Hawk

Never been able to get such good pics of a hawk, but today was able to get some decent ones. I love hawks... they're so stoic; just really like em, so thought I'd do a post on this one...

New Camera

My beautiful, wonderful wife surprised me this Christmas with an awesome new digital camera, with 12x zoom, and a bunch of cool other features. (Blows my other camera out of the water.) Here is a sampling of what I've used it for already (still have a long way to go in learning all of the diff options.)
The camera...

TREE

Once again, a Christmas tradition... to Stokoe Farms with mom and dad for our annual Christmas tree cutting. This year was nice 'cause we actually had snow for once. This is one of my favorite things about this time of the year.






The Finished Product

"You Make Everything Glorious..."

Here are some of my recent pics. As David Crowder puts it so well, "You make everything glorious... What does that make me?"

New House

Well, we just heard from our realtor last night that our offer on a house in West Irondequoit went through, and, pending everything goes well with the inspection, we will close Jan 2. Sooo excited. God has blessed our lives in so many ways lately. Our first house. Here are some pics, obviously with other people's stuff, but you get the point.

Beauty

As the weather turns here in Rochester, God reminds us that he reveals beauty in all the seasons.

St. Louis

Had a great time in St. Louis this weekend for a Youth Workers convention. It was sweet: got to hear and learn from some really good Christian speakers, and some bands like Jars of Clay and David Crowder Band- amazing in concert. Also got to go up in the Arch. Now I'm back with a renewed passion and ready for great things.

4 Peaks!!!

Well... another wonderful trip to the great ADKs. Good friends, climbing mountains and havin fun. We braved the elements, and conquered 4 peaks, all in one day: Upper and Lower Wolfjaw, Armstrong, and Gothics. Didnt have the best of weather, but we had a great time anyway. That brings me to 11. 35 more to go!
