Family Update

Our kids have had quite a week so for those with an interest in our family here is the news.

Our first grandson (two previous granddaughters) arrived early Wednesday morning. Preston Reid Tanner. Preston, mom, dad, and big sister Addison are all doing fine.

Todd called us last evening. He was in New York with colleagues for the daytime Emmy awards and the science education show he works on, Dragonfly TV, received an Emmy.

I checked the DragonflyTV site this morning – no mention of the award. Perhaps they thought the middle school audience would not be impressed.

Sent to us via Todd’s camera phone.

Finally, daughter Kim called this morning from Ketchikan. She and boyfried Jim are spending the summer working on a whale watching boat. Her MacBook boots to a white screen and there are no Apple Stores with a genious bar in Ketchikan. She called mom – close to the same thing. No boot CD. No dongle to plug in a monitor (may be a bad screen). No firewire to firewire cable to target drive computer to see if harddrive is available. No backups of a great image collection. What did we teach these kids? I am going to miss the blog posts and living vicariously through the images.  We are going to have to figure something out – perhaps a loaner is in order.

Way to go kids! Can’t wait to see what happens next week.
