These are pictures taken over the past few months of our family activities. I am trying a new photo posting service my cousin has used for years.

Pictures from our home away from home. We just live a few blocks from Lake Washington and bought this great boat to enjoy this lake and some of the other water ways around our home.

Her work team came in third place and we caught one of the last games of this season. Reminds me of when she used to play in the softball league in Torrance CA when she was little.

Pictures of the dedication of a park bench to honor my parents at Waverly Park on Lake Washington.

Our family has a tradition of getting together to eat and take family pictures. July fourth is the day for this and these are pictures from 2006.

Another successful campout on our boat.

We love our boat and spend as much time as we can on it. Half of our vacation was spent on it. This album has pictures of Sam's friends playing in the lake on October first. I think that will probably be the last lake swimming for a while.

These are computer generated drawings done with Bryce and Poser. I have been fooling around with this stuff for years and thought I'd put some of them on line.

Vickie, Samantha, and Sam's friend Irena at the 2007 Seattle car show. Oh yea! I took the pictures!

Our trip to Union Lake and Ivar's Salmon House.

The pictures of the lake and my Turkey hat for Thanksgiving.

I wish I had the pictures I took Thanksgiving. I was distracted for a second while trying to delete something I did not want and accidently deleted them all Thanksgiving evening. Very depressing! These are the lastest taken after this wonderful holiday. Some of these are of Samantha's birthday, she is now a scary thirteen year old.

What a storm we had! In some places the power has still not been restored as of today, December 22.

I wonder how we would cope if we had a severe disaster like New Orleans. I have taken pictures in and around our Apartment complex and some of the city as well. It was the biggest weather event I have ever been a part of. I saw at least one gust that frightened me a lot.

We made it through this without any real problem other than no power for several days.

These are pictures from our family calendar. Some were rejected for one reason or another. Most represent some great memories.

These are pictures I took on and about Christmas day 2006. We had one of the best Christmas holidays ever.

These are from 2006, but are from Christmas time and I thought I'd add to the season a bit.

These are some pictures we gathered from December of 2006. I say gathered, because a few were from friends and family.
