St. Mary's Glacier Hike

Located just outside of Idaho Springs, about 30-40 min from our house, Matt, Mary, Hannah and I went on a hike up to St. Mary’s Glacier yesterday. We took lots of pictures. Matt hasn’t given me his yet, but I put the ones from my camera in our photo gallery. Enjoy!

Swine Flu Road Trip I (video)

Day one went well. We are trying to have as much fun along the way as possible. We are stopped at a La Quinta in Moline, Illinois. Here’s a quick (low-quality) video recap:

‘Till tomorrow!

Swine Flu Road Trip (pt 1)

We were supposed to fly from Michigan this morning through Dallas and then on to Denver. Because of the devastation of the Swine Flue we decided to make it a road trip instead. We would be fly if it was just us but:

  1. It isn’t worth the small risk of getting Hannah sick. If she did get sick and something happened, we would regret it forever. It just not worth it.
  2. Sarah is supposed to work tonight and Sunday. If she caught something on the flights home she wouldn’t know for 2-5 days. During that time the possibility of spreading the virus to new-born babies and other people at the hospital would be high. That’s not respectable to the hospital or the patients.

So we’re leaving Livonia in about 30 min. Hopefully we’ll be able to update our journal on the way. Pray for safety!

Swine Flu Hits Michigan

On Monday (April 27th) We left Denver to fly to Detroit and had to fly through Dallas on the way. The people in front of us were flying home from Mexico. News todays has reported that the Swine Flu has hit Michigan with people flying from Texas. It looks like the odds are high that we may be carriers! Ed was scared with this news so he started wearing a mask around the house.

California Trip

A short video of our last short trip to CA. Not a whole lot of video, nor pictures. Enjoy nonetheless:

Made it!

us-at-danapoint.jpgWe made it back from our California trip last thursday! It was a good time. We laughed, we got sick, we saw friends & family. It’s good to be back. It’s a little cold though & like always, we miss the ocean. We didn’t take a whole lot of photos, but check them out here to browse through some.
 

Mmmmmm…..

korean-donuts.jpgOnce again we get to experience what we haven’t in so long. We’ve missed the feeling, the sight, the touch, and the taste. No, not California… it’s what everyone loves: a well-made, Californian-Korean donut. It’s been too long my friend, nice to see you again.
