Half day vacation, decided to go Ingressing in Cathlamet in the next county over.  Highway 4 is truly beautiful, I've always loved following the river.  Nice to have some drama free portal capturing too, even if it was freezing cold.

The kids went to he store and got an amazing quantity of real, nutritious, fresh food.  They are chopping and blending recipes to drink their way to sugar detox over 3 days.  Xander is hungry but sticking with it.

A week of lasts.  My last day off work in 2014.

Bruce and I spent it playing Ingress.  We set of fat about 9am to walk across town to coffee, and four hours later only came home because our phone batteries were dead.  Back out after lunch, met up with a Ingressing friend.

All in all we walked 11.5 miles, 28,000 steps, and each leveled up to be stronger agents.  Getting out and about, it's all good.

This evening was our last church service in 2014.  The year is winding down, enjoying some down time before winding up for the new year.  Today we also tried to get Bruce up to level 8 in Ingress in Rainier, and I started tackling the mess in the garage, prepping for our summer garage sale.  Life is good.

Home again finnegin!

I love love love coming home; the only thing I don't like is the mess we come back to.  Because we left a mess, we brought home a stuffed carload of gifts, and I did a lot of after Christmas shopping this morning.  So, slowly pick away at the mess, find new homes for all the lovely gifts, then the Christmas decorations, nice to have two more days before going back to work!

Merry Christmas!

Amethyst played Santa, Mom can remember what the wrapped gifts are, and Diana pulled Dad's camera to take some photos of him.

And all is merry and bright...

Christmas Eve.

Spent the evening at Diane's, with great food and a fun mug exchange.  The stairwell turned out to be a good spot to chat with people and stay out of the way.

Here's Stacy, still little, but now eleven!
