Got my Father's day card early. Mackenzie couldn't wait. 

My dad is the most wonderful dad in the world

He is handsom as KITTEN and smells like a ROSE.

He weighs 170 lbs and he's 100 inches tall.

His favorite food is SANDWICHES.

When my dad was little, he used to Paly Lages [play legos].

I think my dad looks funny when he TRNS ME UPSID DON [upside-down]

My favorite thing to do with my dad is GO IN THE POL [go in the pool]

I wouldn't trade my dad for FIYRO BELE TOD [fire belly toad]!

The Sailing Club Lot has a junior program, with about 6-8 Optimus sailboats. They offer a sailing clinic for kids, so Allison & Meghan went and got to sail on thier own.

A whole week of working in the stables, and riding at Camp Misty Meadows.

Ares 1-X is being stacked.

Successful MLAS test.

VASMIR tested at full power.

No launch slip for Atlantis from that pesky stuck knob.

Weather predicts for Saturday launch are only 40% go, but that makes me feel better than if it was 90%.

A few good pictures from this year's dance recital.

and while posting them, I came across a bunch from last year that I never posted..

Click the pics to go see the albums.

Still sorting through all the stuff that came home at the end of the year. Here's a nice mosaic self-portrait Allison did with construction paper & glue.

UPDATED: More pictures here.

Born Today, 8lb 4oz, 18.5"

Mom, Dad, Ailie & Ryan all doing fine

So funny I want to cry...

What's wrong with this picture?

I just got my awesome new 1.5 TB drive, put it in an external USB case, and connected it to the Mac I use as a server in the office upstairs. Downloaded Silverkeeper, a backup program for Mac, and tried to take my first backup snapshot. Got the following error message: 

<quote>Sorry: The Destination volume you have chosen is too small to hold the required backup data. You will nee to go back and make another choice</quote>

My Mac has an 80 GB drive. My new external drive is 1500GB. If my drive was full, I could make a copy once a week and not run out of space until Mackenzie starts Kindergarden next fall.

I'm sure it's an easy fix. I haven't even consulted google yet. But still...

So funny I can't tell if he's making it up or not
