Hi There Hammy

My parents have a rather large snake skin they found in the garden hanging by the front door.

We spent the weekend in York with Joe’s family.

This is a rather belated post. My parents visited us… Oh… last month and I’m just now getting around to putting up all of the photos they took with their fancy phones and the hipstamatic ap that goes along with all that tom-foolery. It was such a great visit and I’m glad they took all of these pictures because I certainly didn’t remember to!

Jessie, on the last leg of  the Top Notch triathalon. Go Jessie!

Paul, with the Sterling Oxen: Bronze and Chrome.

More meat bunnies!

If you want to see more pictures, you can find them over here!

In honor of the 2010 Winter Paralympics which starts tomorrow… good luck Tyler!

My cousin, Tyler Walker, will be skiing in the Paralympics next month in Vancouver. A German Film company just released a really great short feature about Tyler in preparation for the upcoming events.

Tyler got the gold medal in Mono Skier X at the  Winter X Games for the third time! Go Tyler! Next up… the Paralympics.

Since it was so sunny but so cold we decided to take Linus for a romp. He hasn’t been in the snow since his last shave and he did pretty well considering his lack of fur.

Headed toward the great whiteness, with a smaller lump of whiteness.

I’m clutching Linus in my arms, my gloves in my teeth getting ready to plop him in the middle of this mysterious snow.

His feet look like little raccoon hands to me.

And then there are always attempts to toss him into snowbanks…

I’m in Oregon, Joe is in Massachusetts and Linus is in New Hampshire. Soon enough we’ll get to take walks again, but this picture will have to do in the mean time…

My sister has been staying with my Aunt and Uncle in New Hampshire this summer and I just found a little video of a triathalon she finished this past week. Congrats!
