Happy Birthday, Pat...where ever you might be

Today would have been my father-in-law's 70th birthday. He was a great man--so full of love and eternally devoted to his family and just LOVED his grandkids. He never got to know 6 of them. He died a month after he turned 62 in April 2003. I can't believe it's been 8 years without him. My kids were 2 1/2, 18 months and 5 months when he died. They don't remember him which is sad. The older two were lucky enough to spend the last 3 weeks of his life with him. I had a nervous breakdown and they stayed with my in-laws for those three weeks while I recovered (kept the baby with me). They still don't remember him, though. Brenna was only a baby when he died. His first great-granddaughter, Heaven, was 2 months old (born on Valentine's Day). He never got to meet Nora, Jack or his other two great-granddaughters, Hailey and Hope.

This was taken in 2000, just after my oldest daughter, Meagan, was born. The little boy is my husband's nephew, Cody. He was 18 months (he's now 12! and my daughter will be 11 this summer).

Stargate SG-1 icons: Janet Fraiser

Tried some new techniques for some of these.  Probably won't remember what I did, though.

Firefly

Watching Firefly on the Discovery Science channel WITH my husband.  Not only that but he turned it on and is actually watching and commenting on it instead of just making fun of me for liking a show that was canceled after 1/2 a season.

So is the Science channel going to be the new Sci-fi channel?  Because SyFy isn't all that sci-fi-ish any more.

Gosh, this show was freaking awesome on so many levels.  Joss Whedon is a genius.

Enterprise icons: season 1

My first non-Stargate icons in a very long time.  I really like how some of these turned out.
