San Dimas High School Football Rules!




Anyone familiar with the ever so well scripted and played out movie Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure will have a fondness for Sand Dimas High School. Chris is doing the medical coverage for a high school football team that played against San Dimas. They sell t-shirts that say 'San Dimas High School Football Rules!', only you have to buy them at the spirit store when the school is open. I was pretty bummed about not being able to pick up some paraphernalia with the famous line on it.

Photography 101

Like many women who 'stay at home' and have a nice new camera, I decided to take a class on how to use that camera. It's just a short 4 week course where we meet one day a week. Each week we learn about a camera setting other than Auto and then have to take a picture in it. The first week was Program Mode (which is pretty much almost Auto mode anyway). Chris and I usually cart our camera with us everywhere but never actually make the effort to take it out and take a picture. I think our iphones get more photo action than our camera.

Anyway, here is week number one in Program Mode.





Next week is aperture. We'll see what happens.

Say hello to Baby Bell


As many mothers to be know and will agree, once you are pregnant things seem to take longer than ever to get done. Thus, this post about our upcoming addition is long overdue.

Baby Bell is due March 9th and we are super excited. I am now 15 weeks along and enjoying the lack of nausea that allows me to get a few more things done. Baby Bell has had an exciting life in-utero with vacations, moving, traveling, bike accidents, racing, etc. Things are starting to slow down and we are settling in to life in California. I am working at home on some projects that keep me plenty busy while Chris is absorbed in his fellowship.

Baby Bell appears to be healthy and vibrant. No definite conclusion as to the sex, (but I guess that's never really for certain until the baby arrives). We are open to any name suggestions, especially girls. We are glad we have 6 more months to figure that part out since the kid is going to be stuck with whatever we decide. In a way it seems like a big responsibility to give something a name. We have 4 weeks until we have the 'official' ultrasound and then we'll start buying pink or blue.
