I was thinking about blogging… and why we blog.  Personally, part of me wants to blog to keep friends and family in the loop about what I’m up to… but another part of me aspires to blog about meaningful stuff.  Stuff that people might find informative or interesting.  It would be neat to become a prolific writer about one certain subject or another ( Read more... )

Every time I see a picture or video of my niece, I always smile - she’s that cute!  I’ve been able to see her grow periodically from when she was 1 month old, 100 days old and more recently 4 months old.  She’s put on some baby weight, which makes her even cuter, not to mention a cute laugh and gummy grin.  i can’t believe how fast she’s grown!  I ( Read more... )

This weekend, we were going to go to ( Read more... )

Winter is my favorite time of year because I love doing stuff like snowboarding and going dirtbike riding… all of which are best when the weather is cold/cool.  I went snowboarding for my birthday since it was free last Saturday, but I couldn’t resist going back up to Big Bear this weekend because we got a nice dusting of snow.  Vu came with us, ( Read more... )
