This here is my very favorite pen.  My days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.  This is for any "Firefly" fans out there.

Baby Shower

Sara had a baby shower on Saturday.  Among the many nice things she got was this nice blanket a friend made for us.  She had given a similar blanket to us a few weeks ago for Rachel.

Photowalk

D3100, 1/160 sec, f/22, ISO 800

Chance and I went on a photowalk after church at the cemetery across the street from our church.  I was hoping to get a good shot like this.  Thanks for the help Chance.

Cars

I went to get some shots of the sunrise, but this came out better.

Nanotubes

This isn't a picture I took.  It is an SEM of some carbon nanotubes that I grew at work.  I thought this image looked pretty cool.  The nanotubes are going to be used as emitters for an electron "gun."  The substrate they were grown on was patterned to control where the nanotubes grew.  These guys look like they are about 125 microns tall, so a little longer than we want for this application, but it makes for a pretty cool picture.  Just for reference the average human hair is about 90 microns in diameter.

This is one of Aubrey's diapers.  It used to be way to big for her, but fits it pretty well now.  Unfortunately, she has to wear the larger size diapers since she tends to overflow this size.   That's a quarter.
