life recently First of all, as of today, I have a 15 year old son. Conor James Alan Creech came into this world, the largest, as it turned out, of our four children, on October 21st, 1993. That's him there with nature's devil horns this past weekend as we were camping. He's still a goofy little boy in a lot of way, for which I am grateful. He acts enough like a "teenager" to balance it out, but he's still my little boy. My "little" boy is 6' 3" tall and weighs like 210 pounds by the way. He is now officially taller than Dad and is still growing - Lord have mercy. Anyway, we're very proud of him and love him very much - happy birthday Con!
This past weekend we went camping for two days. We have a sort of tradition of doing this as a family in the Fall, usually in the Smokies, but not this time. Didn't reserve it in time and we didn't want to travel that far this year. We ended up at Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park here in Kentucky - only 48 miles from Lexington. It's a nice park. Mostly campers but there were a few spots for us tent campers. People had halloween decorations up - seriously. There was a nice Pioneer Museum there that we went through - that's a replica Kentucky Militia Man there on the right - cool history stuff, oh yeah. You can see more photos, plus some more of St. Peter's church here in Lexington - here at my Flickr page.
Here's a closer, more focused photo of the altar cover at St. Peter's I promised. I went to Mass yesterday and stayed after to take a few shots. I got some good ones of the outside too, including some door arch details that are very sharp. They're on the Flickr site too.
