Sunsets & Our Life

We love the sunsets we get here in Boise. They are a nightly occurrence, and they're awesome. In spite of the fact that they're predictable, both nights this week that I ran out to take pictures of them, they were nearly gone, and not as bright and pretty as they had been, even 10 minutes earlier. The one on the right, here, is taken from our front porch, and the others here are taken from various points in our neighborhood.

Something funny happened at dinner the other night, too. You'll see this as one of the chapters in my book, if I ever get it published, but we put a high priority on everybody gathering for dinner each night. As part of this, we'll often go around the table and each person will share what the best part of his/her day was, or conversely, the worst part of their day. With both Michelle and I, we each stated that the best part of our day was going out and shopping with each other earlier in the day. Christopher's reaction was, "That's it? That was the best part of your day? You guys need a life!"

But that's my life, and I can't imagine being any happier any other way! :-)

Speaking of being happy, enjoy also the picture of Andrew using Shadow as a pillow. Shadow seems to enjoy this, as do the kids. Christmas stockings hung over the living room fireplace (fake logs there, but we have a real fireplace in our family room).
