New address, better blog

Hello my few readers. When I first started my blog, I decided to put it on www.threeps.net (my "personal" website) rather than on www.katie-jason.net (our "family" website). At the time, this seemed to make sense. Well, I've finally convinced Katie to start contributing to the blog, and now it doesn't seem right for my posts and her posts to be in two different locations. So, for those of you who access these blog posts through www.threeps.net/blog, please update your bookmarks to www.katie-jason.net/blog. At this new address, you will see not just my posts, but also Katie's posts. (However, at least a few people, like my Mom, already get to my blog posts through links on katie-jason.net. These people don't need to change anything.)

Back on the wall

Here is a back-dated post for this weekend. Katie is back to rock climbing! After Katie got the OK from her doctor for physical activity, we decided to see how she would do back in the climbing gym. On Sunday, we fed Penelope, then loaded her into the car along with our climbing gear. Penelope fell asleep in the car, as planned, and stayed asleep in her car seat the whole time we were at the gym (about 1 hour, she started waking up toward the end). Katie did great in the gym. She did four climbs.

First outdoor climbing of the summer

Well, summer isn't quite here in Seattle, but that didn't stop us from enjoying a beautiful weekend. Katie and I went out to Exit 38 with Peter, Aaron, Maika, Jared, and Emily for some outdoor rock climbing. Obviously, Katie can't climb right now (nearly 30 weeks pregnant), but she came along to enjoy the hike and watch the rest of us climb. The weather really cooperated nicely. Some of the lower, less exposed rocks were still pretty wet, but we hiked to the Interstate Park area (at "The Far Side") and found some dry climbs.

First post

After years of having an outdated website that I threw together myself with PHP, I decided to join the modern era and transfer my website over to Drupal, an open-source content management system.  I've also decided to take a crack at blogging.  Mainly, I think this will be a way to keep track of interesting things that my soon-to-be-born daughter does.  Kind of like an online journal of interesting baby things.  Or, who knows, maybe I'll write about other stuff.  Or, most likely, I'll write about nothing.  Only time will tel
