trying the mosaic thing

My creation,

i wanted to figure out how to make a mosaic using flickr pictures. i see it on so many blogs these days and had to try it for myself.... so really this is just a test. found some colorful pictures that i liked. i should try it a couple more times so i don't have to reteach myself each time!

32 degrees and below

this is the first winter i can honestly say that we wished for cold weather. 2008 was the start of something that will become annual from now on. a great time was had by all... neighbors, friends and of course all of us. we even had the local newspaper here to write an article and shoot a video of noah skating. here is the mini book to document the first kelly rink... (the article link doesn't work... but if you take out the http:// in the address bar it will).
