    Five months later, and wow! We’ve hit a lot of milestones in the last couple months. First, Breitlahn was rolling over, and then she started scooting, and sitting up. Today, she officially started crawling and she keeps trying to pull herself up on things to stand. Amanda said she did it once, but I haven’t gotten to see that yet. She loves to stick out her tongue, and blow bubbles, and laugh. She’s gotten quite ticklish, although it seems the simplest things will make her giggle the most. She had her first Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day.

    She started solids, and loves vegetables. Fruit is gross apparently. Breitlahn still eats it, but nothing compares to those delicious green beans and peas.

    Those are just some of the highlights, you can visit the gallery to see all the new photos.

  • speed

    A couple weeks ago, my site was super slow, and wouldn’t load properly. I did some investigating, and found it was getting hammered by a Chinese search engine. I kept tabs on it throughout that day, and there were either different search engines indexing various portions of my site within 24 hours. Yikes. So I set about to enhance the performance a bit. Finally, I think I’ve pretty well nailed it. I’ve moved everything from Gallery to ZenPhoto (except photo descriptions), disabled some extra plugins, and implemented various other tweaks. Enjoy.

  • dwelling

    We now have real pictures of the house we bought in Glendive. Or, as Amanda likes to call it, our ‘cottage’.

  • outlaws captured

    I couldn’t resist using the tired-out reference about in-laws being outlaws. And captured on camera (not in jail). For shame…

    Anyway, back in September, Amanda’s parents came to visit. We took them out to Makoshika (the largest state park in Montana), and got some great pictures. We finally bought a new card reader so that I could upload them. I also found some great pictures of Scooter that hadn’t been posted, so there’s some new stuff in the ‘Scooter’ gallery as well.

    There are also a couple of the new house in Glendive. There will surely be more in the not too distant future, but that’s all we’ve got for now.

    Lastly, if anyone ever needs to edit EXIF information on a photo (it’s the extra information your camera stores about when the picture was taken, what camera was used, exposure, etc.) and you’re using Linux, try out mapivi. It’s not the fanciest program in the world, but it works, and has an option to make ‘relative’ adjustments to the date a picture was taken. This can be quite useful if you have 40 pictures that were taken after your camera was without power and you forgot to reset the date.
