Wow, six months have passed since Owen was born. To commemorate the day, Amy and I took Owen out the arboretum for some pictures.

Owen - 6 months old

A few people have asked about the picture wall I made for Amy’s Christmas present. Here it is:

The most time-consuming part of the project was creating the design for the arrangment of the pictures. The hardest part was actually putting the pictures on the wall. It wouldn’t have been so hard if the hooks on the backs of all the frames had been the same place, but they seemed to be randomly placed on there. My method for getting the frames in the correct place was actually Amy’s idea. I’d fold the hook down and tape a push pin with the point sticking out right where the nail would touch the hook. Then I could just push the frame where I wanted it and the pin stuck in the wall. Simple but very effective.
