like taking a non-swimmer to a pool or lake. " It allows them to see something they have never seen before.

OH, BTW if you look at the front row you will see three girls. My daughter is the one on the right.
