Rich's latest and greatest adventures
For all who haven't heard yet, we are moving to Galveston, TX to make a fresh start on my residency. In the mean time both Jennie and I have taken up temporary employment. Jennie is working for Xceligent a commercial real-estate research firm as a field agent. The first thing that came to me was a night watchman job.
On my first night I came across a 5 foot long pit viper rattling its ominous tail and reared up ready to strike me if I crossed its comfort zone. The picture is of the calmed down snake from about 10 feet away behind a stone pillar. John has since named my new friend suaria. I haven't seen him again but I am much more wary coming around corners now.
The other picture here is of my automobile accident which took place on the last day of my being an Air Force Officer. It was just one of those days.

At Sizzler with Grandpa Donaldson
On our last day in Utah for the holidays (before our 22 hour drive home) Grandpa Donaldson took us out for lunch with Mom and Dad and Emma and Mike. Doesn't he look great. We loved our time with the family, and we miss them terribly.

Racing
More racing
Cousin David
David and Adah, I think, had the most fun of everyone. David probably went down about a hundred times.

Don't miss the pictures of the Grandmas below
Great exercise for all of us. Here is Jennie dragging the sled which was usually occupied by John or me.
John, apparently not recognizing the sensitivity of electronic equipement to water, plasters dad with a snowball on camera.

We couldn't even get Lila near a sled, for fear, but she did like dressing up for the cold.

Great Grandma Larsen
I guess John was a little sick of holiday photos by this time. We love you Grandma. Thank you for all your support and love.

Ice and Roses
I don't know if anyone checks our blog anymore since it's been hybernating through the winter. Spring is in full bloom here in San Antonio now, it's been 90 degrees the last two days.
We went swimming in one of the few indoor public pools in San Antonio in January. The first two pictures are of us climbing the huge inflatable iceburg. That was super fun, but too tall and scary for John.
The other pictures are of our charming valentines day. I had planned on cooking Italian that night and having dinner for two while the kids watched a movie upstairs. We ended up eating Dominoes pizza on a plastic tablecloth in the living room with eight kids. As you can see in the pictures, we also had two sinks piled full of dirty dishes and everything that could be out of place or dirty was in our kitchen. Nevertheless, it was very memorable and there was lots of love.
The dishes are having a harder time getting us to wash them as Richard and I are both working now. I started full-time with a real-estate listing service company called Xceligent, working as their San Antonio field researcher. I enjoy it. It's fun to drive around (in their company car) and see all the places in the city. I like how it's so flexible, I put in the hours whenever I can and don't have to be at work by a certain time in the morning or deal with difficult co-workers. Lila comes with me some days and some days she stays with Karen (neighbor). Karen's kids still come to our house two days a week after school until 8. I am so glad that we can be here to help each other out. The Air Force has given Rich a job to keep him busy until his release on March 18th, but it's pretty flexible, too. He gets news of where his next residency will be on March 18th also. We may still be here for that or we may be in Utah. We'd be happy either way.
