The Copperleaf Plus Theme has been updated to support tags in Wordpress 2.3.

The Copperleaf Photolog Plugin has been updated to support Wordpress 2.3 and I also added a button so you can bulk edit photos within a post.

Things might get a little messy for a couple of days. I’ve just upgraded to the latest version of Wordpress and a few of the utilities that are used have been broken or deprecated. I’m in the process of fixing everything and should be done in a day or so.

For our anniversary this year, we decided to go out of town. Since I coach Billy’s soccer team, one night was all we could spare. After some searching, I ended up choosing a place called Smithfield Station. The place was beautiful. It’s a brand new facility with faux fireplaces in the rooms and balconies that overlook the Pagan river and the marina. We ate dinner out on the pier and I had the best omelette from the omelette bar which was part of the breakfast buffet. After breakfast, we walked around the shops downtown and had a nice chat with a woman who ran the Genuine Smithfield Ham Shoppe. The only problem we ran into was that the hood from my camera was knocked off and fell into the river and sunk out of sight for ever.

The roof framing is now complete. It’s going to take until the beginning of next week to build the stairs (offsite) and they will do the windows and the single door at that time. For complete details, check out the project page.

This past July, we went back down to Emerald Isle for two weeks. The two main things we did this year was a fishing trip on a head boat from Captain Stacey Fishing Center, and we rented a boat from Portside Marina and went out to Cape Lookout. The fishing trip bombed. Billy ended up being sick almost the entire trip and the fishing was a little too canned. However, the we had a blast renting the boat and going out to the lighthouse and hanging out.

From last year, since Halloween is just around the corner.

The started framing yesterday and have most of the joists in place for the second floor. Check out the project page for complete info.

Since football season has started, I thought now would be a good time to dig up these pictures from when we went up to a VMI football game last fall. After watching the parade, we went down and hung out and let the kids play on the Marine Obstacle Course, and then went to the game.

One of the things I’ve been spending my time doing lately is importing all our digital photos into a database and cataloging them. Here are some shots I took this summer.
