	Camera Comparison One of the most important pieces of gear to take on our climbs this summer is a tiny camera. I got my hands on two new models, and spent a week trying to decide which to buy: a Cannon digital Elph or a Casio Exilim.
	New Toys For Spring The weather has been mild, and Mark and I had a big tax refund. Time to shop!
	Hydroponics Mom and Dad bought us an Aerogrow this winter, and I just got around to setting it up today. We're growing salad greens in our laundry room. Pretty cool!

	Blessing and Dividing of the Beef: September 26, 2007 This fall, we bought half of a cow to keep in the freezer for the winter (and eat). On the day Dylan brought it back from the processor, we thanked #9633 for her sacrifice, and divided up the huge pile of beef.
