New mode of transportation...

Extreme Close-up!

Michigan State project pictures

My favorite bathrooms... not quite finished yet (partitions are missing for one thing) but with them missing, you can see all the tile work and my tile patterns!

In the Dining Hall looking back towards the servery area. Curved glass wall looks out from an Instructional/Gallery space on the 2nd floor.

Tile work at one of the main venues - "Latitudes". Used to be called "World Cuisine", meaning you can get international type food here. :o)

Dessert venue at the Dining Hall - aptly named "Bliss". (By the signage folks, not me.)

"Aerial" view of the main dining space from one of the offices that overlooks it.

Ava's 1st time on a swing

She also had her 1st taste of ice cream this week... :o)

Dressin' up!

Ava went for her 1st portraits this week and her cousin Megan decided to get in on the fun by dressing up too! Looking pretty girls...

Ava's 1st camping trip!

The weekend after Ava's baptism, we headed off to Lake Durant to go camping with some friends and their 3 children. Ava was a great little camper - even with the cold nights!

Then Ava was baptised...

on Father's Day. (The camera made it's fateful plunge 2 days before, we were lucky to get this picture from a family member.)

My Chicago hotel room

Looks funny, but I stitched together some shots of my room so that you can see how big and cool it was. This is another reason for the lack of Ava posts, I was gone for 3 days to Chicago for a work type conference called NeoCon.

Looking cool

in the old turtle floatie... Ava loves the pool now. :o)

She's baaaack!!!!

Ava has returned to cyberspace after much anticipation! There was a slight mishap with the camera and the pool. Let's just say my Canon does not float, but it recovered pretty well after a couple days of drying out!
