Spring is just around the corner
Spring must be just around the corner. Today, I had 2 firsts.... my first road bike ride of 2007... a long 58 miles to Eden Prairie and back. Another sign: we have a new orchid with almost 40 blooms on it and the first bloom opened today.
Winter finally dumps
We have just had back to back storms dumping about 8 inchhes last week and 20 inches this week. Very pretty and very heavy. The biking sucks, but we really needed the moisture.
Sorry for the lapse in news and photos
I have been seriously negligent in updating our photo album and this news blog. Tina and I spent time in Costa Rica with family over the holidays celebrating Dad’s 80th, Tim’s 50th and Phaedra’s 30th. I posted holiday pictures on Picasa.. After returning to our real...
Fun at the Holidays
Marcel, Phaedra and Zander joined us for dinner last night. Part of the evening was spent with the 3 of them playing on the couch in front of the camera. I was experimenting with a new light meter filter (the expodisc) for my camera so many of the exposures are not...
Mom and Dad visit

1st visit
We finally made it over to Marcel and Phaedra's house for a visit. We've been here 2 weeks and just hadn't made time. It felt good to relax with the kids and to know we only had a 5 mile drive home after dinner. Zander is becoming more rambunctious as he gets older...
We Made It
We just finished hiking the Grand Canyon from the South Rim to the North Rim. Pictures posted at 2006 Canyon Trip. Now we need to finish packing for our move to Minnesota.
