A peek at the last few months...

Sweetness.

I'm having flashbacks to some of Caleb's childhood pictures.

Looking good...

And the final step - a wash (with cologne, of course).

Spike!

Chatting with the owner's wife.

Silas is excited about his new haircut!

Our Christmas tree.

Bev's birthday cookie...I made it in the shape of a "B"...

Singing at our life group.

This is our back porch! Everyone came out to enjoy the snow. Apparently it's been almost 10 years since they've seen any in our city.

I think he won the snow-ball fight.

Silas's snow angel.

A snowman hanging...errr...a scarf being placed around it's neck.

A corncob pipe and a carrot nose, and two eyes made out of bottle caps...All the snow melted that night.

A week later we met some friends at the top of a mountain to discover a LOT of snow, and only about an hour from our city.

People from our life group having fun together!

Our neighbor's boy and our boys out to lunch before we went to fellowship.

Our new friends at their house for dinner.

Hudson and Silas playing with their daughter.

Me and Moonlight.

Caleb's birthday card time.

Silas and Hudson drawing with a friend.

Sultan Caleb.

Listening to some music online (the woman on the left's sister is the musician)


A reminder every time that He loves this city, this land, these people. He's with us, He'll never leave us or forsake us, He has a plan, and it is good!

Saying goodbye to Cutie, Silas's first pet (a little red slider turtle). This was Cutie's burial service.

I'm all for developing children's intelligence.

Silas at his school with classmates playing(posing) before class.

Family time

Artemus greeting people in the lobby.

Love these boys.

Love this artwork.


A cold and windy path...

...a reminder He's with us always.

Sweet angel.

Our own hermit crabs...peeking through the cracks...to see what they can see...at the bottom of the deep blue sea.

Taking it in.


A few finds along the shore. Not much, but it's not the season.

Lunch, almost everyone looking at the camera...Silas is looking at his camera, does that count?

Hudson loves to stretch his legs in the car.

January's Roadtrip

The boys with some new friends in an old city.

Admiring the sharks at the mall.


Looking over the edge of a miniature "Noah's Ark" at a really cool park in an old city.

A bit camera shy.

More new friends living and working in an old city.

ffffffrrrrreeeezing in a doorway.

A very cool area of the old city. Houses are colorful and very old.

A shopkeeper showing Silas how to carve in meerschaum. This old city is famous for meerschaum.

Hudson posing with a meerschaum pipe-carver. He's just posing :)

Silas in the courtyard by the fountain.

The boys next to an old cart...that is probably still used.

Old part of the old city.

I wonder if the owner of the car planned to park there...


Silas captivated by the icicles.


Playing with friends in another city.

Cruising the kitchen.

Playing hungry hippo with friends.
