Advent Begins

And so we begin the road of preparation for Christmas. This year, we have a very neat centerpiece with a fan driven by convection. Isaiah 9:6 was our first reading.

Farmer's Market Fun

With a chocolate pastry and our chico bags on our backs, the Falls Church farmers market is just the place to wake up and get our Saturday rolling.

A Ride to Yourselves

What a surprise. A motorcycle ride and a lovely decision to make it to brothers on one bike.

Lake Lanier Islands Christmas Lights

Two holidays in one. A Thanksgiving visit to the grandparents and a Christmas light show to start out the festive season. Everyone enjoyed the visual candy.

Blueback Herring on the Hook

Time for a top water lesson from Grandaddy.

Working the Grocery Store

My first transaction for grapes and cabbage was $2.34. Future business men here.

Working Together

A christmas project is in full swing. Sorting the colors and on to the design of ornaments for the family.

Have space will move

An opportunity to spend some time in the garage created a better opportunity to move a play area over a well constructed land bridge from the safety of the home out into the wild yonder of the concrete jungle.

Fort Rugby

A muddy day, some sticks and a nice hill makes for a great day.

Go Rockets!

Thanks to Coach Oscar for a successful soccer season in the Falls Church 2009 Fall Soccer League.

St George in the House

It may be just a blur, but we thought it relevant to report the successful procession of Holy Trinity saints through the theatre.

Lego Jack-o-lantern - built by Dremel

Executing your request for Brains of Power Miner fame, we decided that a Dremel might be the best way to execute the intricate shapes.

Family Jam

What fun. A post piano practice treat. We realized that the guitar can indeed play the same notes as the piano if you pay attention to the details and the rhythm.

Checking out the Spider

Amazingly enough, a spider and its web has lived on the back of papa's truck for over a week.

Question and Answer

Q: Are you pushing him?

A: No.  I’m just keeping him away with my fist.

First Tunes

Abbey Road is the first listen on a personal listening device.

Birthday Legos for Littlest Boy

Big brother is a modern hero with his Lego® expertise. In this case, the littlest guy has taken a liking to the Lego City - Set 7744.

A Birthday Song

Sharing Lego cookies with the class and a bread bowl of soup are a special treat on a special day. Happy Birthday to Mr Jared as well who shares the 14th as his special day.

Happy Birthday!

A lego party and then a ride around the mall on a birthday train. Not a bad deal for our 7 year old.

Continued Fellowship

Bagels after church are a relished treat.
