Paris 2009, jumping pics are back!

The above three were from 2007. We didn't have time to hit the Eiffel Tower today, Hopefully demain.


At the famous Louvre museum today. Of course I decided to take the same jumping photo after almost a one-year hiatus from them!

Dinner with friends at Toshi in Vancouver

Tonight we went for dinner with dear friends (and avid blog readers). We decided to hit up Toshi Sushi, a very popular joint in Vancouver, where the wait is almost one hour at least each time. So worth it, though! The photos were just taken with my camera phone!

Collage of our house. We are still working on it, but got sidetracked, and are going to Paris next week! Hopefully we can pick up some items for it.

New Hillsong album is out!

Hillsong Live has a new album, Faith Hope Love, out today.

New townhouse for the family!

Poem for me!

One of the wife's students wrote me a poem. Here it is. Although sick, it made my day. I guess I'm tall to just the 2nd graders...

Sundin's gotta go. But who'll take him now? He is the biggest bust in recent team history. Even Messier played well for a season. We have won ONCE since he started playing. Our team is on quite the losing skid. Only Kesler and maybe Burrows have played remotely well. Pyatt is a huge and slow player who needs to get moved as well. That's my rant for the day. I've been lucky enough to go to quite a few games this year...but very few wins! I feel bad for those who have to fork out their hard earned money to watch these goofballs play like that.

English Bay - part 1 2009

It was the first real sunny day in a long time here in Vancouver. We made our usual trek to English Bay.

We saw about $20000 worth of Afghan hounds at Granville Island that one guy was walking. Imagine the grooming bills!
