Hey, If anyone has not yet seen Dreamworks Monsters vs. Aliens, you really must go see it. I watched it at the Imax in s3D and it was terrific! The animation was solid, the characters were very entertaining, and the story was great. I was super excited to go see this because my friend Jacob Gardner worked on several shots. It is really cool to see a friend’s work on the big screen and then see his/her name in the credits at the end… Way to go Jacob!
Other news as of late is that my wife and I have just adopted a new puppy. She is really great and so cuddly, which both my wife and I love. We saw her last weekend at the Montgomery County Animal Resource Center when we were just walking around. She is supposedly a German Shepard/Chow mix, although we suspect something different since she is so small (only 4 lbs. now). We were not really expecting to get a puppy at all, but when I saw her, I fell in love with the little girl. After filling out some paperwork Monday, we finally were able to pick her up last night. She is so soft. I think she was a bit of a surprise for my wife and I though, as we were up much of the night, taking her outside to use the restroom. I’m so happy my wife was able to work from home today to take care of her on her first full day at home. It will be an experience to see how she does with children as we take her to see Jillian, our little niece, and the rest of the extended family on my wife’s side. I’m sure it will be so much fun. Those little girls are so adorable. Anyway, I have posted some images of Bella (our new dog) below. I am so happy that our little family is now growing!
