Some of the fun we all enjoyed in 2008. More fun to follow in 2009

Everyone is back together and Lizzy starts school in Salt Lake City. Don't they look tanned?

Bill is making progress. Austin is concerned.

Daily life for Austin and Max

Later that week we found a little cottage for a winter home in Olympus Cove. What a view. We're just needing a few more sponsors before we can close on it.

That same day we had dinner with my brother Dale and his son Darrell who came to SLC where another of my brothers Bill is hospitalized still. We had a great visit together.

Nov 7, we spent 10 full days with Austin while the others enjoyed the sunny beaches of the Ucatan. His expression likely reflects the acceptance of us in lieu of his family. He was such a trooper sleeping, eating and being happy.

Labor Day

Max & Claudia with Tom & Kathy in the midst of a grand old estate in Palo Alto area. Flowers and rolling lawns abounded in a property managed by the California Conservation group.
Yosemite is marvelous spectical secluded in the East Central border of California. From this point the views of the entire landscape are visible on the horizon as well as the valley floor a mile below. Take a parachute if you plan to jump and there is nothing to break your fall.
Our last family picture with Claudia's Mom, Ruth in 2005. All the little guys and gals have sprouted up.









Roots of a Giant California Redwood below the trunk. Awesome !!
