Abbie cheerleading

Perhaps the cutest little cheerleader ever.

Peter's first day of pre-school

Yep, that boys in pre-school now.

Abbie"s first day of school

Can you believe she's in 2nd grade already? I can't.

San Francisco

10 years later and she is still as beautiful as ever!

July 13th

I post these pictures of my birthday not to make you feel guilty for not sending me a present, which you didn't, except you Mark, your a true friend (sorry I forgot your birthday again), but to point out my cake. It was half eaten before I got to blow out the candles. That's OK because my beautiful wife made me a gooey butter cake. No big deal you say, well no one knows what one is up here in the Pac NW. I haven't had gooey butter since about 1995. It was worth the wait. Maybe next time it won't be half eaten before I blow out the candles. Oh yeah the other pictures are of the kids enjoying our new pool. One that Abbie swore would be no fun "because it's a toddler pool and as you can see I'm no toddler." But she had a blast in it anyway.

The hike

We did a hike to the top of Harney Peak. It was a 6.5 mile round trip hike with 1500 feet of elevation gain and Abbie made it every step of the way. Never complaining once. Cheri and I were very proud of her.
