To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of people;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived

This is to have succeeded.

-Bessie Stanley & Ralph Waldo Emerson

17 & 18 weeks

Sorry, never got a chance to blog last week and as this week would have it, I only have a couple of minutes to blog. Here are some pics of our lives lately:

Week 17



Kimberly and I have been friends since my freshman year at PLU. Dec. 7th was her 29th birthday, so a bunch of us went out and celebrated by going out to eat and then to see the new Chronicles of Narnia flick.



Every year, Joe takes the all-girls choir to sing at the annual Christmas tree lighting at city hall in Steilacoom. Santa reads 'Twas the Night Before Christmas and we all eat those amazing Danish butter cookies I wait for all year long.





Week 18

Our friend Gabri is a budding photographer and needs to build up her portfolio. And we needed a Christmas pic to include with our annual letter. So it is a symbiotic relationship.



I love the black and white profile shot.



Looking forward to the sonogram on Dec. 20th! My mom's coming up to see her grandbaby via ultrasound.
