Family Christmas Album

The latest photo album! After we got back from Oregon, Jenelle and I spent a lot of time with our parents and Andrew, Holly, Ella, and Lily, who flew in from Minnesota to spend part of their holiday with us. Ella and Lily are growing up so fast, and it seems like I have more […]

Christmas in Oregon

Time flies when you’re having fun with friends and family. I’ll have a bunch more photo albums to share in the days ahead, but for now, here’s the first one: Oregon Christmas 2008 Photos We were originally going to arrive in Portland on the night of Sunday, December 21, but the worst snowstorm in 40 […]

It’s a Christmas Miracle!

We made it safely to Oregon. There’s no plows or salt out here, and most people don’t even have shovels to clear the snow, but we’re having a great time. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Gah

Our flight to Portland, Oregon last night was canceled. The weather here has been ugly, but Oregon is receiving its worst snowstorm in 40 years. So, until things clear up a bit, we’ll be “stuck” at home. The forecast isn’t very favorable right now, but I’m hoping the situation improves before the end of the […]

The Annual December Endeavor

Here is our 2008 Christmas letter. We hope you like it!

Eighties Party

Last Saturday, Jenelle and I went to an 80s party thrown by one of her co-workers. It was totally awesome. We found some killer threads at the Salvation Army Thrift Store. Jenelle’s dress had shoulder pads, and I wore a Z Cavarici shirt. Fun times.

San Antonio Photos

Those who don’t regularly check the running log might not know that I went to San Antonio with my parents to run a marathon. The photos are up.

New movies

Head on over to the movies page for two new movies. One is of the five waterfalls we visited in Oregon, and the other is from the Chicago Lakefront Fall 50K.
