I can’t believe how fast he’s growing up. Here he is at the end of year ceremony with his “dog”.

A great treat after the Bellevue Botanical Gardens. Geoff and Greg both tried this for the first time this weekend - both LOVED the experience.

Visited Bellevue Botanical Gardens for the first time today. My mother-in-law loved the alpine garden. I just wanted to sit and wait for bees. I had to settle for this photo because the boys really were looking forward to the playground.

Downtown Bellevue with an iPhone. Gotta love modern technology - I’m still surprised by how decent the iPhone’s camera is when you have a decent amount of light. But, I’d still pay more for it if it worked better in lower light and I had manual control [...]

Bellevue 2009 Track Meet, originally uploaded by Dave Quick.

This pole caulter had the best expressions for the day at the Bellevue track meet I went to the other weekend.

 
The boys were not all that interested in posing last night while I was experimenting with more off camera flash - but I’m getting fast enough that it doesn’t take that long for me to setup thankfully.

Couple photos from the Heritage Festival. TLS is Greg’s old school - he still enjoys going to the events to see old friends from there. The heritage festival is kind of like a talent show/pot luck combined where people share food and traditions of their family/culture.

I have returned to Microsoft as a Sr. Program Manager in Windows Live Storage.  I’m happy to be back (since 3/3/2008) and really enjoying the folks in this new [to me] group.
