Welcome to Astria!

A few weeks ago we hiked Mt. Rubidoux here in Riverside with my mom, Ned, and their daughter Ella. I captured many more images from this day that I'll post later. Here's a video trifecta for now:

Don't mind my breathing which is likened unto a small hippo:


Welcome to Astria (Carte made up the name "Astria" right there on the spot):

Dan! What's going on? You sounds like you're dying and Carter is eating up that mountain!!! He's going and going and going! Little kids and thier boundless amount of energy. He's so smart too! Astria, Mt. Rubidoux, Riverside, energy. Wow, you both are doing such a great job with him.

Loribeth,

Hey, where's your blog? You don't need no kids to get a blog! (;

Sarah, to answer some questions....

Stew, I think, grew up with Wes' family. He knew them all from the family picture. I think Wes has a brother Stew's age, or something. Also, Trisha knows April from Young Women's, she was her advisor. Small world! Stew is teaching HS art at West Covina HS. He really loves teaching, but wishes he worked closer. Someday. So, we'll have to keep in touch. I'll be checking out your blog to see more fun pics. Your kids are darling! Love their names and Claire's hair!! Also, Stew loves Danny's glasses!
