Landscaping Our House – Before and After
We are on summer break and not lacking for things to do, but decided that it was time to put some effort into redoing our front yard. BEFORE: ———————————————– AFTER: We have since learned a few things regarding landscaping rocks: Rocks are low-maintenance when done right Rocks are expensive Babies inexplicably like throwing rocks at nearby cars Of course, the muppets we got to do the work decided to use plastic netting instead of plastic sheets (stating that only a few weeds could possibly grow though thick cover and could be controlled in other ways), so a couple weeks later, there are already thick beds of weeds growing out of…

potty time
We didn’t force toilet training on Max, and one day he just decided that he was tired of using diapers. From then on, we only put him in one at night and on long trips. Mina, the Ultimate Emulator, also sits on the training potty, usually just for fun and not actually depositing anything. Mina is developing so fast, it’s scary.

Off to Hua Hin
Tomorrow I’m off on a faculty trip to Suan Dusit University in Bangkok, then to Hua Hin the next day. I’ll be back on the 6th. Haven’t been to Hua Hin since our honeymoon, nor to the beach for far too long..

YouTube iframe embedding
It seems that the new way of embedding YouTube videos is really slow to render when you have multiple videos on a single page. Offhand, I can’t remember tweaking anything else that would cause this blog to be loading in segments like this. The thing is, I don’t really have time to test it now, so I guess I’ll just refrain from posting so many vids for a while and let the ones below fall off the front page.

A-OK
Everything here is alright; we’re just busy. Mina is almost over the chickenpox, which means a beach trip is coming up in April.
