Max was trying to climb into his stroller yesterday in the garage, when it tipped over on him and he fell flat on his face. He had a bloody nose, a fat lip, and also knocked his tooth around. One of his top front teeth moved and the gum all around is all black and blue. The poor little guy is living on a diet of yogurt and ice cream because it hurts him to eat. He can't even use a sippy cup, so we have started to train him in being careful with a regular cup.
Sarah called a dentist and they said just to watch it and bring him on Monday or sometime next week to take a look. Its not loose or anything, but it definately moved a bit.
This is Max's third accident at this new house, not very good luck for him.
Updated Links in Navigation Bar
I updated the links on the navigation bar to the left. I added a direct link to the Ella and Max galleries since those are the most popular. Those will take you straight there, so you don't have to find them in the albums page.
They will still show up in the albums section, but if you want to get there faster you can.
There are also videos on the same site. There is only one right now as a test, but will eventually get more up there.
I also put a couple of photos of the new house up there. You can check them out here (or go to the albums page and click on the album). We'll get some more up soon, we have some newer ones on the cameras that we need to download.

Photos are coming now
I have everything setup now, so photos should be coming in regurlarly to fill it out. There are two new links over on the left, one to view the 10 newest images, and one that shows every album that is online. This is always dynamically updated, and you can subscribe to rss feeds of either one if you are into that.
With the new service hosting the albums it is important to note that if you download any of our photos to keep you should no longer right click on the image and select save. If you are on the Picasa website and click on a photo to view it larger, make sure that you look to the right for the download photo link. This will download the full image, if you right click on the image there you will get a scaled down version that does not look as good.

Photos coming soon
I am putting the finishing touches on getting photos back up and easy. You can go to the Ella photo page over on the left to see work in progress. The page is a bit messy, but at the top there is the 5 most recently added photos, then beneath that it displays each one of the albums that are hosted on the web. I will get that cleaned up, organized, and looking nice next.
We will be using Picasa to host the photos which is a free Google service. I have a bit of cleanup and then a lot of photos to upload.
The site is now being fed from blogger.com (for this section of the page), FeedBurner to show the photo albums that are being hosted on Picasa (feedburner is an rss promoter, so if you are rss savvy, you can subscribe on your own I think and be automatically updated whenever new content is added), and Google Calendar for the calendar. It is almost entirely automated, I just update content and the website gets updated. Pretty cool.
If you have a minute, click on the ads over on the right, I actually earn money for the number of clicks on that.

Busy Holiday Weekend
It was a busy holiday weekend for us. On Friday night, we went to the Pirate and Princess party at Disney World. It is a special event that they do every year where all of the kids dress up like a pirate or princess and hunt for treasure and go on the rides.
On Sunday, we went to a BBQ at one of my bosses house. And on Monday, we went to a BBQ in Lakeland for a little reunion of sorts of a lot of missionaries that worked with Sarah's parents in Brazil. There was a pool, so the kids were able to go swimming.
With fantasy football wrapping up, and me still working on getting all of our photos organized and on the new site, it will be a few more days before we get the photos organized. We have about 2.5gb of new photos to still organize then we need to catalog and post them.
