I am thankful for a great number of things...

I am thankful that "our" kids get along so well.

I am thankful that Emma takes direction when I am trying to test out new equipment. Pam got me the Gary Fong LightSphere Pro Package for Christmas. While it isn't a shotgun, it's still really great.

Stephen loves to have his picture taken, especially when there are Legos to build. Note: Legos in the background.

Ahhhh... that's better. Uncle Josh threw down and at great sacrifice to the body, helped his nephew build an awesome Lego six legged battle droid troop transport.

I am glad the kids like Pamela, and that Pam has a new love of building Legos.

This is the outside of Emma's Green Grocer set. More info on the Lego site. 

My Dad

He is pretty cool. His name is Hugh Coonfield, I really want to transition my parents to gmail accounts. They often travel and the portability and ease of use are far better, than their old Comcast POP3 account. Luckily, my folks are more tech savvy then most AARP members. 

I consider my father responsible for my computer prowess, we made the trek to Beaverton, Oregon when I was eight years old to pick up our first computer. It was an AST 10 MHz, 286, with 4 megabytes of RAM, and a EGA video card (that means that it has a staggering 256 colors) and a ten megabyte hard drive. TEN MEGABYTES! How could we EVER fill that up? I will never forget the wonder in watching him work, teaching me DOS commands. that was 1983.

Thanks Dad.
Smart of you creating tech support for life. Now go hook up your gmail account before Mom beats you to it.

Emma on Thanksgiving.

Flash wasn't charged, so the gain is a little high, but I like the shot.
