Catching Up

Ok, so I've been taking lots of pictures but been dragging on posting them.  Here are a few from the last couple of weeks.  Click here to see them all.


1) Julie and I made it down to see FC Seattle Sounders play (and beat) San Jose.  While there Julie did something a little out of character - her hair.


2) Just some more shots from our lovely city.


3) A killer "white spider" that lives in our yard.  First up he killed this bumble-bee - then, just a couple of days ago, my wife witnessed the spider jumping on top of a monarch butterfly and repeatedly "biting" it or something - the spider killed this big, beautiful butterfly...if I would have been home, the spider would have died.  Still, I'm curious about this spider...anyone?


4) Julie ran and finished her first running race - a 5k.  I was very proud of her - she ran the race with her friend, Sue.


5) Lastly, Julie and I hiked up to Pine and Cedar Lakes in the Chuckanuts...

Lost Lake - Sumas

So a couple of weeks ago, on Julie's birthday actually, we went for a short hike to Lost Lake just outside of Sumas; (went with Julie's younger brother, Matt and his wife Nicki).  Had a great little hike - not great pictures however.  But here they all are nonetheless...

(cick here for all)

Julie's Birthday

Ok, I'm 2 weeks late, but here are the pictures...and there are some really good and cute ones.  In fact, there were too many good ones to post - you'll have to click here to see them all.  I've posted a few of the best below.  Thanks to Matt who took most of the pictures this day; albeit, using my superior Canon 40d to do it with.  :-)

If anyone wants any of these, full resolution, let me know.  Happy to email them out to you!

Finally, some updates

Ok, so I got a little behind. Click here for pictures only - I've got some new pictures and stuff but have gotten a little lazy - I recently spent some time last week with a friend of mine who told me he checked my blog from time to time - this was all I needed for a little "kick" to get me back on the updates. So, here is the first of three updates...

A few weeks ago, Memorial Day weekend to be exact, we did two things. First, as is our tradition, I bought Julie a lobster and she had a lot of fun cracking that thing open. It's a tradition for us as a local grocery store in the area always has "lobster days" during the weekend.

Secondly, Julie and I packed up a nice dinner and went for a short walk along the Nooksack River, followed by a campfire and a nice dinner together. Here's some pictures from the day! As you can see, Kathryn is not someone you want to mess with when she has a hatchet in her hand.

Also, for you photo nerds, yes, the pictures of the green leaves are much sharper than what is displayed here - these are pretty low res uploads.

Our Fair City

If you don't make it out, much, shame, shame. There is so much beauty to be seen in Bellingham. All of these pictures were taken within a 1 square mile block in downtown Bellingham.  I simply parked my car and started walking.  To see all of the pictures, click here.

Seattle part II

Here are the rest of the pictures from our Seattle trip, taken at Pike Place Market.  Click here for all the pictures.

Seattle part I

Julie and I spent last Sunday/Monday down in Seattle; first at a concert, (the Seattle Baroque Orchestra), then on Monday, Pike Place Market. This first batch of pictures are shots of the city...coming next, shots of Pike Place.

Easter 2009

Fun at the "Lake House" (wish it were ours).  I uploaded a bunch of pictures which can all be seen by clicking here.  I think this first picture of Leon is begging for a caption...

Easter 2009

Happy Easter...but never forget...

"Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.

Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the LORD's hand

double for all her sins...

Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain.

And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it.

For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."
