Post Christmas, the weather warmed enough so that we could play golf. Unfortunately, everyone else had the same idea. While we were waiting to tee off, Emily spent some time getting some putting pointers from Grandpa:
I think they were betting money on this one. I saw money changing hands later:
New Year's Eve, we took Emily and her friend with us while we went to a movie. On our way back, we stopped at the Chesapeake Energy Christmas light display:
A riot of color:
Emily and her friend, Alex:
You can almost hear the brightness of the lights:
We're well into Winter and that means the days are getting longer and that means pictures of the dawn on the drive in to work make their re-appearance.
A shot from the Westmoore parking lot after I dropped Emily off to school:
Another shot, with a bus driving by:
I tweeted some of the following pictures already so those of you who've already seen them may leave. Emily and I were cooking spaghetti sauce and meatballs a la Grandpop Pete; though he lives 1,500 miles away, the smells made us think he was right there with us:
Coming along nicely:
Emily seems pensive about the recipe:
Emily-a, she makes-a the meat balls-a! (Imagine a Sinatra song in the background.)
Rachel's birthday rolled around, her 19th so not the same milestone as last year's 18th but no less important. Her choice this year: Red Lobster. She brought her friend Matt along:
Don't touch Emily's silverware!
After dinner, I had to drop off Rachel and Matt at Wal-Mart to get Rachel's car; she'd had a flat earlier in the day and needed two new tires and her car was ready. As I turned down on our street, the full moon spilled silvery light on over the houses. Who says you can't find beauty in suburbia? Of course, I tried to get it on camera. Of course, I failed:
And that's it for this edition. The days and weeks and now month are flying by. These pictures aren't nearly enough to grab a hold of some of it but they'll have to do.
