Hair, the Musical

Getting the hair ready for the family Happy Isles portraits on Saturday.

Rainey Day Weekend

It's been several beautiful days of rain in yesterday and throughout the state of California- much needed and we all look good in raincoats.  Here's a couple snapshots taken this indoor weekend.  We also had a nice afternoon at the Rabons' house on Saturday and all the kids played: Abby, Aiden, Holden and Treazure.  Enjoy.

Alpine Climbing

The family took a great walk today going on the trail behind the clinic over to the Lower Falls.  Then at the Falls Bridge we boulder-hopped our way up to the base, practicing our alpine climbing and bivying techniques.  Holden found a few spots for bed that he pointed out to us, and a nice spot for a picnic and then handed out rock sandwiches and rock water bottles.  The weather was finally overcast with a tiny, tiny, little drizzle for a brief few minutes in this much needed dry winter. 

New Years Day

As Laura posted:  What Holden wouldn't wear in 2013, is fair game in 2014.  Let's all be purple homemade dragons!

The Red Balloon: A New Years Story in Pictures

Oh New Years at the Lodge- one day it won't happen!  But for now, Holden has fun at the kids party that ends when the ball drops at New Years Eve in New York.  Then afterwards, it was home and too bed for us this year.  2013 ended with us all asleep by 10:30pm, but we had a grateful and wonderful year.   We love everyone and will see you in 2014- and debut a sibling for Holden in March!

XMAS Day

Xmas day at the Renspie's in Yosemite, CA.  With all those instruments, Holden was inspired to look like the singer for Simply Red!

Bracebridge 2013

Here are a few of the Bracebridge snapshots backstage of XMAS eve- our last of the 6 performances we were in this year.  Last year it was 7 out of 8.  The first year it was all of them.
