Little Cheerleader

Here are a couple of our favorite pictures of Esther in her little BSU cheerleading outfit that I made with Mom's creative consultation.

New Uniform

This is the new service uniform. It has replaced the working blues and working whites. What you can't see is that I am also wearing black pants. So far I enjoy it. Haven't worn them more than 15 minutes yet.

Kari got some new glasses today. Yay, we can all see again!

Mountain bar

Some call it a "fudgie".

A good photo, with a great caption.

Sushi night

We had our Japanese friend Mariko over the other evening, and she helped us make sushi for the first time.  Rachel was pleased that our version didn't have raw fish. This was my first attempt.  My second attempt was sloppier but just as delicious!

Fire

If you live around here, you've heard of the enormous fire Monday evening in Southeast Boise. If not, here's a link to the article in the Statesman.

This photo accompanied the article, and ran on the front page of the printed paper. I've circled my old house, at 3498 Immigrant Pass. (Click to make bigger)



And here's a link to our friend Cyndee's blog, which includes a photo of how close the fire got to their house.
