Impressive Horse Sculptures
It was a treat to see this amazing sculpture exhibit of mustangs today in Las Colinas, Texas.
There is a similar sculpture in Oklahoma City down on the river near Bricktown. These are photos I took this summer on the river boat ride.
I’m not sure if the same artist is responsible for both, but they are both VERY impressive sculptures!

Alexander in Holland, Michigan (video)
Alexander sees Lake Michigan for the 1st time
A few years ago Alexander flew with me to Washington DC, and we had a layover in Chicago. He saw Lake Michigan from the air for the first time then, but yesterday he saw it IN PERSON for the first time. Very impressive!
An AudioBoo Hello from UNT
Rachel is with me (Dad) today at the University of North Texas, and among other things is going to teach my pre-service education students about AudioBoo. This was her practice “Hello” on AudioBoo this morning.

Announcing a new web show: The Zebra Print!
This summer Sarah and Rachel wanted to start their own iCarly-style webshow, and decided to name it, “The Zebra Print.” I helped them register the domain name (www.thezebraprint.com) and get the site launched. We created a YouTube channel for the show as well as a Twitter account. Sarah selected the WordPress blog theme and made sidebar customizations, I helped her add a ClustrMap and add Feedburner chicklets. We published the first episode in June, but busy schedules have prevented us from publishing the rest. We still need to publish episode #3, which was recorded in Washington DC at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. For now, however, there’s three episodes for you to watch. It’s going to be exciting to see the girls develop their on-camera communication skills. (Some of us certainly have an apparent flair for the dramatic.) Enjoy!

Rachel’s 6 Year Old Book
This was a story Rachel created in Manhattan in September 2009. I took photos of the story pages this month over the Labor Day weekend and created this digital storybook using the free iOS app “Storykit.”

Casebeers and Fryers
What a great looking group of kids and wives this is! This photo was taken in July 2010 in Virginia.
Here’s our crew again, with dads this time, from August 2007 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Have these kids grown or what?!
Now let’s turn the clock back five years from today, to March 2005 in Monterey, California.
Now let’s go back NINE years, to January 2001 in Colorado Springs!
I don’t think I can go back further with digital photos unless I scan prints – I know I have a photo before kids… So when I find it in the garage I’ll add it here.
Just two more, and these are of the oldest daughters. First, March 2005:
Now, July 2010:
There are few blessings as wondrous as children and good friends. 🙂

Wild fiddle playing
Earlier this month my daughters and I spent a week in Manhattan, Kansas, and were able to watch part of the Mountain Sprout concert in the park on August 6th. This was some of the wildest fiddle playing I’d ever seen! These are certainly not “family values” themes, but the fiddle playing was extraordinary.
If you ever get a chance to hear these guys play in person, by all means don’t miss it. 🙂
