Pictures of The washington DC Temple

The library sits on a ridge with a beautiful view over valleys on both sides.  My friends in san diego were kind to drive me up there.

Finally made it to the Reagan library.  They showed me all of Richards papers.  There are a few shelves full  them.  The library is very well done and the view is fantastic.

One nice Saturday after being in the temple I took time out to try to get some pictures of the temple from different angels.  Here are the results.

My attempt at being artistic.  Rainy day waiting for my piano lesson to start.

Images from Christmas eve:

We had the children do a nativity, and Susan read a story.  If you look closely you will see there are 3 new girls.  Eden born 24 Jul and Carla and Emily's two little girls Sa and Sh Sa only arrived 23 Dec from Haiti.  We are all so excited to have them in the family.  Family pictures of each family.  

Trevor was home for the first time in 4 years and we also had Holly's mother and sister with us.  We had a wonderful evening.

Trying out a new Martha Stewart dessert.

The beautiful lights at the temple seems a fitting way to end the year.

Years end and looking forward to the promises of 2009, and the two new grand children a boy and then a girl.
