A Little Catch-up

Ok, so the last couple of months have been crazy busy and I haven’t had much of a chance to sleep, much less write up a new blog post.  I’ll see if I can somehow get things kick started again and write more often.

One thing you may have noticed is that I’m playing around with colors/themes again.  In the last week or so I moved the hosting of the shurtzfamily.net domain over to Blogger, so it allows me a lot more flexibility in everything.  I haven’t had a chance to look into the fancy ways of customizing this page yet, but I’m sure I’ll get to it at some point.  According to Khalina, the current look is “ugly”, so it will most likely change soon.

Ok, I also wanted to point out a couple of the photo galleries that I’ve pushed up in the last month or so.  If you’ve been watching the “Recently Added” section in the photos.shurtzfamily.net site, you may have already seen them, but just in case here’s a summary:

Ammon had a birthday in May:

Later that month we hiked up to Wallace Falls with Ny & Val:

For pack meeting that month we went ice-blocking:

The first Saturday in June is always the Highland Games.  It was
as spectacular as always:

To get ready for our High Adventure bike trip, we did a shorter ride over to Cascade Park:

Khalina’s birthday was in September when she turned 12!

In October we went over to Moses Lake to visit with Dad Peterson:

Later that month we went over to Carlton Farm to pick a pumpkin and walk around:

And Christmas was peaceful:

Well, that’s it for now.  I haven’t finished going through last year’s pictures yet (there may even be some from 2007 that need to be pushed up), but I’ll see what I can do to speed things up a bit.

More later…

A ha! You are still alive and well. So glad to hear. :) Just kidding. We sure miss you all. Love the background by the way...be sure to tell Khalina. See why I think it would be fun to design them?

I remember the birthday parties. So nice to be able to see everyone. Even though we're only 20 minutes away, sometimes I feel like we're hundreds of miles away.
Chad, these are fantastic photos. I hope to be able to take great portraits like you someday. What camera lens do you use?
