BBQ at the Weatherby's

What a great way to start the week! Having a nice evening BBQ with family, friends and Washers.

Sunday lunch with Aliya

Had a great post church lunch at Red Robin where Aliya entertained us all with her straw skills.

Family Showcase

Great family shot, Happy Saturday!

Daisy Days in Clarendon Hills

Closing out the Chicago series I wanted leave it off appropriately in my birth home. Here we spent some time with frienDoris and toured the now very modern Daisy Days. Have you all noticed a tread with the videos?

Time to turn up the heat! blog style

The Field Museum of Chicago is amazing; it has captivated my imagination since I was a child. I loved the dinosaurs but what I really think got me excited was the large murals of prehistoric creatures in their natural surroundings. This recent self discovery has turned me on to the art of Charles R. Knight. This turn of the (last) century painter was the first to paint early animal life, above are examples of this man’s extraordinary work. If some of you are thinking of birthday gifts for Dave Jr. look no further

Finally, some Chicago shots

Yes, I have been busy and neglecting family. Here are a couple of shots of the Science and Industy Museum in Chicago. Also, the added bonus of how I take a picture!

Welcome Home!

Well, the adventure is over. Dad took this shot early this morning (along with a call). I took the below shot on my way into work - far off in the distance you can see the boats docked.

Alaska Plane

Boarding (and ducking) and the classic finger shot. Zach, look - MetaDad!

Alaska Trip

Dad has been txt'ing me on his voyage north to Alaska - via his cell phone. The cell phone pictures have been amazing! Today he has promised a aerial view from on board a float plane. I will keep you posted.

Birthdays!

WOOOOOT! I am so glad both of you where born. Praise God for you both!

Happy Birthday

Feucht Sandwich

Yes, the monkey in the middle has returned.

Happy Birthday Jolene! Thank you for dealing with such a crazy husband. You are a saint! When you get to heaven, you will be closer to God - I promise :-)

Commuter

My secret way into work will now experience another delay...whooo whoooo

No Way!

This might be the best Christmas gift of all! Never seen it so green...

Future Brother-in-law

Whoa Zach! Man, things are happening so fast. I can't tell you all how excited I am about the upcoming events.

The Second Honeymoon

Above is the cozy little get-away that Jolene provided for our 10th wedding anniversary. The Skokomish River was so close we felt we were floating on it.

Woot! 10 years!

Don't ask about the bottom picture, I'm not sure what I was thinking.

Rafting Action Shots

As promised...Rafting action shots. Yes, I stopped paddling to hug Preston...it was scary.

Ray's 50th High School Reunion

Dad and Ginny came to visit this weekend and I was able to steal a picture from Ginny of Ray's high school reunion. Above is Ray singing his version of a "White sport coat and a Pink Carnation". Goodtimes ;-)

Rafting the Deschutes

Believe it or not, the first picture was taken on the first night...before rafting. Anyway, nice picture of Chris and the river. Hopefully, I will be able to link to some of Rich's action shots.

It's Green!

I think I picked the right color for the computer room (nerd palace)...yeah, it's about time we started working on this house. Todd P. has given me inspiration! And I know, it needs a second coat.

Amazing

I was browsing through Dad's Favorite pictures and found this one. Simply amazing...enjoy, and have a great week. Can you believe Martha is gonna get married (smile)

Martha Holt!

Nice work Zach! Welcome to the family, looks like a few fishing trips are in my future...I better brush up on my fishing skills.

Vegas

Fun Vegas shot...one of the more cleaner sections.

The Return of Sneaky

This guy found me while mowing the lawn or should I say the lawn mower found him.

New Faces

Some new faces and friends. Gloria and her husband Issac came over this weekend to enjoy a great meal created by my lovely wife. Of course, the highlight of the evening was watching me change the diapers of the latest Tsai addition.

Chruch Lobby

The church remodel has been going very well...but this was unexpected! So cool!

Leavenworth

The crew went to Leavenworth this past weekend. We spent our time shopping, eating, playing and enjoying each other. Post weekend, I had one slight problem...the 30 dollars of special room temperature fudge melted in my office…Beak!

Easter....a little late

I love the colors...Easter egg parents.
