On October 15th, 2009 the Jaworski family welcomed Juliana Isabella Jaworski into the family. She weighed in at a healthy 7.0lbs. Welcome to the family Juliana!
I have started a side project of taking all of our family photos shot in the 1970′s and scanning them to digital media. This picture is from the time our family lived in Papua New Guinea for a few years.
No, it is not snowing yet! I had this sitting on my computer and finally pulled them off and uploaded to flickr.
Winter is right around the corner. This was taken on the Indiana Toll Road between Chicago and South Bend and was a small band of Lake Effect snow that was hitting Chesterton Indiana hard. Good thing for All Wheel Drive as I almost took the Mini on this trip!
Lukas’s idea of camping is staying the night in the backyard and watching DVD’s on the Laptop! Maybe next year we will venture further from home.
Lukas had his 3rd Birthday on December 24th. As you can tell, he is a big fan of Buzz Lightyear. I did a quick internet search and learned that he (the toy) actually went to space and spent some time onboard both the shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station.
Check out these postings that I came across:
Happy Birthday Lukas!
On October 12th, we went on a day trip Starved Rock, IL to do a little hiking and enjoy a warm fall day. Having been away from the west coast for a few years, we have not really done much in the likes of hiking and it was nice to come across this place. Check out our Flickr gallery from the trip.
Over the holiday break, I decided to go through some of my old photos and do some photo management. I came across this one from a camping trip Rada and I took in July of 2005. Convict Lake is one of the easiest accessible beauties of the Sierra Nevada’s. Its location is to the left on Highway 395 heading North towards Mammoth Lakes.
Wikipedia has the following to say about Convict Lake:
The lake was named after an incident in 1871, where a group of convicts escaped from prison in Carson City. A posse, led by Sheriff Robert Morrison, encountered the convicts near the head of what is now Convict Creek. Morrison was killed in the encounter, and Mount Morrison was named after him [1].
In 1951, a film titled The Secret of Convict Lake was released with the location as the film’s setting based on the events in (1871) starring Glenn Ford and Gene Tierney.According to the narrative included with the movie “How the West Was Won”, Convict Lake was in the opening scenes. It was also used in Star Trek Insurrection, and in an advertisement for Nature Valley granola bars in 2007.
