Delila is learning well!

I have decided to take play time to the next level with Delila! Every 5 month old needs to learn a thing or two about playing the 360. So i took it upon myself to teach Delila how to play. She is learning very well and has nearly mastered the sport. My, how i love my sweet little girl!

HOLY HERNIA!!!!!

Well after 6-7 months I finally decided it was time to get my hernia fixed. It wasn't all that bad, but it did effect me. So I went to my doctor, who charged me a twenty dollar co-pay to have me drop my pants to make sure it was actually a hernia then gave the name of another doctor who would actually do the surgery. After about another month of waiting I met him, and he also made me drop my pants, but this time it cost me thirty dollars. We setup a time for the surgery. Happy Day :) or so I thought, I couldn't eat 12-15 hrs before the surgery, and then instead of 9:00 I had to come in at 12:00, well after three hours and a nurse who took three tries to get the IV in a vain, I finally went in... I woke up at 5:30 - 6:00 wife my beautiful wife, and gorgeous daughter.

The pictures were removed, because too many people mentioned it was disgusting.

The upside is I got off work, and I'm spending a lot of time watching my little girl grow. Plus my wife Katie is being awesome and helping me stand up, getting me food, and taking care of Delila when she's fussy.

These are a few of my favorite things.

Some of my favorite pictures of from this Nasa website: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html

I think I love these Pictures so much, because you can actually see our own galaxy.

This I love because it shows the galaxy the way it actually appears, when you're in a really dark sky.

Now I think this goes without saying. A picture with a Galaxy, a sun, and planets rovolving around the sun, how cool is that?

This is just a supply ship docking with the ISS (International Space Station)

Earth's Natural Satellite

Here is one of the best pictues I've taken of the moon, it's just really clear. Once winter comes I should be able to get some really amazing pictures. Hopefully even some of the planets. I've taken a few pictues of Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus. However till I clean up the images, I'd prefer not to share them with all of you.

This one is a little blurry, but I just liked the dark/light contrast.

This is just a more close picture of the lower right part of the moon, it looks amazing.

Telescopes Are An Astronomers Best Friend!!!

Well finally I'm following the trend of the rest of world, and posting a blog. Since I'm into Astronomy I figured I would start there, and see where the blog takes me. So here's a few pictures of me and my Astronomy life.

Here's me with my Meade ETX 105 (Left) and my 10-inch Celestron Dob (Right)

Here's the Cresent Moon taken with my digital camera through the eyepiece

Here's another picture of the Moon, a little close and personal that turned out pretty good.
