Photo Slideshows

We have discontinued posting slideshows on the website.  You can now get access to our Shutterfly page and see our monthly photo albums

Welcome to the Photo Slide Show Page.  We use flash software (SwishPix for those you who are interested) for this gallery, so for anyone looking at this on a dial-up you might find that it will take a while to load, especially the larger galleries and those with music. Please let us know of any problems! 

valentine_album_2006.jpgA Valentine’s Photo Gallery. OK, so we are a little late with the Valentine’s gallery…and, it’s not just Valentine’s Day stuff, but oh well. The picture count for Natalie is, as expected, far less than it was for Noah but we still have a bunch of really cute pictures of her.  We get asked frequently how Noah likes having a sister…well, he really likes to have his picture taken with her (as you can see from this gallery).  Click here to see the pictures.

noah_bday_2006.jpgNoah Turns Three!  Yes, that’s right…Noah is THREE! It is amazing how fast time flies. Noah is growing up right in front of our eyes. We have a lifetime of busy holiday sesons to look forward to now with Wendy’s birthday in early November, Natalie’s right before Christmas and Noah’s right after the New Year! We had the big blow-out party last year, so this year we went celebrated with a jumper in the front yard and a few of his friends. We’re trying to have big parties every other year and alternate with Natalie. Anyway, enjoy the 2006 birthday photo album.  Click here to see the pictures.

welcome_baby_natalie.jpgFirst Photo Gallery of Baby Natalie.  We are very excited about the arrival of the newest member of our family–Natalie Marie, born December 19, 2005.  It tooks us a little while to post a photo gallery of Natalie, but we were snapping lots of pictures.  So, we hope it was worth the wait.  This gallery contains some of the very first pictures ever taken of Natalie and she was very cute from the moment she took her first breath!  Click here to see the pictures.

hawaii_2005.jpgHawaii Pictures.  Unlike our last trip to Hawaii when we took exactly one picture, this time we had our little rock star with us so we took a ton of pictures. Starting with the airplane ride out and ending with the airplane ride back (and lots of naps in between), we took lots of pictures.  Make sure to turn on your sound because there’s music which we now regret because Noah wants to listen to the ‘Hawaii Song’ all the time.  Click here to see the pictures.

train_show.jpgTrain Show Stops at Long Beach.  Check out some of the more interesting scenery, and people, that we encountered at the Train Show at the Long Beach Convention Center.  As always, our outings are fun for Noah and filled with excellent people-watching experiences for his parents.  It is amazing how much there is to do just going to little events in and around Long Beach without hauling out to Disneyland everytime we need to entertain Noah.  Click here to see the pictures.

disneyland.jpgA Day at Disneyland(TM).  Living in Southern California gives us a unique chance to be frequent repeat customers for one of the largest commercial enterprises on the planet.  Things have changed at Disneyland(TM) since the time when we used to go there as little kids.  The giant parking lot has been replaced with a parking structure and an add-on theme park, Disney’s California Adventure(TM).  The cheesy 60s vibe has been almost completely replaced with movie tie-ins.  But, it’s still a great plan to hang out with the kids.  See what a day at the Magic Kingdom(TM), a 2-year old and a digital camera can produce! Click here to experience the magic for yourself!

noah_birthday_album.jpgNoah’s 2nd Birthday.  So, you have to give us some credit–here it is the 16th of January and we already have a birthday photo gallery on the site! We did need some time for the Advil sandwiches that we had to scarf down after two hours in enclosed quarters with a gaggle of 2-year-olds, so give us a little bit of a break, will ‘ya?  We have been bad recently about updating the site, but we are getting better. We hope you enjoy these pictures from Noah’s birthday celebration. Click here to view the Birthday gallery!

2004_xmas.jpgChristmas 2004 Photo Gallery is Here!  This was one of the first flash photo galleries that we created back in 2004.  We’ve gotten better at it since then, but it is alwas fun to look back a few years and marvel at how much (and how little) changes from year-to-year.  This gallery will fall off the page at Christmas 2006 so don’t say that we didn’t warn you!  We, of course, will keep archive copies but, for now, we are trying to enforce some reasonable limit on our storage space. Click here to view the gallery!
