Father's Day Camping 2011

Just posted my pictures from our camping trip at El Capitan State Beach over Father's Day weekend. Only a month a half later, but then we've had multiple infections going around the house and lots else going on that prevented me from getting to the pictures in a more timely fashion. Plus I went a bit trigger happy with the new camera and ended up with 200 pictures. Anyway, the pictures are over at Flickr as usual. I've also made some additions to the Random Stuff gallery (that one is organized so that new stuff is at the top).

Note that the pictures are now public. I figured out how to hide pictures from the Flickr front-page and Google searches so that you have to have the actual link to get to the pictures (turns out I had this turned on the whole time) so now I'm comfortable with relaxing the security stuff and it should be easier to share the pictures. I had actually been looking at another picture hosting site that supported this option in a more explicit fashion but now that I figured out that Flickr offers the same thing I'll be sticking with Flickr. When I get a chance I'll be going back and making the rest of the galleries public as well.

Quinn 2.0

I posted some pictures from Quinn's birthday celebrations. These include pictures of Quinn with her birthday kitchen but don't include pictures from the celebration when we were camping over the weekend (those are on the way).

Mother's Day Camping

It's kind of late (especially since we just got back from our Father's Day camping trip) but I finally got the photos from our Mother's Day camping trip posted, their over at Flickr as usual. Note that you need to have a flickr account, be one of my contacts and be logged in in order to see most of the photos (Paul and Barbara: I have you guys listed as a contact under the Oglesby's Photos Flickr account).

The Graduate

Pictures from Xander's kindergarten graduation are now posted over at the usual place. They had the ceremony at the start of the school day on Friday. Each class sang a song, Xander's class sang "What a Wonderful World". One of the other parents got a video of the singing but I haven't been able to get a hold of it yet. After the ceremony we spent some time collecting all the schoolwork that Xander still had in the classroom including the "pancake nest" (they made ceramic bird nests but Xander wasn't happy with how his was turning out so he smashed it and dubbed the result "pancake nest").

Student of the Month

So a few days ago Xander was awarded student of the month for "doing a great job in math" (I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree). I think every kid in the class got recognized for something at some point in the year and this time it was Xander's turn (a couple of other kids got awards also). I just posted the pictures over at Flickr.

Also last week they had a sidewalk chalk festival at school. Here's Xander's rendition of a fish for the festival:

Seattle

I finally got around to posting my pictures from our Seattle trip in April. They're in the usual place.

Spring Break

I finally got around to posting pictures from the kid's spring break. You can check them out here. I also added some pictures to the random stuff gallery.
