Empire Mine State Park

For Mother's Day (a day early) we took the family plus both Grandmothers to Empire Mine State Park in Grass Valley. We had a wonderful time.

Crafting Birthday Cards

Today is my mom's birthday. It's been raining for several days, and since we can't play outside with the girls, we decided to do something fun indoors. We made Birthday Cards. Sarah and I went to Michael's yesterday and picked up some supplies. Then we put a sheet down in the front room and proceeded to have a great time.

Winter Wonderland

We woke up this morning to white snow covering everything. I think I got up around 6:45 and snow there was about 1/2 inch on the ground. It was still snowing, and I think before it stopped we got 3/4-1" on the ground. The girls decided to put on their warm clothes and play for a bit.

Fun around the house

Nothing major, just some fun pics of Ella and Emily around the house. I *think* Lucky is warming up to Ella. :)

5 5

Pros: Easy To Connect, Crisp Sound, Powerful, Attractive Design, Great Sound Quality

Best Uses: Home Theater

Describe Yourself: Tech Savvy

I don't have a lot of experience with home theater, but I love this setup. The satellite speakers came with the wallmount brackets. I was able to easily install them. They are just below our head, and they are so small that they practically dissapear in the room. In fact, one of them is right next to our couch in one corner of the room. My wife puts a throw pillow on the couch's arm rest and it hides the speaker. I mostly crank it up for movies and Xbox games. My setup is this:
>15' X 14' room
>52" HD DLP TV on stand
>Sony DG720 Receiver
>Rocketfish wireless surround speaker adapter
>This speaker package

The front speakers are on the TV stand to either side of the TV. The center channel is below the TV. The rear speakers are at the corners of the room, probably 12-13' from the front speakers. Love it!

Gymnastics

The girls started a toddler gymnastics class two weeks ago. They already had three classes and it's going well. I will post some pictures and short videos soon.

Big Breakthrough

Well, this is pretty cool. Yesterday, Emily had her first full day without a diaper! Technically, we put one on her when we went to the park to meet a friend for a couple hours, but otherwise, she didn't need it. And what's even more amazing - she slept through the night last night without a diaper. No accidents!! And furthermore, we're almost done with the day today, and still no diaper!
