Technical Difficulties
Our PC has not been wanting to talk to our scanner lately, so I haven't been able to scan artwork for blog updates. And with a lack of any other blog-worthy events, or even archival pictures, it's been a quiet week here at the AFB.
g
Rest assured that we will have exciting updates in the next few days and into next week, as it is the final week of school, and Deacon is graduating from Kindergarten!

Thanks for your patience, everyone! :)

Hooray Indiana Jones!
Derek and I saw the movie today down at the ArcLight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, but shockingly didn't take any pictures at the theater. And I figured, why show a dumb old picture of us anyway when I can just put up a picture of this guy?
