Pumpkin Voting
We had 24 pumpkins this year, and 50 attendees. See the pictures of carving day. This year we are doing a 2-step voting process. Vote for your favorite pumpkin first, you will then be asked to vote for the worst pumpkin. Happy Halloween!
God save the Pumpkin-Heads
Here are the pictures of the 4th annual Pumpkin-Fest (Pumpkin-Carve Off, Pumpkin-Masters, etc.) held at Justin and Jody Crouse’s house in Newburgh, ME. Check out these pictures of everyone carving and group pictures of the pumpkins all lit up. Visit the Pumpkin-Masters page to view the contest results and individual pumpkin pictures.

Baby # 2 on the way
As usual it’s been a long time since I’ve updated the website. This time it’s been over a year but there’s some big changes this time. First off, I’ve changed my hoster, to me. I’ve got a server here at home now running the site. This gives me much more flexibility and control over the site and will be much easier to add new pictures in a more timely manner. However I have a cable connection here and the upload speeds are capped so the speed may be lacking. In the long term I will have to look into alternatives for more bandwidth.
There are other new things too. Kim is pregnant again. Because of Kaley’s birth this will have to be a c-section again so we already have a date - if all goes well our new baby will be born Jan 24th. We don’t know the sex yet, it will be a surprise. We also moved recently over to Dover, NH. You can see pics of our new house here. We are only 15 minutes from Portsmouth and right on the NH-ME border. So far it’s a great place to live. I’m planning on going to UNH next year for my PhD in Natural Resources and Earth Systems Science. Of course I will be focusing on the remote sensing aspect, using satellite imagery for environemental monitoring.
There are many many new images as well. I’ve added nearly 2500 images in almost 50 galleries to give almost 8000 images now. Everything past September, 2003 is new. See 2003 and 2004. There are also lots of new pictures of Kaley in her gallery Other new galleries include my RIT M.S. Graduation, and Jeff’s High School Graduation. Some older galleries have also been updated with new pictures: 1997 - The Appalachian Trail, 2003-04–Aidan, Spring of 2003, and Summer of 2003
