Folwell Visits Bear Creek
December 31st, 2009Christmas 2009
November 30th, 2009Dear Family,
After much discussion and consideration we have decided we do not want material gifts for Christmas this year. We want to make Christmas about something more. We want to make it about spending time with the people we love. So now would be a great time to make a plan to do something fun with all of The Alyn Family, or you could make a plan with one or both of our kids, and give Egg and I some time together.
Please watch this video.
You may send a gift to Oskar and Xavier if you feel the need to, but please nothing for Egg or I. If you feel you need to do something for us, please donate to a charity in our name.
God Bless!
Merry Christmas!
The Alyn Family
Geocaching
October 26th, 2009Yesterday, the Alyn Family all went Geocaching with the Cub Scout pack at Quarry Hill. I had never been before and I found it to be a lot of fun. Oskar wants to create his own cache – but first we’re going to see if we can find some of the coins and tags and move those around first. I found a nice application called BlackStar for my BlackBerry just now that turns it into a useful geocaching tool. I’m not sure how much exploration we’ll be doing, but you can keep up with our explorations on geocaching.com for now.

Technorati Claim
July 23rd, 2009
Technorati is a website about blogging and stuff. In order to “claim” that this website is indeed mine, I need to publish this code, “rjt946zwv8″ in the RSS feed. Nothing more to see here – I’m doing some research for AF-Design is all.
Rolling around…
July 17th, 2009Oskar and Xavier wanted me to record this silliness last night, enjoy!
Dig It
March 20th, 2009Oskar participated in the 2nd and 3rd grade musical today, Dig It. Gretchen, Xavier and I all headed out to see it. Enjoy.
The video may not be available until Saturday early morning, so if it says it doesn’t work, just check back later.
Pinewood Derby
February 1st, 2009Erik and Oskar both worked very hard on their cars over the last two weeks and today was the race. Erik’s car didn’t place too well due to the lack of graphite, but Oskar did well placing 2nd in a very competitive den.
You can see some more photos on Flickr and a video of Erik’s car going backwards.
Erik’s 10th Birthday
January 17th, 2009
Today was certainly a full day for everyone in the Alyn household. Erik turned 10 today and Xavier attended Erik’s party as well as Alex’s (from his pre-school). Everything came off as planned and a good time was had by all. To see the rest of the photos, be sure to check out the Flickr set or just see them all after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
Erik Breaks Out on YouTube
January 15th, 2009Okay, perhaps breaking out is an exaggeration, but he’s on there! Sit back and enjoy the first episode of The Peter Show the boy’s snow day project.
