Look, I'm Skating

With those new slippers from Uber Gramma Visser, skating indoors is a snap!

What's This Now?

Well, Micah and I thought the story was that this strong dragon was rescuing a brave soldier and bringing her back to the fort. That's our story, and we're sticking to it.

Vigilance

It took some doing to get this handheld image of our cat, Jehu. But the moment he locked onto something happening outside his pose was fixed.

"Hang On"

Thundering down the slopes at break-neck speeds

One can only imagine what the stresses are on the GT-Flyer carrying both of us

Late One Night, last summer

Just thought you wanted to see this little guy. He/she's crawling along an edge of our camper. Taken with flash.

Sr. Helen Prejean

I like this lady; we had a blast when she visited and met with a bunch of us during the last week of September. She's the author of "Deadman Walking" among other books.

Tall Trials

On a recent flight to Winnipeg; a self-portrait demonstrating that the washroom on that flight was economy sized.

And there were Two

A good party was had by all, though we could used more of the stuff Josh and friends had!

The Key to Life

Micah insisted on inserting the yellow key into our creation.

First Snow Fall - Nov 18, 2005

There was just enough snow on the deck for Micah and me to make the season's first snow person

From the "Dream Home Series"

While Jean & I were in Winnipeg we walked the alley ways near where we were staying and spied this stunning little house. Wow, some kids start young.

"Best Toy"

Micah says, "Say, Cheese...click" This is one toy to which Micah returns consistently.

Singing: "The Wheels on the Bus"
The neat part of this game was when Micah would stop and say, "I'll get another hat [or something] .. I'll be right back!" Off he would go, only to be back in a moment with something else for the bus ride. Of course, Micah, who loves repetition, would do this over and over. All in all, it was great fun!!!

Colouring Fest

Colouring really is FUN!

Micah was with Oma & Opa for the Weekend

The Weekend Begins by dragging out some toys

The Aviator

Watched "The Aviator" twice. Stories about such people, their lives and accomplishments are fascinating. If you're interested, especially if you've seen the movie, here's a good site that covers a fair bit about Howard Hughes, some of his words, with lots of pics. Here's another mostly about the "Spruce Goose".
