Here are a few photos from a recent hike up Kelso Ridge on Torreys Peak. This had been on my hit list for awhile. The main trail is extremely busy on the weekends, but the ridge offers a more exposed scrambling route with far less traffic. We left at 4:45am, were hiking by 6:15, on [...]
We joined up with my family in Austin for a short but sweet family vacation over the 4th of July weekend. My parents rented an amazing lakehouse on Lake Travis (which somehow I failed to capture in pictures- sorry, Beverly). Probably the best thing about the condo, besides the view of the lake and access [...]
Topping off a string of weekend travel, Annie and I camped recently in Rocky Mountain National Park with friends from our church. We had been looking forward to this weekend for several months and we weren’t disappointed. RMNP is a pristine area with incredible mountains, rivers and lakes. Unfortunately certain areas have been affected by [...]
So the suspense is over, we are having a girl! Yea! Here are a few photos from our ultrasound visit. This, we are told, is the baby giving us a thumbs up. I guess she’s just letting us know things are OK down there. I also post it for all the Aggies. And here she [...]
I’m trying to stay on top of this, but am already a week behind! Last weekend Annie and I got to spend the weekend in southwest Colorado. It’s too bad that part of the state is so far away. So much to see and explore. Our good friends the McPheeters invited us down for the [...]
A little update from Colorado… Annie is finished with school and feeling much better physically. She is getting a bit more round, little by little. No noticeable movement from the baby yet, but the heartbeat is good and the checkups are normal. By the end of the month we will know if the baby is [...]
It’s been a few months since our last post, and I’m sorry that you all got were Yip Yips and crayons. Well, maybe not too sorry. So what have we been up to? Mainly teaching and architecting, and looking forward to warm weather and longer days. At the end of January we finally got together [...]
A few photos from our 2009 Texas Christmas trip… we had a great trip spending time with every one of our family members, as well as our friends the Russell’s and the Supercinski’s. Thank you all for the hospitality, friendship, and love. We took lots of family photos at the Carpenter’s, and I intended to [...]
