Looking Back (Updated Jan. 9)

At this time of the year most of us are looking forward, but I'm a little slow on the uptake and wanting yet to hold onto the latter part of December. We've been enjoying these days and weeks so much with Anthony back home - enjoying time with just the five of us and also times with extended family and friends.
Total lunar eclipse on the winter solstice - pretty cool!

Anthony back home again . . . priceless!!

OTHER VACATIONY STUFF

Times with family - just because -Me and a couple of my guys :-)Grandpa is so much fun; he has pockets!

Lots of gaming needed to happen, of course!




At Anthony's request during his visit we went to one of our favorite places, Knight's Ferry:

We LOVE Knight's Ferry! It was Anthony's request to visit it while he's home - lots of good memories here.I love these pictures of Jacob.Brotherly love :-)



And family craziness (well, some of us anyway!)
Yes, it is California, no, it is not THAT warm. They just wanted to be polar bears! (Photo taken December 31, 2010)
