This dog is awesome. He's a great outdoor
dog. Likes to run about 20 miles a day but
at the end of the night he'll come rest right
next to you. good pick mom.

Allie, aka my awesome wife

This picture is actually for Faith, our youngest
sister, but I stole it. She spent all last night working
on gifts for her siblings. I am continually amazed at
her commitment to love her family and friends.
Every other month her siblings will get something
in the mail from Allie. Her intentional love
is teaching me how a family should interact with
each other, and though I am reluctant to compete
with her level of intensity, I am slowly learning.

A leaf Allie found in Delaware Park.

Nature offers us so many beautiful sights.
Even after life has left this leaf it still
bares a unique beauty to it. It's as though
you can see the frame work of this fragile
leaf. How the branch that the leaf clung to
would work its way through the leaf's
organic capillaries giving life to this
now deceased leaf.

Edited photo of Tom at Jr. High camp

Kevin had the Jr. High kids do an

activity where they all had different

labels on their heads and you were

supposed to respond to people based on

their labels. Fun activity and great

pictures.

This statue reflecting Buddhism is
a symbol of happiness, contentment,
and prosperity. He is clothed in robes,
and his smile and protruding tummy
symbolizes abundance and mirth or laughter.
To the people that dislike this symbol, you
have nothing to fear. For thousands of years
people have been trying to personify the
characteristics and emotions of human beings.
It would be wrong to create any negative
connotations towards this symbol
when it represents such a positive light.

Downtown Toronto

my best friend, Myles, came to
Buffalo for a surprise visit. I was
shocked to see him and very appreciative to
hang out and talk with him for the short time
he was here. I am thankful to have a friend
like him in my life. He offers a perspective on
life that I think most people look past, or cant
even see at all.
P.S. that is Myles in the bottom right corner
of the photo

and understanding the person within.

Beans from Chinatown, Toronto

before the holidays I and three others
took a trip to Chinatown deep in Toronto.
Toronto has 5.5 million residents. 52% of
those residents are immigrants. The city
is very diverse and Chinatown is a good example
of the different cultures that exist there.
Honestly, it was as though I was in Asia.

Encouragement

A new breath has filled this man.
Yes he was strong before but
now a new opportunity has come
into his life to ease his mind
of tangible things, which in turn,
has freed him to focus on the non.
He is my father and I love him.

A frosted flower in central Oregon

Back from the holidays.
I was with Allie's side of the family
and it was a great time.
I'm not excited about the Buffalo
weather, but I am excited to get back
into a productive routine.
