Return of Brian, Erin/Mike/Andrew, Etc.
Erin, Mike and Andrew came all the way from Chicago to celebrate Greg's Birthday (and enjoy their Spring Break!) Erin took the time redecorate Nathan's room, with alot of help from Nathan!
Mike is finishing up his second year in the MBA program at the Univ. of Chicago. Andrew will get his MBA in about 2034!
Greg and Jillair babysat one night when Erin and Mike went out with friends. Andrew got his first piano lesson!
Happy Birthday Greg!
Erin leading a family game, at the Twins Birthday party! Jake (Scott and Chari) is front and center. He and Andrew met for the first time!
Brian came home for his Spring Break. We went to the Wildlife Refuge at Modjeska Canyon. Brian helped us identify numerous bird species, including the Acorn Woodpecker, Banded Pigeon, California Thrasher, Oak Titmouse, and multiple others!
Hi Jillair!

Back Country Snowboarding -- Chapter Two
The previous week's expedition was a hit (see below), so Nathan, Greg and Ryan decided to repeat it the following weekend, again after a new snowfall. Jeff came along this time. Here he is breaking trail, in his cross-country skis. We are very close to the headwaters of the Santa Ana River, which goes from here to Newport/Huntington Beach. Following Jeff are Ryan, Nathan and Greg, carrying snowboards. Fresh snow -- powder. Did we see anyone else on the trail? No!

Backcountry Snowboarding, Chapter One
Nathan, cousin Ryan and Greg hit the trail behind Mt. San Gorgonio, in the San Bernardino National Forest, over the weekend of Feb. 7. Fresh snow had fallen the night before. We found some great snowboarding runs. Nathan rode like the abominable snowman with great board-grabbing technique. Ryan took a tough fall like a man. Greg witnessed it. He heard a scraping sound and then saw Ryan hit the trail, followed by "oh my backside!!" Greg's theory of the accident is that his board scraped the snow off a rock, and then his rear end found the rock . . . That didn't stop Ryan from charging on the mountain for our following week's expedition --Chapter Two.

New Artwork for the Office
I spent the New Year's Holiday and following weekend holed up in the family room art studio, painting a new piece for my office wall. I have a renewed respect for what the "real" artists in our family go through in the creative process. The painting looks better in real life. I am pointing to some "hidden" writing in the painting. Check it out when you come to my office.
