Drake hangin' out with our Godson Ben Bissaillon


The "most triumphant" evening of Drake's 14th birthday (January 12th)

Everybody in the family gets a special birthday breakfast, with "birth video's" playing...

This is Drake in his best paintball warrior form. All the Mc-boys went out to the paintball battle fields to celebrate Drake's birthday.

One of our good young friends (from our years at Deerbrook community covenant church) enjoyed an early graduation from highschool. -- so this is us, and the Egli's and the Simpsons, and Jonathan Christensen , and his mom Deanne, and his sister Katherine .. and a couple of other friends --- rejoicing with Jonathan.

On another recent free day we took a family jaunt over to San Antonio to visit our Aunt Alice, her husband Chris, and Aunt Ruth McIntosh. It was a special and wonderful time.

Destin has a girlfriend named Beth. She is a natural fit with our family. we all just love her.

At "New Year's" we all got crazy and banged pots and pans out in the street at midnight. --- right after the traditional "polarbear jump into the pool"

We celebrated "New Year's" with all our neighbors. --- the food and fellowship was the richest... Hunter made an amazing baked fish with poblano peppers -- wow!, was it GOOD!

Drake took a late-night opportunity to "jamm" on the piano in the Randalls grocery store... long after the holiday music school students had played their Christmas recital pieces....

The crew bus was late arriving for the pick up at Heathrow the other day, so Phil had another pilot take his photo in the engine nacelle. --- what does this have to do with 2009???

This is a shot taken by Phil on his Cellphone. The glaciers of Greenland have NOT melted, yet. When it was discovered that Al Gore didn't actually invent the internet... Al decided to invent "global warming"..... but that turned out about the same ... hence the new name ... "climate change" ... OK

Have You changed your climate today?
