looking back

October 18 was Becca Triemstra's baby shower. We are looking forward to seeing that baby!

Our friends Jeff and Carmen Mercer got a Weimeraner (I hope I spelled that right). We had a good time making applesauce together and playing with the dog.

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?

Our Parlor is Done!!

I have decided to resurrect our defunct blog in order to make an official post and keep record of the finally completed resto-vation of our Parlor! This is for those of you who were not satisfied by the more simple 'before and after' pictures of the Facebook post, and want details on the nitty-gritty of a complete remodel.

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). Well, she got it, and so two weeks after she got the job we were packed up and heading back to Michigan, for good. But, before we left, our friends and various social circles held farewell parties for us. This was the general 'friends' party at the Wojo's house. I...
