Prayers welcome :)

snow on the foothills :)

the rain has made things so beautiful. cold, clear air, bright colors, snow in the mountains...the trees are my favorite. they're the #1 reason why i love fall/winter (kind of the same round here)...

joey and gwen...





beautiful family


cam in his school christmas pageant...he stole the show as the unsympathetic innkeeper...

a few more trees:


just wait until i get out and take some pictures on our street. maybe tomorrow...seeing as i'm not quite up to my full prowess yet.
stomach flu = rather DIE
i was feeling stir-crazy when i finally woke up today and went to the store, and now i feel like i've lost a pint of blood. yaaay!!

Christmas is in 4 days...just in case you forgot.

anyway, that's all for now.

~my dad, in response to today's LA Times front page photo:

hi

sometimes....God teaches you crazy things.

other times you go to Disneyland for Dad/Lou/Mr. Police's birthday...







thank everyone for prayers...thanks also to Kallista for her lovely comments she leaves me :)
things are just up and down and i'm learning a lot about my own faulty nature. and about other people. and why it's so important to be faithful to God's will...

yes.

i've got some fun pictures from the end of the year party at a bar in Laguna Thursday night. that was 50's themed. i'll put those up later...
also pictures of Sarah, Alec and i having breakfast and playing nintendo at Pip's this morning.

(creepy singsong) it's such a pretty day...outside...today

once again, i will direct you to a post on Ariel's blog that i particularly liked. or you can click here. or here. or even HERE

you should really read it.

i am on spring break. i just realized i've been so busy i haven't really thought about it.
yesterday Anna chopped my hair off again so it will grow back in all blonde...it's the shortest it's ever been and it feels amazing. i trimmed the sides this afternoon so it has almost a faux-hawk-y look. :D don't worry...it's fairly subtle.
i slept in a few hours and then went running this morning...which was horrible and really great.
Sarah and i had lunch sitting in the warm light feeling the cool breeze in our amazing blooming spring backyard. i sunned my shoulders and she knitted a sweater in a straw hat. we looked at the budding vegetable garden. Dad swatted at hornets.

Sarah has been into making bread and she just handed me some of the best sourdough i've ever had...right from our oven. she's amazing...

there are a lot of things going on that i don't want to deal with and i have a terrible lot of school work over the next 6 days...but right now i just want to look at the Azaleas.
