Return from the Honeymoon ...

Photo-A-Day #229 11/23/05

We’re back home. And were greeted by Snow this morning. Yikes. Granted when I returned last night I was wearing shorts. Allison at least had the sense to were pants before we left Aruba. Neil was great and he picked us up at the airport and we had dinner with Neil and Andrea at Box Seats. Thanks for everything Neil.

Man, there is so much to talk about. To tell you about the island and how much fun we had there. To post pictures of the wedding, the honeymoon and all things that have gone on in the past 9 days. I need to post up my 9 photos a day that I took during the honeymoon. I am so appreciative to all the help that nine very special people did while Allison and I were gone. The Guest Photo-A-Dayer’s. Did you enjoy their stuff? We certainly did! Thanks also very much to Mo for posting everything to the blog too.

Allison and I were greeted with this sign that Jenn made for us to welcome us home. Jenn took care of Oliver and Duncan for the week and was a great cat sitter. The boys are none the worse for wear.

I’ll be posting photos as soon as we get them together. Check out the new sidebar for Photo-A-Day. Buzznet certainly stepped up to make a great tag.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
