Dani and Levi continue to keep me on my toes and fill life with smiles and tears depending on the day. Dani has gotten used to having a little brother...she checks on him in between playing dress up and having tea parties. Levi on the other hand is in love with Dani...when she is in the room his eyes never</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">leave her.

I've heard that this can be a rough birthday for some and as I sit here at 4am suffering from a case of prego insomnia I realize I feel ready to settle into 30. I feel content in who I am and where I am in life...30 doesn't seem like a death sentence of youth but instead the freedom to relax in who I've become. Sure there is still a ton of things I want to achieve and change about myself but I can honestly say in this moment I am happy with life.<br /><br /> I look forward to this year of change that lies ahead...settling into being a mother of two and looking forward to meeting my son. I don't want to miss this moment because I'm wishing I had done x, y and z before I hit thirty. I'm thankful for the friends that I have that are far and close that will celebrate this day with me...especially <span style="font-weight:bold;">Holly, Suz, and Jenny</span> to whom I wish we could magically live in the same town...thank you for keeping in touch and reminding me in subtle ways of who I am. To <span style="font-weight:bold;">my sisters</span> I would've never made it in Portland without you...love you both.<br /><br />These last coupe years I've felt a little lost in life not sure of what Mike & I were doing or if we had made the right choices but now as I see where we are I know this is exactly where we're suppose to be...God does have a plan for our lives! So as I look at my 30th birthday I'm not filled with dread, depression, or regret but instead contentment in where I am and anticipation for what is waiting for me in this year.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1701796397201816841-408794124999230683?l=mikeemilydanika.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Harper Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16449067108177759743noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701796397201816841.post-58978628731185769432009-02-04T15:01:00.000-08:002009-02-04T15:16:31.075-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SYohFHTPBkI/AAAAAAAAAJk/jEFtxgGtvtk/s1600-h/DSCN2092.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SYohFHTPBkI/AAAAAAAAAJk/jEFtxgGtvtk/s200/DSCN2092.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299084283297596994" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SYoewUWhYqI/AAAAAAAAAJc/01OkZDfFDXw/s1600-h/DSCN1976.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SYoewUWhYqI/AAAAAAAAAJc/01OkZDfFDXw/s200/DSCN1976.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299081727000535714" /></a><br />Turning 2 is a big deal you're no longer a baby... Dani is now a big girl and she reminds of this everyday. I have to say even though I hate the thought of her growing older and becoming more and more independent...it's fun to watch happen. Everyday she has new little sayings and she will surprise me with "Mama I love you" out of nowhere and wrap her arms around me.

Danika loved all the fish, i've never seen her so excited she ran from tank to tank screeching. It was a great end to the summer.<br /> Life has been busy with my youngest sister Melissa moving in to go to college and Mike going back to school in preparation for the future. Dani is talking non-stop these days...her favorite phrase is "I don't want it!" as she shakes her head and finger no.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1701796397201816841-1114826439430645889?l=mikeemilydanika.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Harper Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16449067108177759743noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701796397201816841.post-36719158959780346362008-07-24T21:51:00.000-07:002008-12-13T00:19:25.835-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SI6qwn7AGWI/AAAAAAAAAEM/GhwDlrKYFJs/s1600-h/6479.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SI6qwn7AGWI/AAAAAAAAAEM/GhwDlrKYFJs/s200/6479.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228303969750620514" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SI6qw182-6I/AAAAAAAAAEU/Qui96B7-7tc/s1600-h/6519.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SI6qw182-6I/AAAAAAAAAEU/Qui96B7-7tc/s200/6519.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228303973516508066" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SI6pvmt-5-I/AAAAAAAAAD8/j-BnExUfEBA/s1600-h/7769.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SI6pvmt-5-I/AAAAAAAAAD8/j-BnExUfEBA/s200/7769.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228302852736083938" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SI6pvmKVPII/AAAAAAAAAEE/JuoMXPVDc9s/s1600-h/7753.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SI6pvmKVPII/AAAAAAAAAEE/JuoMXPVDc9s/s200/7753.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228302852586552450" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SI6mSv7vKrI/AAAAAAAAADM/BmmSUhSGFws/s1600-h/8468.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SI6mSv7vKrI/AAAAAAAAADM/BmmSUhSGFws/s200/8468.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228299058458602162" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SI6mS9OzO-I/AAAAAAAAADU/GX7utuWPbrI/s1600-h/8490.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SI6mS9OzO-I/AAAAAAAAADU/GX7utuWPbrI/s200/8490.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228299062028221410" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SI6mS0CnuRI/AAAAAAAAADc/OLE5o19lF1w/s1600-h/7777.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SI6mS0CnuRI/AAAAAAAAADc/OLE5o19lF1w/s200/7777.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228299059561216274" /></a><br />I know many of you have complained that I haven't posted in awhile but that is because we've been busy soaking up the sun! We've been going to the pool, having bbqs, visiting the mini water parks that are all over town for kids, going to the zoo, and hanging out in the back yard. Portland has been truly beautiful this summer. We also got a chance to come to California and spend time with family and friends who we're missing already! <br /><br />The last pic is Dani's latest hair style...she actually lets me put a ponytail in but there is no telling how long she'll leave it before pulling it out.<br /><br />Enjoy the pics...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1701796397201816841-3671915895978034636?l=mikeemilydanika.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Harper Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16449067108177759743noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701796397201816841.post-64731397769022374892008-04-14T14:06:00.000-07:002008-12-13T00:19:26.135-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SAPHzNQUnSI/AAAAAAAAADE/RhwFgYNXVW4/s1600-h/Art+Show+007.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/SAPHzNQUnSI/AAAAAAAAADE/RhwFgYNXVW4/s200/Art+Show+007.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189210878206319906" /></a><br />Somedays I feel bad for myself...poor me I have to go to work for a couple hours a day and then I capture pictures like this of Dani at work with me and realize I'm blessed!

Here I am trying to get over it...there isn't any reason I haven't been blogging I guess I haven't felt like I had any thing to talk about. I've kinda been in a funk because of a couple of changes in circumstance. <br /><br />Ok I know out with it, in December Mike & I were approached by our good friends here to possibly carry their baby for them...they've been trying to have a baby since before we met them and due medical circumstances she is currently unable to carry her own baby. Her sister was going to but that didn't work out...so they asked us - me it didn't come completely out of the blue I had commented that I would be open to it when they realized they would need a gestational carry. They would make truly amazing parents...you know when you meet people that can't have children and you know that there must be a mistake. <br /><br />Anyways many of you are probably saying they should just adopt which is what I said before I had Danika. But the truth is there is a completely different experience that comes with having your own child created by you and your husband...that has many of your characteristics and mannerisms. I think adoption is wonderful but I do respect people's decision to try every avenue before going that route. So Mike & I prayed about this and felt that God was calling me to carrying their baby. I began getting different tests done to see if my body would be a good fit and it was so we got a green light to go forward. <br /><br />I didn't tell many people because I didn't want their reactions to sway our decision...I felt that this was exactly what I was suppose to do. So I began the process of getting my body ready to receive this embryo by hormone injections, this was definitely not my favorite part...but it wasn't too bad. Mentally I was preparing to carrying this baby for someone else, I had to have a psychological evaluation and we met with attorneys that spelled everything thing out in black and white. <br /><br />So the day before the transfer where they implant the embryo in my body the fertility office called to report that none of the embryos made it through the unfreezing process. Our friends were devastated...and I was shocked, I thought this is what God had called me to do. I felt confused as to why I would go through this...I know God has a plan bigger than I can comprehend but that doesn't make it any easier to walk through in the moment.<br /><br />It has been a couple weeks since then and it didn't take long to get used to the idea of not being pregnant with someone else's baby. So Dani and I are coming to California to visit my family and have some rest and relaxation in the sun. My mom already has our scheduled packed with family engagements we won't make it up to San Luis this trip but hopefully in June. <br /><br />Does anyone have any tips for flying with a wild 15 month old...I know its only a 2-hr plane ride but she hasn't sat still for longer than 5 minutes for awhile.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1701796397201816841-3139825677150281513?l=mikeemilydanika.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Harper Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16449067108177759743noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701796397201816841.post-45051641790691531112008-01-28T22:36:00.001-08:002008-12-13T00:19:26.993-08:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/R57LH7bwmnI/AAAAAAAAACs/fcQwHieRspI/s1600-h/5279.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/R57LH7bwmnI/AAAAAAAAACs/fcQwHieRspI/s200/5279.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160785560086813298" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/R57LILbwmoI/AAAAAAAAAC0/7wYcq8TosUE/s1600-h/5289.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/R57LILbwmoI/AAAAAAAAAC0/7wYcq8TosUE/s200/5289.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160785564381780610" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/R57Js7bwmmI/AAAAAAAAACk/zTqp7K8pshA/s1600-h/5303.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/R57Js7bwmmI/AAAAAAAAACk/zTqp7K8pshA/s200/5303.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160783996718717538" /></a><br />Something I love about Portland are random snow days...they're magical because snow is forcasted for weeks and never comes then one morning you wake up and it has arrived. Work and school are canceled, everyone comes out of their homes to play in the snow. It is truly beautiful!

It truly made me miss living in California, don't get me wrong we love portland...the coffee shops...the rain and cold weather getting bundled up...the zoo...walking in the forest by our house. All that aside I still love California and the feeling of home it has for me...I miss being close to family and friends. Something changed in me this last trip and the idea that one day we might move back rose to the surface, up until recently I thought Portland would be our home for a long time. I'm not saying we're moving back tommorrow I do feel we have a purpose in portland right now but i no longer think it is forever instead I view it as a season. <br /><br />Anyways, we had a wonderful trip...it was quick packed with family and friend time. Thanks so much Rodgers family, Hollister family, and Mel & Dave for letting us stay in your homes...seeing you made me want to move that much more! <br />The next post will be Danika's 1st Birthday ....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1701796397201816841-5895807561233514015?l=mikeemilydanika.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Harper Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16449067108177759743noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701796397201816841.post-24524960827056942122007-11-12T20:39:00.000-08:002008-12-13T00:19:28.214-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/R0GCm70ImtI/AAAAAAAAACE/Xd-OHwyZx0M/s1600-h/IMG_3336.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/R0GCm70ImtI/AAAAAAAAACE/Xd-OHwyZx0M/s200/IMG_3336.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134528655582075602" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/R0GCeb0ImsI/AAAAAAAAAB8/9hve1TRXqpE/s1600-h/4297.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/R0GCeb0ImsI/AAAAAAAAAB8/9hve1TRXqpE/s200/4297.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134528509553187522" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RzkrH9dQKrI/AAAAAAAAAB0/Sm1_r8vdt4U/s1600-h/IMG_3372.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RzkrH9dQKrI/AAAAAAAAAB0/Sm1_r8vdt4U/s320/IMG_3372.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132180666121726642" /></a><br />Auntie Meg makes everything in life a little better for Dani which in turn makes everything in my life a little better. There is nothing more valuable in my life right now then having a person along with Mike & I who loves Dani unconditionally. Auntie Meg comes over to spend time with Dani about every other day...she is always up to babysit and if she hasn't watched Dani for awhile she demands Mike & I go out on a date! It is hard to put into words my gratitude...thank you does not seem enough when you're talking about someone who loves your child. I do want to thank Auntie Meg for all the love, books, clothes, and reminders of how wonderful it is to have Dani in our lives. We love you Auntie Meg!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1701796397201816841-2452496082705694212?l=mikeemilydanika.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Harper Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16449067108177759743noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701796397201816841.post-69790566808806762222007-11-03T05:29:00.001-07:002008-12-13T00:19:28.909-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RyxqLYeZ9bI/AAAAAAAAABc/wIcrwkmIp4w/s1600-h/IMG_3337.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RyxqLYeZ9bI/AAAAAAAAABc/wIcrwkmIp4w/s320/IMG_3337.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128590819449238962" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RyxqLoeZ9cI/AAAAAAAAABk/iQyTIwsTHeo/s1600-h/IMG_3342.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RyxqLoeZ9cI/AAAAAAAAABk/iQyTIwsTHeo/s320/IMG_3342.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128590823744206274" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RyxqMIeZ9dI/AAAAAAAAABs/yVm4FKBfaNQ/s1600-h/IMG_3338.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RyxqMIeZ9dI/AAAAAAAAABs/yVm4FKBfaNQ/s320/IMG_3338.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128590832334140882" /></a><br /><br />We had a great first Halloween with Dani!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1701796397201816841-6979056680880676222?l=mikeemilydanika.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Harper Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16449067108177759743noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701796397201816841.post-46855752774753662082007-10-21T14:16:00.000-07:002008-12-13T00:19:29.232-08:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RxvCY-XxxMI/AAAAAAAAABM/v7lW5NpXmxQ/s1600-h/IMG_3229.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RxvCY-XxxMI/AAAAAAAAABM/v7lW5NpXmxQ/s320/IMG_3229.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123902735379449026" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RxvCZeXxxNI/AAAAAAAAABU/bXpbpsPcbhQ/s1600-h/IMG_3240.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RxvCZeXxxNI/AAAAAAAAABU/bXpbpsPcbhQ/s320/IMG_3240.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123902743969383634" /></a><br />Dani and her first trip to the pumpkin patch...we had to put her in a costume! She got alot of attention from various visitors and a couple pictures were taken from a random grandma. The one problem with the skunk costume is she is often viewed as a boy...I'm thinking about tying a pink bow around her tail or something. Dani made her way over and through piles of pumpkins and then we picked one for home.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1701796397201816841-4685575277475366208?l=mikeemilydanika.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Harper Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16449067108177759743noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701796397201816841.post-57489815285173949472007-09-15T22:31:00.000-07:002008-12-13T00:19:29.397-08:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RuzBS8HCQTI/AAAAAAAAABE/rVUYFiRi1lQ/s1600-h/IMG_3060.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RuzBS8HCQTI/AAAAAAAAABE/rVUYFiRi1lQ/s320/IMG_3060.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110672208276111666" /></a><br />Dani is thinking about what she wants to eat...peas and rice cereal or carrots and rice cereal. Dani has tried a variety of new foods and if I had to pick what her favorite was I would say anything Mike or I are eating. It's funny how almost from birth you want what someone else has...she has no idea her food is tasteless compared to ours but she will reach out for ours over hers everytime. I guess this is just the beginning....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1701796397201816841-5748981528517394947?l=mikeemilydanika.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Harper Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16449067108177759743noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701796397201816841.post-7660250272139329562007-09-03T21:58:00.001-07:002008-12-13T00:19:30.256-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RtznykMUrZI/AAAAAAAAAA8/I2_sl2Yw8nE/s1600-h/IMG_2977.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RtznykMUrZI/AAAAAAAAAA8/I2_sl2Yw8nE/s320/IMG_2977.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106210933426138514" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RtznUUMUrVI/AAAAAAAAAAc/h-5atpa8M3Q/s1600-h/IMG_2981.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RtznUUMUrVI/AAAAAAAAAAc/h-5atpa8M3Q/s320/IMG_2981.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106210413735095634" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RtznUkMUrWI/AAAAAAAAAAk/lcdN6vGYGm8/s1600-h/IMG_2976.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RtznUkMUrWI/AAAAAAAAAAk/lcdN6vGYGm8/s320/IMG_2976.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106210418030062946" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RtznU0MUrXI/AAAAAAAAAAs/gHsXXiRab24/s1600-h/IMG_2993.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RtznU0MUrXI/AAAAAAAAAAs/gHsXXiRab24/s320/IMG_2993.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106210422325030258" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RtznVEMUrYI/AAAAAAAAAA0/tdcKLylehvk/s1600-h/IMG_3003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-R_2J53aiIk/RtznVEMUrYI/AAAAAAAAAA0/tdcKLylehvk/s320/IMG_3003.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106210426619997570" /></a><br />Hi Friends....Here are a couple pictures from our trip to California.
