Christmas photo recap
Dada is in the process of converting our house to an all-Mac palace. Over the years his Mac fetish has grown and grown until it has literally overrun his office and thus we have a new-to-The New House one-year-old G5 desktop (which, coincidentally, I bought while a grad student). I am typing this from a two-year-old iBook that has become mine; I bought it with my fellowship while I was a grad student and Dada used it while I used my travelling desktop 8-lb Dell to do all my thesis work. He has since outgrown this dinky little iBook and would be on the couch playing on his pimped-out MacBook Pro if he wasn't falling asleep. Thus, "my" iBook, which I've rarely, if ever, used, but secretly nursed a lust for, is suddenly mine to write blog with.
I would say I welcome this change except that I know very little about Macs, having been a life-long PC girl. I know more about Linux than I do about these sexy-looking machines that are now taking over my living room. The only real problem with this so far is the photo end. I am brand-new to iPhoto, Apple's picture-organizing software, and so far I hate it violently. I am such a Picasa junkie, and of course it's not available to Macs. I'm going to try to figure out something bearable to help me publish photos here on the blog, but it may take awhile before I find something I really enjoy. If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears.
In the meantime, I'm heading back to Flickr. My mom will enjoy this because you can click on the pictures below to access a larger version.
I mentioned before that there were four Christmases. My boys were spoiled worse than rotten.
Christmas 1: Christmas Eve was at Meemaw and Poppop's, attended also by Uncle Chrissy and Aunt Jean.
Christmas at the Rosses
Isaac before the Christmas carnage
Look! A Sit-n-Spin!
Practicing for a future Playgirl pictorial
Aunt Jean opens her cool-girl knitting book
Christmas 2: Christmas Day was at Mamaw and Dadaw's, attended also by Aunt Robin, Uncle Joe, cousins Nate, Emily, and Sarah, and many delightful family Christmas visitors. Must be nice to have so much family so close...
Mommy and Jake cheesing at Mamaw and Dadaw's
Sarah and Duffy
Buzz Lightyear flying through the sky
Isaac carrying Duffy
History repeats itself
Two more Christmases to follow...

LOVE your hair! It's almost exactly what I've been thinking about for my hair cut Friday. Too bad mine will never actually look that good.
Thank you...it's courtesy of my uber-talented mother-in-law. And whatever, supermodel mom-in-training Jen...
Y'all are adorable! And Good Good on the Mac stuff. I've become a serious Mac Addict after years of doing tech support on the PC. I mean hi. Tech support for the mac? EASY. :-)
