Classy looking guy

Kristian threw himself at me for this one!

A bouncing boy.

Easter Brunch: April 8/07

.

Start your day with a big breakfast.

Breaking eggs together

Kristian likes gadgets...

...so I let him take this picture of me.
Now I see why he's sometimes shy around me!

"I ... have to ... go over here now."

Kristian also took a picture of his grandfather and Mommy, but it was mostly of her legs, so I don't think I'll be posting it.

Thank you, George, for the following pix:

March 25/07

"It's my birthday. I can hog Kristian if I want to."

No, he's not wearing shorts.
He has long legs and his pants were riding up.

Kia -- first in line for cake.

Sandwich Sunday

..and Congregational Meeting.
(Kristian opposed one of the motions.)

Sophie struck and held this pose apparently deliberately.

Ageing gracefully with quiet dignity.

Eight girlfriends?

Pam and Dave Harris: Mar. 12/07

.

Perhaps I shouldn't look so happy in this picture, since the reason the Harrises and I came together was to attend the funeral of Bruce Reith, one of my brother and Dave's best friends growing up.

However, it was really nice to see them, especially since recently they had sent us a scrapbook of pictures for the Fortieth Anniversary. Pam and Dave were steady youth group attenders and were married in our building as well. Pam is soon to become a Lay Minister in the Anglican church in Vernon BC. Dave is still an air traffic controller.

Worship Fiesta: Mar 11/07

.

After a yummy meal of Hispanic-type foods, we had a time of worship in song and prayer, followed by viewing and discussing a Vineyard training DVD about worship whose title escapes me at the moment. ("Experiencing Worship"? "Worship is a Heart-Shaped Balloon"??)

All this matchmaking had better pay off someday!

It's been over two months
since Kristian last posed for my camera,
but he's still got the knack!

Scotty looked as if he had been banished to sit by himself,
until Gord E. had mercy on him.
(Banished because of the shirt?}

Gord, Karen and Scotty were visiting during March Break.

Some use forks; most use their hands.

Insert witty caption here.

Yes, there were others gathered around singing.

Look at me! I can play a D!

What RP did instead of Crokinole

.

This was a Dinner Theatre fundraiser for St. John's Ambulance. I played King Roland the First (mythically) of England. I can't tell you much about it, because we might redo it next year at a different venue. This time I'll do a better job of advertising. (I'm in another Murder Mystery on Mar. 3, but it's sold out.)



Anyone got any pix of the Crokinole tourney?

Another baby boy for RP

.

This baby has no name, except "RealCare". Ask Doug Jr.

This worked for a little while.

Parking Lot Hockey, Jan. 7/07

.

Devin and RP were also playing on the frozen parking lot after church

Watch out. This guy now hails from a Stanley-Cup-winning town.

I am not a looser (as Tim likes to say).

.

I just won this hat from CBC Radio 1 and thought you might want to see it. I think there might have been only two of us who answered the trivia question today.
