Merry Christmas!

the mens swim team came over for breakfast

Mom and I got pedicures on Thursday!

I *love* taking pictures of ornaments. Wierd but true.

propped up the camera on the dash for a long exposure during a snowy part of my drive home...

The view from just off the Portage loop

Best ski ever! (Portage loop, Saturday)

Me and Blizzard at graduation. I did it!

Yes, welcome back (this was at Taco Bell-- perhaps an expert burrito maker????)

Walt and I at our first Winter Carnival ('94)... And now I'm graduating!

Through the curtains and the window, across the street

guess what this is... ok, I'll tell you. It's the sun coming through our old windows and hitting the wall (and it's gone now, caught it just in time!).

sorry guys, not much to post (I've been SWAMPED with school and graduation and all that) but I did want to pass on this shot... looks like my first taste of snow (thx to Mum). We've gotten plenty of it up here lately!

new scarf! Lovely!

X-TREME SLEDDING... so fun! (we went on our secret spot in Laurium, .6 mi down a dark, curving road!)

Christmas tree in the living room!

Christmas tree in our kitchen window!

Dad's MASTERPIECE

making Christmas cookies!

240,000! Chevy-- like a rock!

Me, shoes on the wrong feet, a Sconie sweatshirt, what the heck.

two tough brothers (circa 1991)

Matt, looking cool and mature!

Marais, with her squirrel. And, she's chewed the feet off. Yeah, I don't know...

Mindy Boo, the gender-confused and sexually frustrated bird

Target, woo! Brand new! And with those big red balls!

Alyssum

So... what else is new? mwhahahaha!

snowflakes on the car... extreme close up

A tree blowing in the wind at 2 am

If I knew my berries better, I'd tell you what these are...

bip bip

in the backyard...

Snow! Yahoo!

SNOW!

I found some wierd things in my freezer sunday morning. Can you find: a hardhat, a remote control, a valentine? A remote control car was in there too, but not visible in the picture.

Chris and Michelle... Who allowed a Momma's Boy into the house!? What would Dad say?

Jen, Adriane, Me, Erm

Andy and Frenchie... hmm... where did the rest of those post-its go?

Kim, wrist deep in weenies. Note to self: only 5 pounds of weenies and 4 pounds of sauce will fit in a crock pot at one time...

The burban rolled over 239000 miles yesterday!

"the gales of November remembered" (Windy day on Lake Superior)

Kim-- it was cooooold!

Eagle Harbor

My buddy Al, hanging on my living room wall... "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."

Michigan's oldest concrete pavement! Earlier in the semester, our pavement design prof. offered extra credit to anyone who could find it (that's why I put my initials on the bottom-- no cheating!). It is in Calumet.

Now that is some old concrete!

Checking out some real-life traffic control devices so we can make our own (half-scale)

My brother Matt in Hong Kong! My parents are in China on business and Matt got to tag along!
