I have to admit after the fire the blog really took a backseat to other things and then after I got things settled with the fire I had gotten out of my rythym. With the start of 2009 I’m looking to change that and get some content going again. I have quite a few things to blog as well as many more new oppurtunities in the future.
What better way to start the new year with a picture of our two dogs Calvin and Lucy.
As many of you have already learned Laura and I had a fire in our house last Wednesday night. We were out of the house for a potential client meeting and returned to find the fire had already put itself out but the house was completely full of a thick black smoke. We were able to get the dogs out and call the fire department to come look to make sure nothing was still going to start up again and to help blow as much of the smoke out as possible.
Pretty much all of the fire damage was in the kitchen but pretty much all of the house suffered smoke damage. Because of this almost everything in our house has had to have been removed for cleaning or replaced. Thank goodness our insurance agents have been so wonderful in making this as smooth a process as possible. They are supposed to have an expert out to find out what the cause as we’re curious to that as well.
Because of the amount of damage we’ll be living in a nearby rented house for the next few months while they fix our house. To all our wedding clients I should be getting my computer back today so I can resume work on getting everyone photos edited and out to you as soon as possible.
Both Laura and I want to thank everyone for their outgoing offers of support. We’ll let you know if we need anything.
A few photos quick pics of the damage:
Today, to celebrate our 2-year anniversary, Scott and I got to get our first real glimpse at Baby H, who’s 21 weeks old. We are not finding out the gender of our baby, but are taking bets (see post from early September).
Baby H. is already making an impression as a squirmer and a disobedient little bugger, and because of this our 3D images didn’t turn out that great. They’re fairly distorted, but we included a couple anyway because the technology is still just so incredible. I was kind of bummed though that we couldn’t see more but baby just didn’t want to cooperate.
Laura is the better looking half of Scott Haraldson Photography and also my fabulous wife. Love you babe!
Our good friend Gabe came over to build up his new bike, a Rocky Mountain Slayer, last night and Palmer joined in on the fun a bit later. Grease was applied, beers were consumed, and parts were installed.

and more important tools.
