Mountain Adventures

Tracie and Nathan arrived in LAX last Monday to spend Spring Break with us in California. After driving back to Redlands and eating lunch at the apartment, I (Stephanie) took Tracie and Nathan to Big Falls in Forest Falls for a little hiking and climbing. We were surprised to see so much snow at a relatively low elevation in late March. At home, Ein provided some of the entertainment, with help from Kermit. Tuesday, we drove up to Big Bear with intentions of hiking up to Castle Rock. It turned out to be too snowy to find the actual trail, so we basically wandered around on the snow with Ein. short-sleeves in snow are one thing, but sandals?

An Update of Cosmic Porportions

Ok, so it has been a preposterously long time since we last updated this thing. My main excuse is that, as we did not have our own house to live in, I couldn't update as I didn't want to put a bunch of pictures on my in-laws computer, but if I'm honest with myself, I was just being lazy. But here it is! Rejoice, masses, for the Andersons have returned to the internet! So the last time we updated, we had just returned from a nice vacation to Michigan for Tracie's wedding. While we were there, Stephanie applied for jobs, since the odds of me retaining my job at ACA were diminishing by the day (although to this day I have not received official notice of my termination, although it is clearly assumed).

Now, The Moment You've All Been Waiting For!

Having decided to make a fashionably late entrance, the baby has finally decided to grace us with her presence! Oh, but there has to be a little bit more anticipation than that! On the 4th of July, Steph and I decided to take a somewhat risky (given her condition) trip to Muskegon, MI to visit the Johnson clan. It proved to be a beautiful trip. While we waited for lunch at Grandma's, Stephanie and I went to the channel to enjoy the beautiful weather and watch all the boats. Can you tell that Steph is eight days overdue? Stephanie wanted a picture of me, so I took this self portrait. I think it captures my 'essence' quite well! After a delicious lunch, and some baby talk with Jessie and Jeremiah (who had their baby June 20...congrats guys!!), everyone headed over to Diane and Dave's for some swimming in the lake! Then, on Tuesday, I took a risky trip to Detroit to pick up some molding I won in an auction. Yep, left my wife, who was 10 days overdue, on a two hour (each wa...
