"Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God." Romans 5:1-2
Jessica took this shot of Patrick & I are with Hootie and Baby Rocket Dog. 
Christmas morning we had a yummy brunch at Jessica and David's apartment. They fixed a nice egg pie & fresh fruit plate. We were so full afterwards that we had to move our Christmas meal reservations back another 2 hour to 4pm! I got some more Shadow Shots in Seattle that I'll share in the next few weeks.
See the tiny Space Needle to the right?

This is for John in Wales. Ever see a no pigs sign??
On the drive home, via I-90. See the tips of the A-Frames.
On the way to Volunteer Park in Seattle, Washington.
These are 2 shots of some windows at our daughter & SIL's place in Seattle. I slept in their living room while there and had to get out my camera for this nifty night time shadow. The shot below is what it looked like with my flash on. 
This cute little kiddo is C2's daughter M2 when she was a mere 9 year old. Her 11th birthday was Sept.27th so I thought I would share these shadow shots I took while visiting them for a gymnastics review in Tucson the beginning of 2009. It's amazing how quickly they grow up. I'm kind of M2's surrogate granny...or maybe her fun old auntie!!
In 1957 my Aunt Dot and Uncle Jim took me to the movie theatre to see a movie called The Abominable Snowman. They lived right across the street from us, so they came over to our apartment (we lived over our hardware store) to pick me up, and we walked the block and a half to the theatre. I remember it was winter and there was snow on the sidewalk and also I remember them swinging me between them by the arms. They always made me feel so special. Anyway, I was around 7 years old and going to see this movie was a great treat. As we left the theatre I remember stopping & staring at the movie poster behind the glass case on the outside of the building. Aunt Dot and Unc continued walking on as I stared at the poster. I then put my face really close to the glass to stare into the eyes of the Bigfoot and it scared the bejeepers out of me. They had turned the corner at the Ben Franklin store & were out of sight & I ran as fast as I could to catch up with them! It's weird how I can totally remember the experience and the how scared I was and how happy to be holding their hands once again. Here's a youtube preview of the movie I saw as a kid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utm3X0QGf0I
Pretty scary huh?? Gotta love the 50's!
