Nathan and Lionel had a blast eating their cake.  Nathan seemed to be disappointed with the baked goods while Lionel wanted to dive right in and eat it all up.

Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun.  Below are some more pictures.  You can click here to see the entire set.

Do any of you use a pedometer?  Do you use something to track your daily results?

Laura’s pick of the week was:

The most recent set of Lionel can be found here.

• IFSM430 to IT462 (Information Systems Security)
• CMIS140 & CMIS240 to IT207 & IT208 (C++ Programming Classes)

GMU requires me to obtain the syllabus for courses from the year they were taken, and unfortunately that was not one of the things I knew to keep, so I didn’t.  It has proven difficult to obtain any documents from the University of Maryland European Division, and I fear I might be unable to.  The registrar’s office was extremely unhelpful.  They did not offer to look up my information or get in contact with the professor.  Instead, they told me that they did not keep that information on file and did not help me.

I have 2 requests for information out there on the ether.  One with a faculty member at UMUC in the United States and the other, a request to Professor Frank House, the professor for my classes at UMUC.

Proving difficult, I have continued to attempt to get the required information.  I am surprised to find that UMUC ED does not keep the course syllabi.  I can only hope that Professor House or the UMUC Faculty can assist me in finding a syllabus for each of the courses listed above.

It has been a blast escaping to Great Wolf lodge in Williamsburg, VA. However, I am looking forward to tomorrow, our last day in the pool, and our return home. It has been very fun and I think Lionel really enjoys the water. I included a video below of a waterslide, and I am going to try my best to get some good video of him in the water tomorrow. He splashes and kicks almost the entire time he is in the water.

Check out the video below of a water slide at Great Wolf:

The biggest change however, is the removal of Gallery2 and shift to Flickr.  I evaluated both Flickr and Smugmug and decided Flickr was a better choice.  Flickr’s unlimited account cost less and has more integration options.  I have tried to make it easy for you to find the pictures I have been uploading.  Yes, I am going to go back through time and upload ALL of my old photos.  Hopefully everyone can view the site.

I’m sorry if you work for the government and can’t view the site.  I am investigating options that will allow you to be able to view my pictures by utilizing the bandwidth available on this site.

While the Gallery2 plugin has been removed, the old gallery is still accessible for the time being.  It can be accessed at http://www.thecolters.com/gallery2

Thanks!

Please don’t be afraid to post a message or drop me a line if I am not updating everything as fast as you would like me to.

I would like to thank Penny and Bob for the wonderful long weekend at the beach.  It was a welcome getaway from work of all sorts (work work and house work).  I enjoyed relaxing and I definitely needed it.  Thank you.
