Recent Pictures of the "Little Man"

Here is a selection of some recent photos of Marcus. We can hardly believe that he is almost one! Oh how the time flies...

What is that?

This picture deserves an explanation. He successfully pushed the crate onto the tile and then climbed on top as if posing for the photo!

Happy!

Sad!

Ready for the All-Star Game!

Mancation to Zion! (national park that is!)

Zion National Park

After a grueling two hour hike with a vertical climb of more than 1500 feet, we finally made it to the top of Angel's Landing for one of the most spectacular views I have ever seen!

The view off of the other side. At several points I never I thought I'd see these views. It was great motivation to get in better shape!

After 2 hours of hiking, this sign was the most discouraging sign I'd ever read!

Bryce Canyon National Park
(After Hiking more than 5 miles and 1500 feet vertically, we decided to kill ourselves some more with a 10 mile hike in and out of the beautiful red canyon. But with views like this, it was all worth it!)

The last of the good ones!

It's been a long day!

Okay, one more smile!

Cheeky monkey!

Some more photos from the shoot!

August Updates

I thought I'd use the five minutes left on my lunch to update everyone on our happenings. We're going to Toronto from Sept. 3rd till the 12th. We'll be there for Marcus' 1st Birthday! We hope to see you there (that is, unless you are not from there! But then you're welcome, but it's not likely you'll be there!)!

Meet the Bacons!!

We had these photos taken at a studio here in Vegas. Not a bad lookin' family, eh! We've now been in Vegas for more than 3 months. Work is great as I'm learning all the 'tricks of the trade' at Schadler Kramer Group Public Relations. Marcus turns one-year-old in about a month and we're excited for that! I'm going to try to make the updates a regular on this site and scrap the other one (if I can figure out how to do that!). Look for updates about once a week, but hey, who knows, it could be less!

Handsome photo!
