3. Hiking in Frazier Park

Hey all, 

   I finally got some pictures put on our computer!  So now we can do that, so that's cool.  We've also been talking a lot with my parents on iChat, so we can see them and talk to them.  

We have been trying to get out more, and to that end we went to Torrance to see our friends Stephanie and Farman, who are engaged.  We had an excellent dinner there and played a couple of games.  A few days later we went to Frazier Park for a great hike, with snow even!  Then we went to the California Science Center for Shelley's birthday, which was a lot of fun, lots of stuff for Ella to do.  We also went to see a Clippers game with Troy and Christie, which Nancy had gotten us all for Christmas, as an added bonus, she watched the kids while we went.  Shelley and I bought matching hats, and a similar one for Ella, because they didn't have the one we got in the smaller size.  To top all of that off, we went to Tom and Cici's to watch the football games on Sunday, and had some great pizza and even played monopoly.  Luckily for me we had to end the game before I could officially be declared the loser, but unfortunately we had to end the game becuase Ella was getting really sick.  It turns out she had a viral infection, and was awful all day monday, but today she has been just fine.  But now Shelley is sick, with what seems to be the same thing.    So that's where we stand today.  Also we have new pictures up on our picasa site.
